While Valve has said that the Steam Deck will be coming to other markets at some point “after Q2 2022”, any hope of it being truly available in Australia this year are dim.Īt the moment, if you go into the Steam website to buy a Steam Deck, you will be hit with the message “this item is not available for reserve in your country”. Much like PlayStation’s ‘PS Now’ subscription service, we Aussies miss out. Unfortunately, this is only in the United States, United Kingdom, France, Canada and Germany. Delayed like everything else in the gaming sphere due to the Covid-19 Pandemic and a global chip shortage that has had every gaming company running around like a crazed chicken, the Steam Deck officially began arriving at those who first reserved on February 28th.
