Does anyone know if you can tell your order number or place in the queue?
I ordered back in July. None of the methods I can find on the web seem to give any useful info. I assume they have just binned the expected delivery option as they really don't know.

I have no idea bud, sorry!

Ones thing for sure you will be 10’s of thousands in the queue ahead of me if you ordered in June.

Good luck and I hope you get it Quickly when they are released to buyers.

If you read this, it tells you how many were ordered in the first hour just on the first day of pre release orders.

So I bet that number has probably doubled or trebled by now too!

OK, it's not easy. The best I can find is you go to the choose your steamdeck page in the store and under the options are expected delivery dates which all just say After Q2 2022.

At least 4 months then. Weird way of phrasing it, not Q3 or Q4 but after Q2.

LTT and Gamers Nexus hardware videos are very complimentary.

Full software reviews should be coming out on the 25th along with those lucky lucky lucky first customer deliveries.

I would guess a number of people might balk at paying when their reservation comes up and they have to cough up the full price, so for those who are serious about buying the queue might go faster than anticipated.

Of course, if it becomes the next hot thing for eBay scalpers you can forget that.


Looks pretty good from the early 'pre-reviews' that are emerging. If someone comes out with a decently priced Zen3/RDNA2 notebook before mine comes up in the queue (Q3 supposedly) I'll be going that route instead, though.

Mines Q2, not in too much of a hurry, gives me longer to get the money together for it.

Yep I’ve watched those YouTube videos of the last few days.

Makes me want it even more now, and that’s before seeing any real game play.

I’m just hacked off that they are saying that they have our half life 3 on the back burner to concentrate on the steam deck development and release.

We can but hope, but I strongly suspect that they will be in eBay within days marked up by 1000 percent by the scalpers sadly!

Do you actually have an email from the valve store against your order with a date on it, or just the info that’s on he website referring to Q2?

It's just what it says under the model I chose when I go onto the Steam Deck page on Steam.

"Your expected order availability: Q2 2022"

Same for me, I had the email in November with the shipping update saying February 2022, with link to the site saying from Q2 for the 512.

My preorder is still showing as Q1 but I’ve just bought a new laptop (ostensibly for work stuff, not gaming) so having second thoughts about dropping more cash on the Steam Deck. That said, I know I’m going to kick myself all around the room if i don’t get it.

I could always drop it on eBay and make a profit… idea

I’d be surprised if you get yours in Q1, as the official steam deck page mentions how all deliveries have been pushed back due to global supply chain shortages, but it would be ace if you do, so you can tell us all about how ace it is, and make us all go crazy waiting for ours to be delivered!

Q1 is the already pushed back date - it should have been out back in December. That said, and even though I had my order in within the first minute or so, I'll be very surprised if I get my order email on the 25th.
