Steam Deck recently announced its production was getting faster and they would probably be able to deliver the devices to their owners in a shorter time than expected. Today, they have confirmed the great news with solid data.
Thanks to increased production, Valve managed to complete the Q3 (July-September) deliveries and announced that they beat the estimations. While you are reading these lines, they are already going through the Q4 orders.
If you have been waiting to get your hands on a Steam Deck, you might just have your chance. In case you receive a mail for reservation, you will have 72 hours to complete the transaction with correct information.
If you want to get a more precise expectation about getting a Steam Deck today, Valve says that pre-orders placed today will be delivered between September and December. It is already around the end of September, so this sounds quite okay.
