Gaming Company Value has announced that its handheld console Steam Deck will sell on February 25th. The impressive gaming console will be taking on the Nintendo Switch spec for spec. Due to its limited supply and the ongoing chip storage, only customers with reservations would buy the console.

It’s nice to have a sale date, as the device which was announced in July 2021 with a December shipment has been delayed by almost 2 months. This is a result of shortage problems and the current supply chain challenges. The company says that customers with reservations would receive an email on the 25th, and will have up to 3 days to make an order. Orders placed on that day would start shipping on the 28th to customers.

This handheld is running the newest version of Steam Os, at the front is a 7-inch 1280 x 800 touchscreen for 720p gameplay. It also has the typical ABXY buttons, two shoulder triggers on each side and four buttons at the back. Unlike the Switch, it has a D-pad, and native Bluetooth audio.

The other connectivity ports that ships with the Steam Deck include full-fledged USB-C ports for HDMI, Ethernet, Standard Bluetooth and USB data.
