Currently, Valve\u2019s official website is the only place on the internet that has Steam Deck stock \u2014 that\u2019s true in the UK and everywhere else on the planet.<\/p>\nNo third-party retailers like Amazon, Currys or Argos have gotten in on the action yet, although we have a feeling that second-hand Steam Deck units could be showing up on eBay and CeX very soon indeed, probably with highly inflated prices (lest we forget the PS5 stock<\/a> problems).<\/p>\nOn the official Steam Deck pre-order<\/a> page, you\u2019ll see the following purchase options, at three different Steam Deck price points:<\/p>\n- \u00a3349<\/strong> \u2013 64GB and carrying case<\/li>\n
- \u00a3459<\/strong> \u2013 256GB + SSD + carrying case + Steam Community profile bundle<\/li>\n
- \u00a3569<\/strong> \u2013 512GB + SSD + anti-glare etched glass + carrying case + Steam Community profile bundle + Virtual Keyboard theme<\/li>\n<\/ul>
There are a couple of things worth noting here. You must have a Steam account to pre-order a Steam Deck. Reserving a Steam Deck costs \u00a34, with the final payment taken at a later date (more on that in a sec).<\/p>\n
A special Steam Deck dock (serving a similar purpose to the Nintendo Switch dock) will be sold separately and released at a later date. Until that dock launches, you\u2019ll have to connect the Steam Deck to your monitor using the USB-C port on the portable machine. For now, to connect your Steam Deck to a monitor or TV, you\u2019ll have to use a USB-C docking station like this one on Amazon<\/a>.<\/p>\nSteam Deck release date<\/strong><\/h2>\nThe Steam Deck release date is\u00a025th February 2022<\/strong>. From that date, Valve will start contacting people that have pre-ordered the machine with a view to taking their final payment and arranging the delivery.<\/p>\nAs an official Steam Deck blog<\/a>\u00a0puts it: \u201cOn February 25th, we will be sending out the first batch of order emails to reservation holders. Customers will have 3 days (72 hours) from receipt of their order email to make their purchase, before their reservation is released to the next person in the queue. The first units will be on their way to customers starting the 28th, and we plan to release new order email batches on a weekly cadence.\u201d<\/p>\nPreference will go to players that pre-ordered their Steam Deck earliest, then. If you were to order a Steam Deck today, the official Steam Deck<\/a> website estimates that you could be waiting until \u2018after Q2 2022\u2019 to receive your machine.<\/p>\nThat would mean that you might be waiting until July 2022 to actually receive a Steam Deck, especially if you didn\u2019t order it last summer when pre-orders first began. We\u2019ll bring you more information on that release timeline as we hear it.<\/p>
Steam Deck verified games<\/strong><\/h2>\nAlthough most PC games will be playable on Steam Deck (albeit with the risk of tiny text), some games are being tweaked especially to suit the machine\u2019s tiny form factor. These games will run particularly well on the system, and they\u2019re collectively known as \u2018Steam Deck verified games\u2019.<\/p>\n
Over on the SteamDB database<\/a>, you can see the full list of Steam Deck verified games and games that have been certified as \u2018playable\u2019 or \u2018unsupported\u2019 on Steam Deck.<\/p>\nAt the last count, there were 350 Steam Deck verified games, and a further 268 titles that will be playable on the Steam Deck. That makes 618 games that will run on the Steam Deck at launch, with plenty more expected to be added in the future. Watch this space, then!<\/p>\n
