Valve also posted additional details regarding the launch of Steam Deck:
- We will start sending invites shortly after 10:00 am on February 25, PST

- You can only order the Steam Deck model that you originally reserved.
- Your reservation deposit will be applied to the final price of Steam Deck, and shipping costs are included.
For those unfamiliar with it, Steam Deck is supposed to run games on a different operating system, even if considered for a portable PC gaming device. It has a new and improved version of SteamOS, and it comes with Proton, which allows games to run with any additional effort or porting set by developers. Proton is here to make sure game compatibility does not become an issue and provide anti-cheat solutions by working directly with vendors.
