Valve are “more than doubling” weekly Steam Deck shipments

Q3 reservations will become available from this week

Unlike thelast time Valve ramped up Steam Deck production, it’s not clear if this speedier shipment schedule was already taken into account when listing the availability estimates. But given the Deck technically launched back in February, the waiting list is indeed a long and arduous one, so anything that helps work through it quicker should be welcomed. Maybe Liam will finally get his?

According toanother tweetby Valve designer Lawrence Yang, whospoke to Katharine about the Steam Deck just after it was unveiled, emails will continue to go out to reserve order holders in batches – sometimes twice a week, on Mondays and Thursdays. That’s another acceleration from the initial once-per-week batches that went out on Mondays. As usual, if you made an order and receive the email, you’ll have 72 order to confirm, pay up and get your Steam Deck readied for postage.
