That really depends on Valve's choice of SSD, however. It's also kitted out with a speedy NVMe SSD, which allows for bandwidth upwards of 3,000MB/s. The reason for our 512GB aspirations are that games are big and anything smaller than that is going to feel a tight squeeze. Valve has confirmed to us that this is the most popular of the lot with customers, too. Ideally, we'd all pick up the 512GB model. $399 (64GB) / $529 (256GB) / $649 (512GB)Īs mentioned before, there are three different storage configurations for the Steam Deck: 64GB, 256GB, and 512GB.

It will also be possible to replace and upgrade the SSD, though that may not be a great option-Valve says that it chose the SSD in the Deck for its speed and to avoid electromagnetic interference with other components, so you shouldn't expect any random off-the-shelf part to measure up. If you plan to upgrade the storage, you'll likely want to spend a bit more cash on a faster MicroSD card for quicker loading times. All three versions will let you increase storage space with a MicroSD card, at least. The more expensive versions of the Steam Deck feature faster NVMe SSD storage, while the cheapest is listed with a 64GB eMMC (embedded multi-media card) storage solution. The price of the Steam Deck depends on which version you want, and there are three different versions based on storage size. (Image credit: Future) How much does the Steam Deck cost? We expect updates over the course of the next few days, so sit tight.
If you head to the Steam Deck store page (opens in new tab) on the account which you made your Steam Deck reservation, you will find an expected order availability listed beneath the cancel button (don't press this).Ī word of warning, however: a few members of the PC Gamer team with reservations are yet to see an order availability update on the store page. How do I check my Steam Deck delivery date? There are currently no plans to sell the Steam Deck in stores, so buying it from Valve directly will be the only option for the foreseeable future. The Steam Deck is currently only available to reserve for the US, UK, Canada and the European Union, but Valve has told us that it wants to make the Deck available to order in more countries when it can. "When inventory is available, customers will be notified in the order reservations were made to make their purchase," says Valve. It'll be refunded if you change your mind and decide to cancel. That $5 deposit will go toward the cost of the Steam Deck if you do decide to follow through and order one. If you haven't got a reservation yet, Valve's shipping estimate for pre-orders placed now is currently "After Q2 2022," which could be many months out.Ĭurrently a Steam Deck can be reserved if you put down a $5 (£4) deposit.
