<\/figure>\n Patience is a virtue, as somehow it is still difficult to find a PlayStation 5 some two years after launch. But fortunately, if you\u2019re in the market for a Steam Deck, there\u2019s no longer any need to chase after a far-off pre-order: Valve is now shipping them right after purchase. No waiting, no queues, no $5 reservations. What\u2019s more, it\u2019s also selling an official Docking Station now.<\/p>\n Valve announced the easier ordering and new Docking Station accessory\u2019s availability via Twitter<\/a><\/span> and Steam<\/span>. On top of that, Valve announced \u201clots and lots\u201d of software updates for SteamOS, which it says will dramatically improve the docking experience. The keyboard is getting an update too, as is offline mode. (The latter should help mitigate a common pain point for Steam Deck users, as many Steam games require online connectivity for authentication.) <\/p>\n You can check out the news in Valve\u2019s announcement video here: <\/p>\n
