Valve launched Steam Deck over 12 months ago, but just in February it started shipping the portable gaming PC to those who had pre-ordered. After several months of batching to Steam users who pre-ordered the device, the company has finally announced that the booking queue has ended. This means that the Steam Deck is immediately available for purchase.
The company revealed in a post that it struggled with supply chain issues and component shortages, but after Valve’s hard work, the ever-increasing booking rate was beaten. Of course, the manufacturer also reserves the right to return to bookings if demand is too high, because “the production, processing and shipping bandwidth is still limited”.
The cheapest Steam Deck costs € 419 and only has 64GB of eMMC storage. For € 549, you get one with a 256GB SSD and some Steam Community gadgets, while the 512GB model has “fastest storage” and anti-reflective etched glass, an exclusive carrying case and a virtual keyboard theme . The whole package costs € 679.
Users who purchase the last two variants will have to wait for shipping in 1-2 weeks, while the cheaper variant will be available for orders later this year.
Valve has also launched the Docking Station where the Steam Deck can connect to two external displays, can also be used for charging or to connect to multiple other Valve devices. The price is $ 89 / € 99 and is also available today.
