Steam Deck: Håndholdt PC fra Valve

Konsolkongen>Det er lidt vildt at der ikke er mulighed for selv at installere en SSD i de maskiner senere :/

Hej bede_x
Udgivelsen af Steam Deck forsinkes med to måneder. Det beklager vi. Vi har gjort vores bedste for at komme udenom de globale forsyningskædeproblemer, men på grund af mangel på materialer, kan vi ikke få komponenter ud til vores produktionsanlæg i tide til at overholde de oprindelige udgivelsesdatoer.

Baseret på vores opdaterede produktionsestimater vil forsendelse af Steam Deck starte i februar 2022. Dette vil være den nye startdato for reservationskøen. Du beholder din plads i køen, men datoerne justeres derefter. Estimater for reservationsdatoer vil blive opdateret kort tid efter denne meddelelse.

Vi beklager endnu en gang, at vi ikke kan imødekomme den oprindelige forsendelsesdato. Vi vil fortsat arbejde på at forbedre reservationsdatoerne ud fra den nye tidsplan og holder dig opdateret undervejs.

Du kan se opdateret information om forventet tilgængelighed og ofte stillede spørgsmål på butikssiden for Steam Deck.

Venlig hilsen
Teamet hos Steam

Steam Deck udgives den 25. februar
Nu er det snart dagen! Den 25. februar begynder vi at sende de første bestillingsmails ud til reservationsindehavere. Kunder har 3 dage (72 timer) fra modtagelse af bestillingsmailen til at foretage deres køb, før reservationen frigives til den næste person i køen. De første enheder sendes afsted til kunderne fra d. 28., og vi regner med at sende nye bestillingsmails hver uge.

Derudover sender vi snart enheder ud til pressen til fuld evaluering. Der er presseembargo på dækning af Steam Deck indtil d. 25. februar, men hold øje med lidt forhåndsvisninger og indtryk inden da. I mellemtiden arbejder vi på at samle trådene og finpudse det sidste, og vi glæder os til at få enhederne ud til jer i slutningen af næste måned!


Yderligere oplysninger til de nysgerrige:
Vi begynder at sende invitationer ud kort efter kl. 19 d. 25. februar
Bestillingsmails sendes ud i den rækkefølge, reservationerne er foretaget
Man kan kun bestille den Steam Deck-model, man oprindeligt har reserveret
Reservationsdepositummet anvendes på den endelige pris på Steam Deck, og forsendelse er inkluderet

Hi all, Steam Deck launches in just two days! Thought we would send along some details for what you can expect on Friday, February 25th (snuppet fra Stea

Starting at 10am Pacific, we'll be sending emails out to the first batch of reservation holders via the address tied to their Steam account. Those folks will then have 72 hours to complete their purchase on Steam for the specific model they reserved. If they cancel or do not purchase in this time frame, we'll release their reservation to the next person in the queue.

Around the same time is when you'll start seeing coverage from the roughly 100 media outlets we sent early review units to, so there will be a ton of interesting content and coverage for everyone to check out.

We are also looking forward to getting the official Dock for Steam Deck into customers' hands. It won't be happening as early as we wanted, but we're excited to talk more about it soon and are planning to make them available in late spring.

In the meantime we can't wait to get folks playing on Steam Deck, and can't wait to hear what you think! Feel free to tag the official Steam Deck account on twitter (@OnDeck) to share your experience.

Steam Deck: Q1 Shipping Details
Hi!

Happy launch day! We’ve seen some questions about what it means to be in the Q1 reservation group, and when these folks will receive their emails. Here’s how it breaks down.
All people who are in the Q1 reservation window on the Steam Deck store page will receive an order email by the end of March. (Q1 is Quarter 1, or January through March).
The first batch of emails has already gone out this morning.
The next batch of emails will go out on Monday, March 7th. (It turns out the logistics work out better if we don’t try to ship over a weekend.)
We’ll continue sending emails to Q1 reservers in the order their reservations were made on a weekly basis through the end of March (March 14th, 21st, 28th)
In April, we’ll start going through the Q2 queue in a similar fashion.

We’re working through our production schedules, and will have news soon for folks in the After-Q2 bucket.

TERRARIA STEAM DECK CONTROLS

Beyond technical under the hood performance optimizations and such, what else do we mean when we say "optimizing Terraria for Steam Deck"? Well one area of focus has been controls.

When we sat down to enjoy Terraria on the Steam Deck for the first time, we immediately realized that we needed to make a few tweaks to fully take advantage of all that this new system has to offer. Above and beyond the default touch controls provided by Steam Deck (which we may look to improve on in the future), we put together the little graphic below to show you how we have optimized things for all of the controls available on the Steam Deck:



Left Trackpad
– This gives you access to a handful of often-used commands right at your fingertips:
* Up > Quick Heal
* Left > Quick Buff
* Right > Quick Mana
* Down > Mount/Dismount

Right Trackpad
– This provides the player with a manual cursor, akin to using a mouse or a trackpad on a laptop
* Pressing in the Right Trackpad acts as if you have pressed the Shift key on your keyboard

Back Buttons
– These will give you easy and ready access to all of your minimap and game window zoom options:
* Bottom Left > Minimap Zoom Out
* Bottom Right > Minimap Zoom In
* Top Left > World Zoom Out
* Top Right > World Zoom In

Battery Life
- We have done a handful of battery life tests on our development kit playing Terraria, and we find that we can typically get between 3.5 and 5.5 hours of playtime between charges – depending on brightness settings as well as the intensity of action in the game.

Obviously, Terraria is a game with a lot of possibilities in the way in which you can control things and in the demand for controls/buttons to get the job done. We are super happy to be able to take full advantage of the additional space on the control map provided by Steam Deck in order to help streamline your Terraria adventures and make controlling your character and world feel “just right”. Of course, all of these are just defaults that we think feel great - but everything is remappable in case you disagree and want to change things up!

Er med på, at Steamdeck er en PC og man kan rode med settings osv, men vil det sige, at feks Forza 5, kan skaleres i spillets / maskinens settings, så det kan køre henholdsvis graphics eller performance mode, ligesom på Series S/X? Og gælder det for alle andre spil også - at man kan fiddle med settings, og få 60fps som minimum, i understøttede Steamdeck spil?

Imponerende hvor godt Titanfall 2 kører.

Dunwich>Når du nævner last gen konsollerne, er det så bevidst, at du ikke nævner Xbox One X?

Steam Deck er en håndholdt. Er man utilfreds med dens grafiske formåen, ville jeg anbefale, at man holder sig fra håndholdte, for pris og form factor taget i betragtning, bliver det ikke bedre lige nu.
