I see what you did there valve... Let's hope elden ring runs well

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Nice. My preorder says q2 despite getting it the day it came available. Heres hoping I can get pumped up.

 

[Ribi]

Valve and setting a date. What fucking year is it

 

[ANDS]

Literally read this as January 25th, read the first posts and thought "Uhm, is no one else seeing this!"

. . .I need to eat lunch.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

Good, now please confirm my ship date.

 

[chixdiggit]

Good, now please confirm my ship date.

I'm Q2 so hopefully that means April.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

I'm Q2 so hopefully that means April.

I'm Q2 also, which is insane because my order was minutes after preorders opened.

 

[darrylgorn]

A day after my son's birthday.

Good, now please confirm my ship date.

Here's hoping a lot of people who put down a pre-order flake and we all move up

 

[cyberheater]

Exciting stuff. I'm sure it will do very well?

I might be one of those flakes.

Put down a preorder just to get in line but I really doubt I'll pull the trigger.

I imagine a lot of people did the same. I need more info before buying.

I love Valve hardware and still use the Steam controller and the Index but this is probably the most ambitious release from a company not known for their hardware quality or their support. Plus the whole Linux/"it's on the developers to optimize for Steam Deck" wild card.

We shall see. The thing looks fucking cool though.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

After Q2 for me. Hope that means no later than July.

 

[Deerock71]

Perfect for Steam Deck.

 

[yurinka]

Nice. It would be great to see their new Steam OS released and see how its compatibility for Steam games (+emulators) has been improved, and see if there's some performance improvement. Even if it's to use it on a normal PC.

 

[Interfectum]

"Launch" as in ship to a percentage of the people who pre-ordered months ago. k.

Yeah I'm bitter, come at me.

 

[kingpotato]

My reservation still says Q1 2022, will edit when I see the email.

 

[Bragr]

I feel like this will bomb.

 

[digitaltrance]

Will it fail? It seems heavy/uncomfortable to hold for long periods of time.

Unless you're constantly plugged in, that won't be an issue.

 

[jshackles]

Hell yeah, just one more month

 

[Mister Wolf]

When can we expect reviews?

 

[Maiden Voyage]

When can we expect reviews?

Feb 25th. Same day first wave confirmations go out.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

Review units seem to be out. Looking forward to them late in Feb.

Non Nintendo handheld? Probably.

But what do I know I despise handheld gaming

 

[Maiden Voyage]

 

[lordrand11]

I am pretty hype to get mine in!

 

[OmegaSupreme]

It's almost here!

 

[SEGA_2012]

I would love to have one !

It's super impressive that these games work on the Steam Deck. Not sure that I would want to play many of them on a handheld but still really cool.

everyone i know ordered within minutes and everyone was also Q2

One of my buddies refuses to get a desktop so he plans to use the Deck exclusively connected to his TV, never portable. I think he's insane. I will most likely only use it portable.

that's a huge waste of cash lol.
if it's not portable then you can have something so much better and cheaper

Yep. I've tried to explain to him on many occasions. Dude just wants to keep buying gaming laptops for some dumb reason.

I check steam just about every day now and it still says Q1... No email yet. I don't know why but I'm on the verge of sweating when I think too much about it.

Like seeing the face of God, opening my email today was:

Earned me 68,294 Steam points! lol
