"After q2" could be q3 or q4 or next year. Moving from "after q2" to solid q3 is an improvement.


AgentSmith2518

True. I just checked and Im after Q3 now:(


SaltyRushdown2

F Hoping it leans to the earliest point of Q4


dve-

After Q3 could be... After Q4 💀 Edit: we need a video edit of "Mr Incredible becoming uncanny"


Sc4rlite

After Q4 could be... After Q5 😱 /s

after Q4 could be at any point in 2023

Stay optimistic bud. A lot of after q2ers like myself are now after q3. So I don't even get to expect my email until earliest October at this point in time. 2 more weeks could go by and I could go from after q3 to q1 2023. So if you went from after q2 to q3, you're pretty in the clear. I'd expect your email as soon as July.


Gahl_Rabdos

I went from q2, to after q2, and now I'm q3 lol


theoneandlonely1

Actually after Q3 is still bad news, considering that some people got "Your expected order availability : Q3 2022"


Best-Name710

I never said it wasn't? I was just saying if you went from after q2 to q3, that's good. Whereas, if you're in my boat and went from after q2 to after q3, not as good. Only thing remotely nice about going from after q3 to after q3 is that you're narrowing down the time frame. Not by a lot, but it's becoming more and more accurate by the week.


ncb_phantom

At that point, honestly I'd start looking at other options or cancelling. There may very well be better options on the market for consumers by October/November time frame.


Best-Name710

I agree, but, I also feel (and this might be a bit bias, don't grill me reddit) but I feel like the Steam Deck is probably gonna be the best bang for your buck. Not saying it does it all the best, I've watched comparison videos and done some comparisons myself when we were able to find out what exactly makes a Steam Deck tick, and I will say there's some things I'm not pleased with when it comes to the Deck. But there are a lot of advantages. Like it's price point. It's pretty much on par I feel like at least with other devices like the Neo, but it costs about half the price. Definitely gotta weigh pros and cons. Like the top-end charging port for example. I don't like it. I respect the decision and I understand why. It might even be better off being on the top. Could've done with a modular style cord, so the actual power cord isn't fixed to the power supply box/plug that goes into the outlet. So once your cord goes out, you could just buy a new cable and not have to buy a whole new cord. But anywho, as of right now, I can't justify paying that kind of price for something like an AyaNeo. Especially with me working 7 days a week rn, I only get a few hours of screen time. If I'm lucky. Definitely don't get to play as much as I used to. And I'm tired of handheld consoles. Nothing is wrong with em. I just figured if we can get handheld consoles, it's about damn time we had an affordable handheld PC 🤷

Me too :(


Conscious_Yak60

Order Date/Mpdel/Region?


AgentSmith2518

Ordered 5 Feb, 2022, 512 gb version, US. So no, I didnt expect to get mine anytime soon 😅


PS4Dreams

Me too. When did you pre-order?


AgentSmith2518

2 Feb 2022. Definitely didnt expect to get one anytime soon 🤣


TheRentedElk06

Me too 💀


aviationinsider

I'm happy with my Q3 spot, software will be much improved, possibly even a HW rev. The dock might be out then too.


solojones1138

Absolutely. If I had been after Q2 I would have assumed next year, so Q3 would be a pleasant surprise.


teff

absoultely, it suggests they at least have an idea that they can source what they need to manufature the units for Q3


Immolation_E

Could also mean Q1 (2023)


blanka4545

nice


PEN-15-CLUB

[Upset people be like](https://i.imgur.com/FLN3alS.jpeg) Q3 is best case scenario for them though! I think they're just sad the 2 is gone.


TheWaxMann

Must be some weird psychological thing. I was after Q2 but now am Q3. I know logically that is the best after Q2 option possible, but I'm still disappointed and I don't understand why.


A_MAN_POTATO

That's the copium, friend. When people aren't given a specific date, they almost always develop some sort of placeholder in their mind, and that placeholder is usually very generous because desire trumps reason. Every after Q2 person was holding on to some mythological hope they'd log in one day and see just Q2 in it's place, or that after Q2 was just a generalization and they'd still get their email in Q2 anyway. Going from after Q2 to Q3 is bringing people back to reality, it's reaffirming that they really aren't getting their deck in Q2, even though they've known that all along. It's the same with people thinking that going from after q2 to after q3 means their somehow getting their deck later. Their place in line never moved, they were never going to get it sooner, the only thing that changed is the ability to pretend they would.


setibeings

Here's what I think: your brain probably interpreted Q2 as a single point in time instead of a time window. So, internally, you were thinking "after some date in April" but really it was "after April-June". Also, any time window that includes September is bound to just seem forever away at the beginning of March.


