Steam Deck release

The news regarding the release of this console has actually been discussed for a long time among players. Rumors regarding Valve will launch a portable console have been enthusiastically awaited by players from last May 2021.

Given Valve's previous failure to release Steam Machines and Steam Controller in the past, players are hopeful that this Valve project will succeed.

Confirmation was made by Valve's party several months later. Valve named the portable PC console Steam Deck.

The design of previous devices is often compared to consoles whose prices have skyrocketed on the Nintendo Switch.

From the design of the device, this portable PC console is like a combination of Nintendo Switch, Sega Game Gear, and Steam Controller.

The initial plan for the original December 2021 release was postponed until it was finally released on February 25, 2022. This setback was considered to be quite in line with the results given by its good performance.

The release also coincides with a new mini-game from Valve called Apeture Desk Job. This game is set in a virtual world where it serves to guide the player about the controls and get to know the features of the console. You can watch trailers here:

Players even though they don't have a Steam Deck can also experience playing Apeture Desk Job as it will also be available for download by anyone with a Windows PC and controller.

The mini-game will be free to download for all Steam users and will be available on March 1, 2022.
