After a delay kept it from its initial December launch date, Valve says the Steam Deck is still “on track” for its new February 2022 release. The update came via PC Gamer, which conducted an interview with Valve designer, Greg Coomer.
“We do feel like we’re on track for that,” Coomer said in the interview. “We’re still bummed that we had to move from end of this year to beginning of next. But yeah, all the signs are pointing to us being able to ship in February.”
The original delay came, according to Valve, due to the component shortage plaguing the entire industry. Despite so many other pieces of hardware — GPUs, CPUs, consoles, etc. — still being nearly impossible to find, Valve thinks it’ll be okay for the initial release. But even with the February launch for the Steam Deck, many will obviously wonder if it will be a soft or hard release. According to Coomer, the company will be prepared for a full launch.
