The release of valve software’s latest portable game PC steam deck was delayed by two months to February 2022.
Valve, headquartered in Bellevue, Washington, announced an extension on Wednesday through its official steam blog. According to the official FAQ of steam deck, the delay is attributed to the interruption of the current global supply chain.
Valve wrote: “although we did our best to deal with global supply chain problems (we mean that we considered additional time to deal with these risks and worked with multiple component suppliers), our manufacturing plans were still affected.”. “Material shortages and delays mean that components cannot arrive at our manufacturing plant on time.”
Valve said that all changes in the steam deck pre order process are dates. It started pre ordering on a first come, first served basis last summer. Despite the delay, anyone who gets a place on this line should have it. It actually takes two months to get your computer.
The steam deck was first discovered in July and an anonymous leak occurred in May. It combines the shape factors of handheld game systems such as Nintendo switch with high-performance and miniaturized game PCs, and can run many (but not all) games currently provided on valve digital store steam.
The platform uses a custom amd APU, equipped with Zen 2 2.4-3.5 GHz CPU, 16GB ram and microSD card slot for extended storage. Out of the box, it runs a new version of steamos, which is valve’s first Linux based operating system for its independent steam PC.
After I personally experienced this phone in August, the biggest gain from it is its versatility and low price. Starting at $399, this platform allows you to buy many computers at a low price. You can connect it to the keyboard, monitor and mouse as a portable workstation.
Alternatively, valve does not plan to install locking measures on deck, so patchers can wipe their drives and install any software they like. This is a big gift to the self-made community, just like the officially recognized version of the famous hacker friendly game station vita.
