Valve had collected pre-orders for the Steam Deck and said initial shipments would begin in December of this year. However, due to “global supply chain problems”, the shipment of the first products was postponed until February 2022.
We have done our best to overcome global supply chain problems, but due to the shortage of materials and the inability of components to reach our production facilities in a timely manner, we will not be able to meet the output dates we originally said. says Valve.
Based on our updated production forecasts, we will begin steam deck shipping in February 2022. This will be the new start date of the reservation order. The next place of the bookers will be preserved, but the dates will change accordingly. Booking date estimates will also be updated shortly after this announcement.
We would like to reiterate our regret that we have not been able to meet the original submission date. We will continue to work to update the booking dates according to our new timeline and we will keep you informed of the updates.
As Valve points out, orderers don’t have to be afraid of losing their order, everyone will keep their order order.
