\"Valve's<\/p>\n

PC gamers patiently waiting to get their hands on Valve\u2019s portable gaming PC won\u2019t have to wait much longer, as the company announced that it\u2019s making the Steam Deck<\/a> available to order on February 25, 2022.<\/p>\n

Not only did the company announce<\/a> that it would start taking orders for the highly-anticipated Steam Deck, but it also announced that the hardware would ship just three days later, on February 28, 2022. That means that if you actually manage to order one, you won\u2019t have to wait very long to have the gaming PC in your hands.<\/p>\n

Users who have already reserved a Steam Deck will receive an email with an invitation to purchase the device on launch day. They\u2019ll have 72 hours to order their Steam Deck; otherwise, the invitation will be passed on to someone on the waitlist.<\/p>\n

Additionally, you can only order the model you originally reserved, so if you\u2019ve changed your mind and decided you want to go for a cheaper or more expensive model, you won\u2019t be able to do so without forfeiting your place in line and starting over in the waitlist.<\/p>\n

The money you already spent on the reservation will be applied to the final purchase price of the Steam Deck, so it won\u2019t be wasted. However, if you don\u2019t order in the first 72 hours, Valve didn\u2019t say what would happen to the cash you put down.<\/p>\n

If you didn\u2019t reserve a Steam Deck<\/a> and you aren\u2019t already on the waitlist, your chances of getting one right away are zero. Valve did say that it plans to release new batches of orders weekly, but the company didn\u2019t say how many would be available in these additional batches. You can join the waitlist now<\/a>, but it\u2019ll be a while before you\u2019re invited to buy one.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
