Valve will be doubling the number of Steam Decks it ships to customers, the firm announced.

In a tweet from Steam Deck’s official account, Valve said the production of the Steam Deck had picked up, and the firm would be shipping over double the number of Steam Decks weekly.

Suppose you’ve been eagerly refreshing your inbox regularly for the chance to order your Steam Deck reservation. In that case, Valve’s increased production could be a sign that you might be able to buy your Steam Deck sooner than you expected. And if you are in that Q3 window, you should keep an eye on your inbox on June 30^th, 2022. Valve said the first Q3 order emails would go out then.

You will want to have a close eye out for that email, as Valve only gives you 72 hours to complete an order it’s sent out. If you do miss that window, though, Valve suggests you contact Steam Support—the firm recently clarified that it offered a grace period of a few days to place an order for the Steam Deck.

Valve’s Steam Deck has remained at the top of the Steam charts for 9 of the last 11 weeks, according to SteamDB. The Steam Deck starts at $399.
