If you\u2019re interested in a Steam Deck but haven\u2019t reserved one yet, you might want to make a reservation sometime soon. Valve has updated the Steam Deck page to show that any reservations placed now won\u2019t be able to actually make an order until sometime \u201cafter Q3 2022,\u201d which means you shouldn\u2019t expect to get one of the handheld gaming PCs of your own until at least October. <\/p>\n

If you have any interest in a Steam Deck, I recommend putting down the $5 required to make a reservation and secure your spot in line. While my colleague Sean Hollister explains in his review<\/a> that the Steam Deck, at least right now, is \u201cbasically an early access game console,\u201d there was a lot about the device he really liked, and hopefully, many of the kinks will be ironed out by that \u201cafter Q3\u201d availability window. And if you decide not to follow through with an order, the $5 deposit will be refunded.<\/p>\n