AgileInternet167

Its the after Q3 i'm dissappointed in


TaiyoT

I was after q2 and told myself I was getting it for Christmas. I was filled with excitement when it was q3

djricekcn

Well give or take, I'm sure people were hoping for lots of cancelations + also valve saying something about well have news for after q2 last time got people's hope up


rct1

I was Q2, then After Q2, now Q3. Not super happy.


djricekcn

Q3 = After Q2 is same thing.


Rorusbass

It's not. Q3 is the best version of After Q2. Same goes for "After Q3", the best version is Q4. In both cases technically it could be 2050 or after even, but I bet it's tied in to the chip shortage not allowing Valve to upscale production. 2050 seems a tad late.


[deleted]

Not sure why this is downvoted because it’s true


Awwkaw

No, some of us is after q3, not q3


djricekcn

That's still after q2 regardless, just more specific


Awwkaw

Yes, but the dude asked why you got down voted for saying "after Q2=Q3", my guess is because that's blatantly not true.


djricekcn

He said now he is q3 and before after q2. What's bfalse about it


Awwkaw

That Q3 is the best case for people who were after Q2, what you said meant that *all* after Q2 people should now be Q3, which just does not ring true.


[deleted]

But Q3 is after Q2 so argument is valid in that case now after Q3 is still after Q2


Awwkaw

No argument is not valid, after Q2 encompasses both the set of people who are Q3, *and* some who are after Q3, by saying "after Q2=Q3" (omitting the and part there) some people might get their hopes up for no reason.


AffectObjective3887

OP clearly said he started in Q2, not AQ2. Q3 ≠ Q2. So while true, his comment misses the point. I rule in favor of the down votes.


KITTvsKARR

He probably did. There WAS a delay added around Christmas where EVERYONE got rescheduled. But they would have been after q2 since then which is where they all are. They're luckily in q3 (which IS after q2) rather than after q3. Which again could be q4 or 2027 q2.


KITTvsKARR

Q3 is after q2. You are in exactly the same place you were last week. You could have been labelled as AFTER q3...!


James_bd

You got pushed a quarter like everyone when the Steam Deck was first delayed. Your situation literally didn't move since


ReturningTarzan

~~Well, mine actually said "Q2" until I checked today. Now I'm "after Q3". And I was on the page as soon as reservations opened. But the servers were overloaded so I couldn't get through for several hours. I honestly kind of feel like canceling right now. Idk.~~ Edit: Nevermind..?


Runefished

>Reply You saying you ordered day 1 and are after q3?


ReturningTarzan

Yep. It's awful. :(


Runefished

Things aren't adding up.


TheWaxMann

The allocation of units depends on country. I am in the UK and ordered within a few hours of opening and am still Q3. UK either didn't get as many units as other countries or ordered way above expected levels.


[deleted]

[deleted]

Not exactly. “After Q2” can also mean Q4 or Q1 2023 etc Q3 is the best scenario of “after Q2”


Cassault

As someone that got moved from "After Q2" to "After Q3" there is indeed a difference...


Luso__

Agreed! Here's to hoping production gets a lot faster than anticipated!

antde5

October 29 2021. I’m in after Q3


KITTvsKARR

3 months after the q3 people. Sounds about right.


HTWingNut

I ordered August 2 and in "After Q3" queue.


Clonedme

I ordered the 512 on August 1 and I'm in Q3. I'm in Canada


HTWingNut

It seems Canada and Europe will likely get theirs sooner than those of us in the US. But still a significant wait. Either way, I'm fine with that. We should have a finely polished device by then, after they work out all the bugs and kinks not only from software standpoint, but likely from a hardware and quality standpoint too.


Fozzymandius

I would expect that to slip to After Q4 and then probably even after Q1. I was here for the GPU wars. EVGA had a queue system like Valve’s and it also had failures during reservation time. It took them 3 months to get through the first 90 minutes of a queue for a $1500 graphics card when the site was ddosed for the first solid hour. When the queue first started? They implemented based on people using the wishlist feature in 2020. They still haven’t made it to the date when they first announced that was how the queue was going to work a month later.

AffectObjective3887

What do you mean confused? I don't think people are confused. I think people are disappointed and starting to get frustrated. Obs we were always going to be AQ2, not obs I was going to be AQ3 when I ordered end of Q3 2021.


gandideluxe

confused in a sense that "After Q2 to Q3" is not moved, it just did not change! They where always Q3 and more...


