Valve soon will start shipping Steam Decks to game developers
2021-08-07
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[REGNUM] Video game developers partnered with Valve will receive Steam Deck consoles "this week," the GamesRadar portal reports.

Reporters noted that during a visit to Valve's office, they were able to run some games on the handheld console, and that they generally ran smoothly, even though the developers did not make any changes to the games, as they simply did not have the opportunity to test them on the Steam Deck. The GamesRadar authors noted that this in itself is a "little miracle."

In a conversation with reporters, an unidentified Valve representative noted that some partners have not yet seen the console, since even the company itself did not have them. He said that Valve received the devices "a couple of days ago" and added that the company was "nervous" because there could be a situation where she would not have anything to show to invited correspondents of GamesRadar, since the Steam Deck batch still was at customs.

Earlier IA REGNUM reported that Valve had ceased to name specific delivery dates for Steam Deck. The company began to let people who book a console, they will be able to get it only "after the second quarter of 2022" .

#11  He'll settle for Galaxy 12 (unless his mother decides it's too much - she is the final arbiter). If he wants more abilities, he's his own desktop.

#5  I bought Oppos before I knew they were chinese, Grom ☻. But the one wifey had before was a Samsung galaxy A10 something and performs seriously well enough. The junior will obviously want games. I don't know if the Samsung will have heat problems.

My niece selected a Motorola fusion G-40. I find it better than the Samsung at games and stuff.

#2  After 25 minutes of absolute slavering over it he tells you it's for $700 and releasing in December. Glad I just bought the wife two new phones, she'd definitely want this exorbitantly priced mini PC.

For $700, I could build a desktop that would slay any new game.
