The Steam Deck can now be ordered without delay

If you want a Steam Deck, you no longer have to book and wait.

Good news: Anyone who wants to buy a Steam deck can now do so without hesitation. Long queues and delays are over, now you can simply order the laptop and have it delivered within days or weeks. The docking station for the Steam Deck is finally available.

Steam Deck normally available: You no longer need to reserve

It was like this until now: When the Steam Deck launched, the only option was to reserve one of the coveted devices. Waiting times were given as rough quarterly estimates and mostly amounted to many months. But now it’s finally over.

You can now easily purchase the Steam Deck. After Valve properly ramped up production, it has now been announced that the queue and all pre-orders or reservations have now been processed.

Conditional: Valve recalls that the capacities nevertheless remain limited. If the demand for a model is so great that the group cannot keep up with production and delivery, reservation queues are reintroduced.

At least the two most expensive Steam Deck variants with NVMe SSD and 256 GB or 512 GB can currently be ordered directly from the homepage. The cheapest 64 GB version already indicates that it can now be reserved. However, it says “October – December 2022” as expected, so almost now.

The Steam Dock is now also available for your Steam Deck

The Steam Deck’s docking station isn’t officially called the Steam Dock, but that doesn’t matter. The accessory was officially announced a while ago, now it’s finally available. At the moment you also don’t need a reservation for this, you can just order directly. It costs 99 euros.

This brings you: With the docking station, you can connect your Steam Deck to the TV or simply charge it. The room looks very chic, small and inconspicuous. It has a special scratch-resistant rubber shape and offers DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.0 and Internet cable connection as well as three USB 3.1 ports. But you can also use a perfectly normal USB-C hub if you already have one.
