Your Steam Deck might be coming by the end of September instead of Q4 - The Verge

Valve just announced that "a bunch of folks" should see their Steam Deck reservations moved up to Q3 instead of Q4. They should be able to purchase by the end of September, if not sooner.

Not only are you getting your Steam Deck by the end of the year, but you might also see your long-awaited handheld gaming PC even sooner than that — Valve has just announced that “a bunch of folks” should see their reservations moved up to Q3 instead of Q4, meaning they’ll get emailed an opportunity to purchase the $400-plus portable by the end of September, if not sooner.

It shouldn’t be much longer to wait after you get that email, either: Valve doesn’t send the emails until the systems are in-hand and ready to ship. If you log into Steam, you can check your reservation here.

Great news! We are making more Steam Decks than ever, and have just updated shipping window estimates for reservation holders. If you were previously in the Q4 (Oct-Dec) window, take a look - you might be in Q3 now!https://t.co/AcuGmUy8LN pic.twitter.com/KinXBnFMSb
