Valve has released another update regarding the Steam Deck production timeline, and it seems like anyone with a reservation is set to get one by the end of the year.Â
The news comes from a post on the Steam website, stating âWe’re excited to announce that we’re going to be able to fulfill demand sooner than we had estimated for everyone in the reservation queue.â

âAs of today we’ve updated the reservation windows, and everyone who’s currently in the reservation queue will get their Steam Deck email this year.â The post continues: âMany customers who were in the “Q4 or later” window have been bumped up to “Q3 (July-September)” window. And everyone else is now solidly in the “Q4 (October-December)” window.â
Itâs stated that any new reservations will be âin the Q4 bucketâ, although this may spill âinto the following quarterâ if queues fill. The post concludes with a tease of âmore news coming soonâ.
This comes following the update from last month that Valve would be ramping up Steam Deck production, âshipping more than double the number of Steam Decks every weekâ.
Currently, there are three models of the handheld: a ÂŁ349 64GB version, a midrange ÂŁ459 iteration, and the premium ÂŁ569 512GB release, which also includes the fastest storage, premium anti-glare etched glass, and more. There is also an official dock for the system from Valve coming in the future, although it was delayed from its expected late spring release âdue to parts shortages and COVID closuresâ at the companyâs manufacturing facilities.

NME awarded the system four out of five stars, stating âThe Switch still claims the simplest, most portable option but the Steam Deck is a literal game-changer when it comes to unshackling yourself from your gaming PC.â
In other news, Valve is updating its guidelines for the graphical assets used by developers on Steam.
