Steam Deck

[GlennN]

Now that we're getting close (hopefully) to the first batch of Steam Deck units being shipped, I thought it might be good to start a thread for this. Who else is excited for the release? What games are people looking forward to playing on the go?

For me, most of my gaming is handheld (just easier to get my gaming in that way), and has been that way for over a decade. I went from my trusty PSP to my Vita, which is still my primary gaming platform. I am looking forward to the Steam Deck for both sports gaming (Madden 21/22 [assuming they run on it], Axis Football 21, Legend Bowl, Super Blood Hockey, Tape to Tape Hockey and Super Mega Baseball 3) and non-sports gaming (Cities: Skylines, Teardown [if it runs on it], Wreckfest, GTA 4 and 5, Door Kickers and Flashing Lights). It will be great to play more of my Steam games!

Yeah, I saw that thread, but that is for computer gaming in general. Just thought we should have a thread devoted to the Steam Deck. When it eventually comes out, there may be issues with using it, at least with some games.

For those interested, Steam has now set up a link so you can see which games in your Steam Library are verified, playable or unsupported for Steam Deck.

I've been following this site for over two weeks now, and its amazing how many games will be playable at launch. Can't wait to get my hands on mine.

Re: Steam Deck

I don't understand this? I've ordered July 18th the same day those with new steam accounts could reserve a copy

I would think I should be pretty high in line & should receive my order link today but according to this i won't.. & that isn't fair I highly doubt so many people ordered that 1st weekend that I would be far down list..

Is everyone showing this expected after Q22 date??? If so then hopefully I get my email today to complete order. Screenshot_20220225-064041_Samsung%20Internet.jpeg

Yeah, I feel your pain. Don't forget that so many people preordered immediately that it shut the site down (I was a few days later, so I doubt I will be in the first batch).

I am still excited for the Steam Deck, but my excitement is a bit tempered by my library compatibility (I have 22 games in my Steam library; three games are listed as "playable" and 19 are "unknown"), and the fact that The Show did not come to PC, as I expected it would.

Re: Steam Deck

Yeah I get what you're saying I just hope I'm in the 1st batch based on fact that I reserved in July there shouldn't be any reason for valve to not include those of us who ordered in the 1st week to get there's in 1st batch as they have had over 7 to 8 months to make sure they have enough quality ready for those in the 1st week or the month of July to get there orders in 1st batch.


Originally my ordered showed me I'd get mine in Q22 so hopefully the after q22 is showing for everyone atm...

That said I seriously hope enough people were kind enough to cancel there reserve allowing me to move up into 1st batch

That said guess I'll find it in 2 more hours if I'll be able to complete my order at last..

The fact a month or 2 ago it showed I'd get mine in q2022 gives me hope I'll still be in today batch..

2 hrs away from knowing my verdict!!!

Re: Steam Deck

Yup, took me a bit of time to get through and order the day it launched, I'm still Q2 (but not 'after') also even w/ shipping notices going out today. Nothing unfair about it, just got a massive number of orders.

Reserved on Fri, July 16, 2021
Your expected order availability: Q2 2022

Per my email, I ordered on Fri, Jul 16, 2021, 11:32 AM

Preorders went live July 16, 2021 and 10am. I ordered mine 90 minutes later after all their site problems and stuff and I'll be surprised if I'm in the first wave or two.

Embargos are up, so some honest videos dropping.

Re: Steam Deck

Happy launch day! We’ve seen some questions about what it means to be in the Q1 reservation group, and when these folks will receive their emails. Here’s how it breaks down.

• All people who are in the Q1 reservation window on the Steam Deck store page will receive an order email by the end of March. (Q1 is Quarter 1, or January through March).
• The first batch of emails has already gone out this morning.
• The next batch of emails will go out on Monday, March 7th. (It turns out the logistics work out better if we don’t try to ship over a weekend.)
• We’ll continue sending emails to Q1 reservers in the order their reservations were made on a weekly basis through the end of March (March 14th, 21st, 28th)
• In April, we’ll start going through the Q2 queue in a similar fashion.

We’re working through our production schedules, and will have news soon for folks in the After-Q2 bucket.

Re: Steam Deck

No email for me. I ordered the 512 GB at 10:05 am PST, I’m still confident I’ll get mine in Q1.

You can see your timeframe under your chosen SKU on the Steam site (or go to it in the Steam client). But yeah, I'd presume that early you'd be this first wave.
