Steam Deck production update (it's good news)Hello! We're excited to announce that we're going to be able to fulfill demand sooner than we had estimated for everyone in the reservation queue. Many of the supply chain shortfalls that affect Steam Deck are gradually clearing up, and we're continuing to ramp production, so we're able to produce more Decks faster than ever before.
As of today we've updated the reservation windows, and everyone who's currently in the reservation queue will get their Steam Deck email this year. Many customers who were in the "Q4 or later" window have been bumped up to "Q3 (July-September)" window. And everyone else is now solidly in the "Q4 (October-December)" window.As of this moment, new reservations will be in the Q4 bucket, but if these queues fill up it will flip over into the following quarter.

It has been great to see all the positive feedback, impressions, and amazing things you all have already been doing with your Steam Decks. We can't wait to see even more in the coming months.That's it for today, more news soon.

Valve's PC gaming handheld has been a huge success, and Valve expects the popularity of their handheld system to grow as supply grows to meet demand.
