“We are pleased to announce that with today’s flurry of emails, we have finished our reservation queue. We’re in stock and the Steam Deck is now available for direct purchase!” says Valve. “The team has worked hard over the past year to address component shortages and logistical issues, and thanks to this effort we are now manufacturing and shipping Steam Decks at a faster rate than ever before. Despite ever-increasing booking rates, we have managed to exceed our shipment estimates and today we have finished the queue.”
Although it has managed to match supply with demand, Valve acknowledges that its “production, processing and shipping capacity remains limited.” Consequently, if the volume of orders for a certain model of Steam Deck exceeds its distribution capacity, the delivery estimates will be lengthened, and when the time comes, the reservation system may recover until the company gets back on track. up to date. Currently all three Steam Deck models can be purchased directly.
Regarding the Steam Deck docking station, it is a base with three USB-A 3.1 Gen 1 ports, a USB-C port for power, DisplayPort, HDMI and a Gigabit Ethernet port. “It’s the perfect way to connect your Steam Deck to power, two external displays, and any other peripherals,” says Valve. The company allows the use of any other USB docking station or hub and claims that the work done on SteamOS to get the docking station to work properly has helped improve compatibility with these devices.
Like the Steam Deck, the Docking Station can be purchased outright and delivery takes approximately 1-2 weeks. Both devices are subject to the same processing and shipping limitations, so if the volume of orders is extremely high, the reservation system will recover.
