The much-awaited hand held console has been released, but boasts a hefty waiting list. Valve<\/a> has now said Steam Deck shipments are “ramping up”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back in January, Valve revealed that its first games console would finally be released<\/a> the following month. The Steam Deck was first announced in July 2021, but faced delays due to supply chain and shortage issues. To get your hands on one, you needed to place a reservation. Based on a first come, first served approach, people with reservations would eventually receive an order email. Hopeful customers would then have 3 days to reply to this email and place their order. From there, orders were to be shipped in batches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first batch of Steam Deck shipments went out on the 28th of February, after the first round of orders on the 25th. Huge demand and popularity has meant that any new reservations could see people waiting until October<\/a> before they get the chance to order their console.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working in quarters, Valve has announced its moved onto Q2. This means that the second batch of order emails has been sent out to eager reservers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome to Q2! We've just sent out the first set of order emails to Q2 reservers (in order of reservation time). Starting today we're ramping up Steam Deck shipments, and will be sending more order availability emails every week.
