Rejoice, ye gamers who prefer handheld consoles! Valve\u2019s Steam Deck will officially start selling on February 25. However, the Steam Deck\u2019s release day<\/a> promises to be just as chaotic and challenging as any of the games you\u2019ll ever play on it, so buckle up.<\/p>\n

For some reason, Valve is making the process a little more complicated than it probably needs to be. The company released a blog post<\/a> stating,\u201d On February 25th, we will be sending out the first batch of order emails to reservation holders. Customers will have 3 days (72 hours) from receipt of their order email to make their purchase, before their reservation is released to the next person in the queue.\u201d<\/p>\n

So if you were lucky enough to have successfully placed a reservation<\/a>, you\u2019ll get an email that morning sometime after 10:00am PST. From there, you\u2019ll have the aforementioned three days to officially place your order. If you\u2019re serious about ordering a Steam Deck, you\u2019ll want to keep a watchful eye on your inbox.<\/p>\n

The company also said that it will release new batches of the consoles in weekly waves, which will hopefully help get more of them into the hands of actual gamers instead of scalpers. Valve says the first orders to be placed should start shipping just a few days later, on February 28.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s exciting to see the console hit this milestone after it was first announced<\/a> back in July 2021. Originally, the Steam Deck was going to begin shipping in December 2021, but it was faced with months-long delays due to supply chain shortages.<\/p>\n

If you didn\u2019t place a reservation for the Steam Deck back in July, you still can do so for just $5 on the product\u2019s website. There are three storage capacity options to choose from\u201464 GB (eMMC), 256GB (NVMe SSD), and 512GB (NVMe SSD). However, just be aware that all new reservations are likely to face lengthier delays, as Valve\u2019s website now states that the expected order availability for them will be \u201cafter Q2 2022.\u201d<\/p>\n