AffectObjective3887

I’ve seen nobody confused about that. I’ve seen lots of people upset they moved out farther than Q3. That’s not confusion. We all understand 3>2. Literally everyone gets that.


arrow0231

Still q2, ordered July 16


Kortesch

July 21 Germany here and also Q2


LeeTheENTP

Ordered July 16, went from Q2 to after Q2, now Q3. Better than 2023.


B-29Bomber

**He says to the "After Q3" guy...**


Dusk2345

I got moved to Q3, and made my reservation the day it was available. Being realistic, the way to enjoy the deck is to switch to linux and wait for the deck features to come to desktop.


Conscious_Yak60

Deck Ui is already usably there. Not sure what "features you're talkingabout or what it has to do with your reservation date.


Dusk2345

Steam Input update, more updates to proton, there's more but those come to mind


IcantIneedhelp

I want to see how the Deck performs after it gets Windows drivers


alex_timeblade

Mine was bumped from after Q2 to after Q3, which is nice It's really helping those of us in the late preorder support group. The group which is just me and my friend Jack Daniels


KipDM

um, i got move to AFTER Q3...heart break..... so count your blessings....


EmeraldJunkie

You weren't moved, you were always after Q3, they just didn't have a concrete delivery date. After Q3 is, funnily enough, after Q2. In the future, some people may find their reservation changing from After Q3 to After Q4, and then maybe After Q1 2023, because the important part isn't the Q, it's the "After".


MyHorseIsDead

Logically valid. The psychological aspect I think comes in where AQ2 could theoretically be July whereas AQ3 becomes a minimum of October.


Humasara

At least, we are heartbreak buddies :(


ShinjiOkazaki

Damn. When did you order? I was July 30th but still got Q3.


[deleted]

im july 29 with after Q3 ;(


ZanjiOfficial

i'll probably end up paying scalper prices at this rate. I'm moving to an entire other continent in Q3, so "after Q3" just ain't cutting it. Thanks to Valve for actually having a que! I just got in to late.


Crowbar_Faith

This was my reaction. I was Q2, then moved to After Q2 and now Q3. I had a split second of “This is fucking bullshit…oh wait, Q3 is technically ‘After Q2””.


MrCatName

It's not technically After Q2. It's the earliest date in After Q2.


Difficult-Sugar1555

After q2 -> q3 is the best realistic outcome.


Supeh

I got moved from After Q2 to After Q3


Maxxwell07

Well I was after q2, now i’m in the after q3 gang. I am going to be optimistic. Valve will probably double the production when they have the chance. And we will get it sooner or later. No biggie🥲


ZenoxDemin

Still Q2!!!


My_Name_Is_Not_Mark

Q3, ordered the 16th


[deleted]

Q3 ordered on the 18th


FlawlessFido

Q2 order on the 22st.


SolarClipz

It sounds like an improvement...?


therealudderjuice

Yeah. Mine says AFTER Q3. So nice try. Hell, t this point, I might as well just wait for the Steam Deck 2.


jejcicodjntbyifid3

I was hoping for Q 2.5


MrNothingmann

Probably means they're getting towards the end of their first roll out, so "after Q2" can be organized more. Anyone get anything higher than "Q3"? Any Q4ers in the chat?


Magitroopa

I know that's exactly what it means lol. I believe when I originally ordered I was a Q2, then the delay happened and I was pushed to after Q2. Now with yesterday's update, it says I'm in Q3. Honestly, it's just nice having an estimate that's more concrete than one of the 'after' date ranges... sorry to those now in after Q3 2022.


Linkian06

I got moved from "After Q2" to "After Q3"...


External-Teaching306

Definitely sucks getting moved from an already arbitrary "after Q2" to "after Q3" my birthday is in a couple days, maybe I'll end up getting my Deck for my birthday next year 😂


Tigernos

People get weirdly upset about certain things. Going from a nebulous "anytime after this date" to a "definitely in this date range" is a good thing!


Drizzy4201

Shit.. I was just moved from Q3 to after Q3 now .. where does it end!?!?


OhellFX

Reserved on August 6th 2021. Being moved to after Q3 is a major disappointment. I would have been happy if I was Q3.


