Steam Deck was introduced a few months ago from Valve, historical company known for Steam, a portal for downloading games digitally. By the time it debuted, everyone thought the second half of the 2021 would have seen a Nintendo Switch competitor. Instead Steam communicated that the handheld console will not officially arrive this year. Let's go and see the reason for the delay e when Steam Deck hits the market.
When will Steam Deck come out? We thought the debut was this year, but the launch has been postponed to 2022. Here's why and date of arrival
Earlier this year, Valve unveiled its Steam Deck game console, which will allow us to play almost all games from the Steam service. Valve originally planned to release the console in December, but the plans have changed.
The Steam Deck launch will be postponed by two months. We have done our best to circumvent global supply chain problems, but due to a lack of materials, components do not reach our manufacturing facilities in time to meet our original launch dates. Based on our updated build estimates, Steam Deck will begin shipping to customers in February 2022.
As expected, therefore, the cause is the chip crisis. This started with the car market and then spread like wildfire to all other electronic devices. Smartphone, smartwatch and so on. Valve said i pre-orders will keep their seats in the queue. But the deadlines for each buyer will be moved by about two months. This means Steam Deck will come towards February 2022.
Valve's console features a dedicated quad-core processor with a Integrated GPU developed by AMD. The set-top box also received a 40 Wh battery, 16 GB of RAM and 64-512 GB of internal storage. You can use MicroSD cards to expand the memory. We also find a USB Type-C connector for charging and connecting to external displays, Bluetooth and a 3,5 mm headphone jack.
