If you dreamed of buying a Steam Deck without placing a reservation, well, your dream just came true. Eight months after Valve launched its portable gaming PC, the Steam maker announced on Twitter that manufacturing has finally caught up to demand, and you can order a Steam Deck without placing a reservation and waiting up to several months for yours to arrive.
Valve’s website lists the 64GB and 256GB Steam Deck variants available for their usual prices – $399 and $529, respectively – with an estimated delivery period of one to two weeks. The 512GB version ($649) still seems to be in short supply, though, as Valve estimates these units won’t be available until sometime between the date you order and December.
Previously, orders placed as early as February or March took at least three or four months to fill on account of supply shortages, specifically superconductor shortages.
Valve also announced the long-awaited Steam Deck dock is available for purchase as well. The Deck dock lets you connect your Deck to pretty much anything you can imagine. It comes with ports for HDMI 2.0, ethernet, USB-C, and USB and doubles as a desk mount, along with being a connectivity station.
The Steam Deck dock will set you back $89.99 and also takes one to two weeks to arrive.
