The fact that many of us who pre-ordered on the first day also have the same order availability as what's currently listed on the Steam Deck pre-order page is interesting in itself. After that, there will be a further shipment, likely in the second half of the year, though when exactly is not clear. What that means is that we know there will be at least one wave of Steam Decks on sale in February, Q1 for the people who pre-ordered and another sometime between April–June, Q2. No exact dates are given beyond these rough estimates. Polling the PC Gamer staff that pre-ordered on the same day pre-orders went live: some have expected availability in Q2 2022, while others are after Q2 2022. We also don't know if Valve plans to gradually release Steam Decks during each period, or whether the initial restock will be our lot.
At least one in Q2, 2022, and then an unknown quantity thereafter. They will have 72 hours to complete their purchase, otherwise that ticket is sent to the next person in the queue and they lose their chance.Īfter that time, we have very rough estimates as to when the next Steam Deck shipments will be. What that means is that those first in line for a Steam Deck (that signed up last summer) will receive an email allowing them to place an order for the handheld PC on that date. Valve released the Steam Deck's initial wave on February 25, 2022. It should result in a smooth, if a little long-winded, release for the handheld console. Though, Valve is making an attempt at a more orderly ordering system for the Steam Deck than much of the chaos we've seen the past year. As the past few years of PC gaming hardware releases have taught us, nothing is ever that simple.
