As for the Steam Deck, Valve has stated that it has ramped up production and shipment of its portable PC. I recently took possession of mine last month, and it’s been an interesting experience, that’s for sure. Some good, some bad, but I do enjoy the device so far. In addition to this, updates for the devices are being released with each passing day, all of which have helped make the Steam Deck that much better.
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. Sometimes even twice a week! pic.twitter.com/54TAoCQXfd
