Word from theSteam Deckfoundries is that Valve are significantly stepping up the number of handhelds they ship out to reservation holders. A missive from the officialSteam Deck Twitteraccount claimed they’ll “more than double” the total of weekly shipments, and confirmed that those with order availability estimates in Q3 2022 will start receiving emails to confirm and claim their orders from June 30th.
Unlike thelast time Valve ramped up Steam Deck production, it’s not clear if this speedier shipment schedule was already taken into account when listing the availability estimates. But given the Deck technically launched back in February, the waiting list is indeed a long and arduous one, so anything that helps work through it quicker should be welcomed. Maybe Liam will finally get his?

It’s all quite the recovery, what with the Steam Deck originally missing its December 2021 launch, thanks in part to the silicone shortages that had also mucked up the availability of CPUs and graphics cards. It will probably still take a few months before every last reservation order is fulfilled, but hopefully this faster production pace can cut down the wait.
