The Steam Deck is Valve s new Switch-esque handheld that will allow gamers to play their Steam games while not sitting at a computer. It not only runs Steam, but can run any PC software, meaning players can potentially get all of their PC games onto this handheld. If you ve ever wanted to play your PC-exclusive titles from a handheld, Steam s new machine seems like it s right up your alley.
So how do you purchase a Steam Deck? Here s what you need to know.
Reserving a Steam Deck
The Steam Deck is set to launch in December, and reservations for them open up on July 16 on this page. Steam allows users to reserve any of the three models of the console for a $5 fee (this counts towards the Deck s purchase price). While each model has different internal storage options (SSDs of different sizes), and the 512GB has anti-glare glass, every model will come with a carrying case.
