Valve have much delayed Steam Deck docks on show at Tokyo Game Show

They’re docks alright

How many Decks would a Steam Deck dock dock if a Steam Deck dock could dock Decks? One, obviously - that’s how docks work. You can’t buy one yet for Valve’s PC gaming handheld, but they’re on the way, and Valve have had them on display for the first time during this week’s Tokyo Game Show.

This is significant in part because the docks remain unavailable to buy. Valve announced them at the same time as the Steam Deck, though said they’d be sold seprarately and available in “late spring”, a few months after the Steam Deck’s own launch. Valve thendelayed them further in June, “due to parts shortages and COVID closures at our manufacturing facilities.”

Docks aside, Valve’s booth at TGS is generally impressive. Jamesis in love with it, from the “towering scale model to the weirdly impressive elegance of its logistics.” We’ll have own stand of Steam Decks atEGX Londonnext week which will pale in comparison, but it will have 40 Steam Decks to try. (Or you can come tryour collection of alt controller games instead.)
