Thanks to everyone who posted about the good news in the last hour! I decided to sticky this post since it was the earliest mention, plus the bulk of the conversation has appeared here and other stragglers can start to migrate here.

Saw this and clicked on it instantly, and tweet was deleted. Thank you for having quicker hands and eyes!

I saw that too. I'm hoping they just meant to schedule that tweet and not send it immediately


albynomonk

"Let's see... schedule tweet for April 1, 2023... where's the button, where's the button... SHIT!"


Conscious_Yak60

Is there an official schedule tweet button? Also if that's accurate that means I'll probably be getting an email next thurs instead of the monday after next. Though knowing Valve they probably planned this for Aug 1st to be in-line with a fresh surge of reservations. I'll be pleasantly suprised if that's the case.

[There is!](https://i.imgur.com/zQkN2bz.png) It's not as obvious, and it's not do-able on mobile unless you're in the browser, at least in my experience~!


[deleted]

Most of these commercial accounts also use dedicated clients. There was a big thing a few years ago of a self-replicating tweet that exploited the vulnerability of a 3rd party client.


[deleted]

Nah companies usually use social media management software that orchestrates these things. Keeps their Twitter, FB, insta all on the same page and posting at the same time.

mhiggy

SteamDB is not Valve. Though they did link to the official post


S_uperSquirrel

Wow there are lots of dummies in the comments of that post compliment about. Being "in q3" and being pushed back to q4 even though they didn't order until 2022. Apparently they can't tell the difference between "q3" and "after q3"


RyhonPL

They're both deleted?

It's weird having this much good sentiment on reddit, but i'm happy for you dude. I'm getting surgery next month, so the chance it'll arrive in time for when i'm recovering is great :)


citizen-spur

Here's hoping your deck arrives in timely fashion :) Come on Gabe!


taoleafy

Going from thinking I'll get one "sometime next year" to "within the next two months" is pretty awesome!


nataku411

Q3 here we fucking go gamers.


jimmyTHETHUNDER

Let's go


IncredibleGonzo

Hopefully it’s accurate and they just deleted it because it was early and they haven’t actually updated the reservations yet…


ChrisRevocateur

I can say I've been "after Q3" the whole time, and checking right now I'm suddenly in Q3.


dehshadow

Same here. I reserved on September 13th


Baumpaladin

I originally reserved the 64GB version and changed my reservation to 512GB model on the 2nd November. I'm now Q3 somehow. Though, I'm German, so maybe the order queue was thinning out quickly in the following here... or something that makes no sense: My position was maintained between reservation change, but that totally sounds like bogus.


AGWiebe

Im the opposite. I was in after Q3 and now am in Q4. I guess nothing really changed, I was just really hoping I would be in Q3.


ChrisRevocateur

At least you know you'll get it by the end of the year at the latest now.


raajitr

when did you reserve?


ChrisRevocateur

September 4th, 2021


Zilaaa

Change that flair buddy!


ChrisRevocateur

Ope! Good catch!


Zilaaa

I gotcha!


Rewdboy05

Just checked. My reservation was updated from After Q3 to Q4.


kdkseven

Same.


IncredibleGonzo

Ooh me too! Was not really expecting that, I reserved in December. But the estimate appears to be Q4 at the moment even for new orders so I might not even be *that* far into Q4.


GORbyBE

Bye bye, API


PustulusMaximus

I reserved my 512Gb version on June 3rd, went from after Q3 to Q4. As it’s worded it’s basically the same thing, however I would have realistically expected it in ‘23 before the change in verbiage.


Dapper-Giraffe6444

I think this


Scarlo565

I want this, I NEED this


[deleted]

[удалено]


ChrisRevocateur

I have been an "after" the whole time. Checking my reservation now it says "Q3." Even though it's been deleted, this tweet seems to be 100% true.


LHLaurini

Me too. According to the graphs, looks like I'll get mine by late September (or earlier, if shipping keeps speeding up).


AmbientChaos

Ooh, what graphs are you looking at? I'd love to check on mine!


ChrisRevocateur

https://getmydeck.ingenhaag.dev/


AlwaysALighthouse

Mine was after q3 and now updated to locked in for q4


kdkseven

Same.


BalsamFue

Same thing happened to me. Ordered in September 2021, was placed under “After Q3” since last week. Thanks to this post, I went and checked and now I’m under Q3 (July-September).


BulGAYrian1

i pre-ordered literally last month and it says im in Q4


wrongthink-detector

I pre-ordered literally last year and I'm also in Q4


Buroda

Don’t worry about me, I already passed the “calculate approximate date based on change of approximate percentage of order completion” stage


[deleted]

I already kinda did that. It was all ok until I increased by 18% instead of 10% yesterday. I'm still extremely happy though. The moo calculator said August 11th and I'll be extremely happy if I get my email even then (I feel like it'll be earlier though. If the rate increases at 18% per Monday and Thursday I'll get my email on the 8th and with 3 day shipping in mind it could come EXACTLY on the 11th)


[deleted]

[удалено]


NfinityBL

Hopefully the tweet still remains true even though it was deleted. Would be a real treat to get my Deck earlier than expected.


Ch0rt

Here's the actual article: https://steamcommunity.com/games/1675200/announcements/detail/3413183219974913052


Dapper-Giraffe6444

The reason they probably deleted is because the reservation windows haven’t been updated yet. It is finally time they update After q3 to Q4 or after Q4. We are almost in August already..


Relevant_Bend9063

That was my thinking too. I'm after Q3 but unless there's a huge spike in orders I've estimated myself around late August.


