Valve is expanding Steam Deck<\/a> shipments to some regions that could take the handheld PC-meets-console to new heights. The company just announced that reservations are now open in Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Taiwan through Komodo<\/a>, a site that also sells Valve\u2019s Index VR headset for PC among other games and gaming merchandise. If you visit steamdeck.com<\/a> in one of those regions, you should be rerouted to Komodo\u2019s site soon, or you can click here<\/a> and select your language. <\/p>\n

Valve spokesperson Kaci Aitchison Boyle tells The Verge<\/em> that the first batch of new reservations will be fulfilled later this year; a press release adds that shipments will begin in Japan, \u201cwith additional units planned to ship to customers in Korea, Hong Kong, and Taiwan in the weeks immediately following.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pour one out for our friends in Australia, though, who are still waiting on news of a launch after Valve name-dropped the country during its November 2021 developer summit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In Japan, the Steam Deck will be priced starting at 59,800 yen (roughly $447), ranging up to 99,800 yen (roughly $746) for the premium 512GB model. In the US, those models cost $400 and $650, respectively. Like before, you only have to pay a tiny refundable amount now to secure your reservation: 1,000 yen (around $7.50).<\/p>\n