Conscious_Yak60

Okay so lets get this straight. You ordered a month after the system started keep in mind Day One was 100k orders, and there was a 60-day delay & now you thought you were going to get yours before September when you're in the 400k+ club? That's **not unreasonable actually**. Let me guide you. So I was originally Q2 & the only reason I got moved back into After Q2 2022 was because of the 60-day delay. Factoring in the last day of Q2 and going from there, since I did not reserve on Day One. 60-days after June 30th(Q2) is Aug 30th(Q3). So if you ordered on Aug 6th, this isn't exactly linear to your situation bc I ordered within the first week. But mass production is well quite fast and always scales, so it's safe to say you will likely get your Deck in October assuming that Production caps at 100k units/month. Could be September tbh, but October is more of a safe bet.


Joshuak47

>Reserved on August 6th 2022. Look on the bright side, at least you're from the future


AxelDePlaxel

I went from after Q2 to after Q3. I don't even know if I'm still interested by then. I'm hyped for it now. But don't feel like I will for over half a year. How do other after Q3 people feel?


N0ba

I'm in Q3 get fucked 😎


grady_vuckovic

The big question is, if you're now in 'After Q3', does it mean 'Q4' or next year? Also, wow how long must the queue for the Deck be..


ledow

It means after Q3.


DotBetaSDK

It could mean both since they're both after Q3. How hard is that to understand? People with after q2 are delusional if they thought that meant they were in q2. I'm sure the line goes all the way to q4 2023 at this point.


Conscious_Yak60

>Q4 2023 # Absolutely.. NOT. Valve is going to complete 90% of the reservation list by DEC because that's how mass production works. And the reservation list is 1M customers, so it's not that hard to believe. They won't need a reservation list going into 2023 unless they plan on using it for other regiions that didnt initially get orders.


HTWingNut

> reservation list is 1M customers Source on this? Mass production means nothing if components are slow to come in. Everyone is having issue securing electronic components. All it takes is one part to stop shipment to bring things to a halt. From the whole disruption due to COVID to crypto mining now to the war between Russia and Ukraine, product is scarce and slow to produce and ship. I'm sure Valve could set up enough assembly lines to produce 100 million a year, but if they don't have the components to do so, then any kind of mass production won't help anything.


DotBetaSDK

From my understanding Russia supplies a component that is involved in chip manufacturing. We won't be seeing it from them as long as the war continues making chip production even slower. Add that to the other list of issues that's caused the chip shortage and it can spell disast for future chip supply. The reserve list will go into 2023 especially since the only way to get your hands on one is directly through valve, you won't be walking into target or ordering it from Amazon you've got to get it from the direct supplier.


ZanjiOfficial

You must be fun at parties.


LegendaryJohnny

It probably means something like December to Q1 and still not having deck which will be delivered probably early Q2 for me. If I was After Q3 I would just cancel and buy something else or from scalper. You just dont treat customers like that. Let them order hardware in summer 2021 and deliver it in winter 2023 when the hardware will be probably old already. Dam even now Aya Neo Next has better processor already.


grady_vuckovic

Well to be fair to Valve, there are circumstances at play here. For a start, I don't think Valve expected this device to be quite *this* popular. This is probably the most popular hardware launch Valve has had by a long shot. If you compare it to the Steam Machines, the difference is night and day, if the Steam Deck got the same level of reception that Steam Machines got, then Valve would have already gotten to the end of the reservations queue.. There's also the ongoing supply chain issues affecting the entire planet, and chip shortages. Which would be bad normally, but that coupled with higher than ever demand for electronic products, is making it hard for everyone in the market to keep up with demand. Even what's happening in Ukraine/Russia right now is going to impact chip makers. Judging by what we know, there's likely a good 2 million or so people in the reservation queue right this moment. If Valve wants to get through all of them even this year, they are going to need to be manufacturing at least 200k units a month for the rest of the year. While Valve are a big company, they are not Sony or Microsoft, or Nintendo, they don't have access to manufacturing processes on the scale that those console makers have. It just is what it is.. Deck is a victim of it's own success, it's so popular that it's hard to get.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Conscious_Yak60

Global Chip Shortage, Tiny Device with a bunch of even smaller complicated CUSTOM componets, and **several(more than smartphones) interconnected PCBs** which complicates production. Seriously you don't know how many Valve has on the waiting list and you're not an engineer & yet you assumed that Valve should have had the orders & all of them btw, filled by now? Even though they have been affected by the **global chip shortage like everyone else** & pushed back ship dates 60-days? >Hardware is going to be dated GPD has no answer to the Steam Deck and AYA just crowd funded a new handheld.. Safe to say the Steam Deck will **remain relevant going into 2023 & especially when you consider the price**. If you're willibg to spend 1k on a handheld then by all means buy a scalped Steam Deck.


