Valve, together with the Steam Deck handheld, aims to change the gaming world. The device, which was created by the success of Nintendo Switch and eagerly awaited by the players, will say hello to the market soon. In these days when there are many question marks about the release date, the Valve front sprinkled water on the hearts of the players.
The console, which is worried about the production stage due to the global chip shortage, will not change the previously planned release date. This caused rejoicing among the players.
Steam Deck pre-orders will arrive in February
Sharing a blog post about the development process of Steam Deck, Valve did not neglect to provide very important details. Aware of the concerns about the supply process of the console, the company made a statement that would relieve everyone. Valve stated that without any mishaps, the Steam Deck will be released in February 2022. In addition, the company announced that they continue to support the developers despite all the difficulties.
Declaring that they will bring the consoles to the players just in time, Valve mentioned a few more important details. The company conveyed the following to its followers about the compliance program:
Despite the global pandemic, supply and shipping issues, we’ll be able to start rolling out Steam Deck consoles from the end of February, apparently. It’s also important that we give developers the ability to test their games so they can get the nice green certified check. That’s why we ship developer kits in large numbers. We confirm another wave of development. Related devices and hundreds more were shipped in the last month (and we continue to confirm and ship more).
Steam Deck, which was planned to welcome players towards the end of 2021, was subject to a delay once. However, despite the fact that there has been no improvement in the conditions, Valve’s keeping its word is an important development for the players. In addition, the company’s ability to distribute developer kits without any problems will lead to an increase in the number of games supported by the console. Steam Deck, whose performance is very curious, let’s see if it will manage to overcome expectations. We’ll wait and see.
