In blog post by developer Valve, it has revealed the official release date for its portable system the Steam Deck as February 25.
Originally planned to be released last year in time for the holidays, Valve’s portable console the Steam Deck was delayed for two months owing to global computer chip shortages. After the wildly successful pre-order period, Valve then focused on the Steam Deck as its highest priority.
Despite the delays Valve reassured customers in both December and January that the Steam Deck was still on course for its February release. Now in an official blog post Valve confirms the release date as February 25 and explains further the purchasing process.
People who pre-ordered the Steam Deck will only be allowed to purchase the model they applied for. Then from February 25, Valve will begin emailing those on the list asking if they would like to complete their purchase. Those who wish to purchase the Steam Deck have 72 hours to respond before that system moves on to the next customer.
