Patience is a advantage, as by some means it’s nonetheless tough to discover a PlayStation 5 some two years after launch. But fortuitously, for those who’re available in the market for a Steam Deck, there’s not any must chase after a far-off pre-order: Valve is now delivery them proper after buy. No ready, no queues, no $5 reservations. What’s extra, it’s additionally promoting an official Docking Station now.

Valve introduced the better ordering and new Docking Station accent’s availability by way of Twitter and Steam. On prime of that, Valve introduced “lots and lots” of software program updates for SteamOS, which it says will dramatically enhance the docking expertise. The keyboard is getting an replace too, as is offline mode. (The latter ought to assist mitigate a standard ache level for Steam Deck customers, as many Steam video games require on-line connectivity for authentication.)

You can try the information in Valve’s announcement video right here:

The official Steam Deck Docking Station will set you again $89. And although there exist a couple of third-party docks, a few of that are cheaper, Valve’s Docking Station will hopefully set a brand new normal for connectivity. For instance, JSAUX’s extra affordably-priced dock comes with USB 2.0 ports, whereas all of the USB-A ports on Valve’s dock are model 3.1. It additionally provides gigabit Ethernet connectivity, which can enormously assist with downloading massive video games. DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.0 ports are current, which can enable the Steam Deck to output to a number of screens with a selection of 4K 60Hz or 1440p 120Hz alongside the same old FreeSync assist.

While I’ll be curious to see if the official Docking Station suits with go-to peripherals like the Deckmate, the upcoming enhancements to the keyboard are very welcome. I’ve discovered the keyboard to be just a little finicky, so it’s nice to see Valve making the expertise of typing on both the touchscreen or the touchpads a bit extra dependable. The keyboard can also be anticipated to get further language assist, with Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean quickly to be added.

Valve was gentle on particulars in the case of enhancements to Offline Mode, nonetheless. This mode mainly does what you’d anticipate, but it surely hasn’t been the Deck’s finest function. As many customers have identified, an unreliable offline mode kinda kills the portability of one thing just like the Deck. Such issues don’t simply plague multiplayer video games; many customers have discovered points with single-player video games too, and heaven assist you if the sport has Denuvo. As if we wanted one more reason to be irritated on the infamously irksome DRM software program.

But a finicky offline mode is merely a bump within the in any other case fun-as-hell street that’s been the Steam Deck expertise to this point. Good to see Valve’s ironing out the kinks in manufacturing.
