Valve Says It S Ramping Up Steam Deck Shipments

Welcome to Q2! We just sent the first set of order emails to the holders of the 2nd quarter (in order of booking time). From today, we increase Steam Deck shipments and will send more order availability emails every week. Sometimes even twice a week! pic.twitter.com/54TAoCQXfd – Steam Deck (@OnDeck) April 4, 2022 Valve had mentioned the possibility of an increase. “In terms of production, [production] “It will go up very quickly,” Valve’s Lawrence Yang said in an interview with IGN in February. “In the first month – very quickly – we will be tens of thousands. By the second month, we will be in the hundreds of thousands. And beyond that, it will grow even faster. ” Let’s hope that these estimates are still in line with what we can expect for the production of new units. It is unclear whether the increased production will lead to an increase in order estimates on the Steam Deck website or whether the current estimates already reflect the planned ramp and Valve did not immediately respond to a request for clarification. (Selfishly, I wonder why I would love to place my estimated order for the third quarter earlier.)
