Hardware news Steam Deck: Valve announces good news for its portable console and reveals its packaging
Last November, Valve broke the hopes of many gamers to have their “Switch” PC version under the tree. Due to the lack of components that affect all supply chains of current machines, the market launch of the laptop has been postponed by the makers of Half-Life. But to make up for that, the company announced some great news and a handful of never-before-seen images!
The shipments originally scheduled for December are a distant memory. The players now have to patiently take their problems and wait until February 2022 to get their hands on the competitor counter. Unlike the handheld console from Big N, the Steam Deck will not benefit from exclusive games, as the manufacturer recently announced.. Granted, that small amount of disappointments won’t tarnish gamers’ excitement for this new portable console, however Valve still wanted to be forgiven by sharing news of its support and revealing the look of its machine’s packaging!
Exams passed with flying colors!
In a blog post on the Steam platform, Gabe Newell’s company offered a small update to players impatiently waiting for the machine. Before it was first shipped to customers in February, the console still had to go through a few design validation tests. But there doesn’t seem to be a problem on the Steam Deck side as the last production version has been completed!
These are the latest versions that are sent to the development studios and serve as development kits. So what Valve is presenting today is neither more nor less than the final Steam Deck prototype, namely the one that will go into production! Until then, there will be a few small changes to this version, as well as the packaging, which is shown in pictures at the same time and has yet to be tested.
Minimum packaging for maximum performance?
To accompany this good news, Valve has no choice but to post a few pictures of the packaging that its future portable console will come in. As mentioned above, the company states that the packaging and presentation of the product still needs testing, however There’s a good chance this will be the final design that those who pre-ordered the machine will discover next February.
After all, it’s a fairly minimalist packaging offered by the company run by Gabe Newell. A simple and subtle aesthetic that is satisfied with using a folding box made of cardboard to protect the precious sesame. Valve designed it to be able to play wherever you want and in the language of your choice. Another notable element of this presentation: the transport case, with which you can optimally protect your shiny steam deck.
