The anticipation surrounding the Steam Deck continues to grow as Valve has announced its official shipping to Australia starting next month, in November 2024. This news coincides with Steam's inaugural presence at PAX Australia, where visitors will have the opportunity to experience Steam Decks firsthand on the expo floor.
Since its launch in March 2022, Valve's handheld gaming device has been available for shipping across North America, Europe, Japan, Hong Kong, South Korea, and Taiwan. With Australia now joining this list, fans will soon be able to purchase the Steam Deck directly from Steam.
The company expressed its efforts to bring Steam Deck to Australia, acknowledging that the process took longer than anticipated. However, they are excited to finally share this development with the gaming community.
Consumers can choose from three different models of the Steam Deck, available at the prices listed, which incorporate GST. Reviews have generally highlighted the device's impressive capabilities, although there have also been mentions of concerns regarding battery performance and compatibility.
Engagement with the gaming community is ongoing, and those interested can stay connected through various platforms.