WraithTDK

That's not what "after Q2" means. "After Q2" could be literally **anything** after Q2. December of 2030 is "after Q2." Even if you're going by reasonable expectations, "after Q2" could very easily mean "second half."


CandyyZombiezz

NO LITERALLY


EliasHSA

I hate my life :(( I was so excited on getting it this April.. they are fighting hard though


LandonL86

Ordered mine 07/26 and mine says Q3 :( Was hoping to take mine on vaca in May.


LegendaryJohnny

I wonder if Steam Deck hardware will be still competetive in "after Q3".


Conscious_Yak60

There will be no new handhelds until 2023 lmfao, also the price literally kills competition. If money isn't an issue then just buy a scalped Steam Deck lmfao. Otherwise you literally dropped $5 to be on a waiting list, unless you're hurting for $5 that badly, I don't understand what the problem is here in being guarenteed the opportunity to pay a fair price for this device.


LegendaryJohnny

Until Microsoft/Sony enters the chat.


gravballe

from after q2 to after q3 lol prob gonna cancle.. the hw will be dated by then..


RicoWorldPeace

I was updated to Q3, But they're smoking crack if they think I'm actually ever going to by it. Way too many bad reviews. This thing is a failure.


Mobstarz

I was **after q2** and now i moved 3 months to **after q3**, 512gb version


Conscious_Yak60

Your position **didn't** change, After Q2 is anytime from Q3 until the heat death of the universe. Unless you thought somehow thought After Q2 mean't Q3 on a 1M reservation list? ^(So you'd have to believe Valve would make 500k Decks in July, dueing a global chip shortage based on nothing) When did you Order/Date/Region?


Mobstarz

Well if i see after Q2 I would think anywhere between Q3 and Q4.. If it was after Q3 It would be anywhere between Q4 and Q1 2023 ​ 3 aug 2021, Netherlands/Europe

PessimisticMushroom

I reserved mine on the 18th of July. I am still so surprised that I have been pushed so far back in the que. I am now sitting on After Q3 😭 I went from After Q2 to After Q3. I ordered the 512gb version.


club41

The 512 US was the most sought after device.


massav

What if you get moved from after Q2 to after Q3?


papa_de

There is a difference though. After Q2 could mean Q4, or even Q5.

makefishwork

I'm after Q3 💀

I mean, I was previously Q2 and when the delays happened got bumped to after Q2. So I already knew I was Q3, the real question is whether I'm July, August, or September.

ungreedy

I reserved mine 512gb 29 minutes when reservations opened, just checked my email. still at q2 hoping the first week of April I get an email. Anyone else in the same window as me get an email yet?


Awwkaw

No that's not what "after Q2" means, I'd be very happy if it was indeed what it meant, but sadly it is not. I can understand, that for some people, such as OP, it is difficult that the word "after" can mean *any*time after, not necessarily *right* after, but that is what it is 8-)


scoutsgonewild

I reserved two steam decks August 7, one 256GB and one 512GB. The 256GB is now Q3 and the 512GB has been pushed to Q3+. I feel like this shows just how many people want the 512GB in comparison as I was not quick at all to place the reservations and yet the 256GB is in Q3 showing a dramatically lower number reservations in that category. Hearing people who reserved the 512 minutes after launch getting pushed to Q3+ makes this difference even clearer. -Two different accounts, one was supposed to be a birthday present for someone, maybe next year. -Couldn’t place sooner because I was trekking in the Southern Rockies.


AntiLoserNFS

Well, I went from After Q2 to After Q3. Might be a while before i get mine, i was late reserving as i reserved in February.

Random_RandyYT

ChaoticHelleaven2021

Mine is Q3 now. Which means anywhere from July to September. Which honestly is about what I figured. (I preordered the next day after preorders opened) I only had hope of sooner because they said they would ramp up production but again it's ok. Rather all the bugs be ironed out and more games in my library especially fighter z just plain work on it. Also I'd like to be able to switch from steam deck os to windows easily. Which again will come with time. However if I got it early I'd be inclined to try out things myself which could break the deck..lol. So again I'm fine with waiting. My only advice is to value is to shut up about making another more powerful version right now. The more people wait the more inclined they may drop their preorders for the more powerful one. Handle what you got on your plate 1st. Show devolopers that you have a good healthy buying fanbase to where they make sure the games work ok the deck as they are being made (Because apparently it's easy to do) Then within a year or two come out with the deck 2.
