We will update this post when a release date is revealed.The Steam Deck handheld gaming console is already shipped to various developers, and today we have the opportunity to evaluate the capabilities of such a device. A more precise date has not yet been announced. Right now the Steam Deck’s release date is just December 2021. Hopefully it works better than we’ve seen for other systems like the PS5 and various GPUs. This is Valve’s attempt to combat scalpers. Only people who have purchased a game on Steam prior to June 2021 will be eligible for the first 48 hours and you’ll need to put down a $5 deposit in order to reserve, with the rest due when orders process.

Valve opens up its reservation system for the Steam Deck tomorrow, July 16th at 1 pm ET / 10 PT. All three models will have a Micro-SD slot so you can expand your storage further.

I would definitely opt for the 256GB or higher storage option not only for the size of the drive but for the faster speeds that should make load-times much shorter.

$649 for 512 GB SSD storage and an anti-glare etched glass screen (fastest model).

$529 for 256GB SSD storage and exclusive Steam Community profile bundle (faster storage).

$399 for 64GB eMMC internal storage (slowest storage).

Three Steam Deck models will be available to order:

Wi-FiDual-band Wi-Fi radio, 2.4GHz and 5GHz, 2 x 2 MIMO, IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac.

Bluetooth 5.0 (support for controllers, accessories and audio).