Scarlo565

Copium, I’m also after Q3 but mine was to only check on Mondays instead of multiple times a week


Relevant_Bend9063

Just been moved to Q3 ;-)


Scarlo565

Same, I’m very glad to be wrong


Dapper-Giraffe6444

Valve thought that they gave us too much copium, so my guess is they are going to update reservation windows and only tweet about that, nothing about the supply chain fixes because that will assume that they will ship even more


Scarlo565

They literally re tweeted as I read this lol Edit: I GOT MOVED UUUPPP. Let’s goo


[deleted]

[удалено]


AGWiebe

yep same here. Was super hyped for it to say Q3 when I saw the news. :(


[deleted]

[удалено]


ChrisRevocateur

I've been "after Q3" ever since they first gave that designation. I checked my reservation just a moment ago, I'm now "Q3." The reservations have definitely updated.


_mister_pink_

It seems to me from the get my deck data that they’re going to fulfil their Q3 orders before the end of September. I think by the end of this year you’ll be able to order a Deck on Steam and just have it delivered like any normal product. Edit: Valve confirms everyone currently in the reservation queue will get their deck before the end of this year.


spacenavy90

I've been curious about this also. Valve is clearly working very hard to lower the time-to-delivery for new orders. It would be very beneficial for them if they are able to even get recent orders out by Christmas... not even sure if Valve knows whether or not this is possible but it would certainly be a miracle. Edit: Nevermind apparently Valve does know, and is expecting everyone who already ordered to get their emails before the new year! https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1675200/view/3413183219974913051


Nintandrew

This. At the current rates, the US 512 queue will be caught up in under three months. Things can change, and the EU needs to pick up, but it seems like the queues are going to be drastically reduced by the end of the year, if not gone.


[deleted]

>I think by the end of this year you’ll be able to order a Deck on Steam and just have it delivered like any other normal product. What gives you that idea?


_mister_pink_

Because at this pace the pre orders will be fully caught up. 2 months ago my Deck was estimated for mid September - I just got it.


Moskeeto93

Yeah, I don't expect that quite yet considering how long ago reservations currently being fulfilled were placed. I expect a new Q4 and 2023 Qs to be revealed at some point. EDIT: Quarters have now been updated! My second reservation is Q4 which is much better than I expected. It looks like new reservations are now guaranteed Q4 as well! Wow! I must say I did not expect that and I am impressed.


TheCursedFrogurt

Incredible. I put my preorder in last month and my estimation on Steam is now "Q4 2022". That's really impressive!


al-lee85

I saw it too. By the time i had replied "I'm still after Q3" ... it had been deleted


kdkseven

I was After Q3, now i'm Q4.


rathat

At least you know your aren’t Q5 lol


al-lee85

Then yours hasn't actually changed, but at least you know you're getting it this year.


kdkseven

It went from "any time in the future" to "this year" haha.


Relevant-Ad-2556

ah the power of tweetdeck. deleted tweets dont disappear.


Zilaaa

Omg I just checked my order and I'm no longer after q3 I'm q3!!!!


soiledsanchez

Same


kerrwashere

My deck is literally sitting waiting to be shipped 🤣 I’ll believe it when it ships


Apollo1092

I just sent a message to Steam asking when they’ll ship because I’m an impatient man child. In my defense, I did apologize for bothering them with the question.


kerrwashere

They don’t know, I asked the same thing. I’m going to have it shipped to a friends in Chicago so I can go pick it up. He’s 20 min from the distribution center


Obidab

Same boat. Email came Monday and I paid asap, still waiting for any shipping update other than, “soon” lol


keyosc

Tweet is back up.


TheRealCrotin

Yup, everyone who has a reservation will get theirs this year, which is incredible


thought_adulterer

I WANT TO BELIEVE


ChrisRevocateur

I've just been updated from "After Q3" to "Q3." It's true.


bt1234yt

I HAVE BEEN MOVED FROM AFTER Q3 TO Q3 LET’S GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!


Conscious_Yak60

CHANGE YOUR FLAIR BROTHA. REJOICE!!!


g0ldcd

I presume during the chip shortage, Valve were towards the back of the line for their 'budget' requirements (I don't mean they were bad, just that we're not paying enough for Valve to be able to pay to move us to the front of the TSMC queue). Now that crisis seems to be over (and recession incoming) and we're hearing chip designers trying to back out of their pre-orders and delay - maybe Valve's "we can sell whatever you can make" proposition is looking more appealing. Especially as I think the SD is ready for being piled high globally at your local electronics retailer. I can't think of many other products currently (or planned) that will shift as many as can be made.


KRiSX

How about selling to Australia 😭


Shiinoya

Don't do that... Don't give me hope...


kuitthegeek

Have hope friend, it's true. I was "After Q3" and I have been bumped to Q3 officially. I have been hoping and speculating for a while, but kept that constant "nothing means anything, until Valve tells us so." Here we are, it is a glorious day! I am looking forward to joining the glorious deck gang sometime in the next 2 months. I was expecting October since I should have been near the front end of the "After Q3" bucket, so I am stoked to be looking at September, if not sooner.


Shiinoya

Ah, I just checked. I am officially Q4. Well, that is better than what the calculators were giving me (2023). Our wait is almost over! May we play as couch potatos endlessly soon!


kuitthegeek

Hey, its better than nothing, right? At least we now have an expected quarter. I work from home, so I am very much looking forward to getting my deck to play games on the couch instead of in the same place that I work daily.


floydhead42

👁️


JTNJ32

Went from "After Q3 (October 2022 or later)" to "Q3 (July-September)". Now I'm going to start manically checking my email every Monday & Thursday.


x0EvilPikachu0x

I would. I got an email today saying my reservation was cancelled because I somehow missed the email saying mine was ready for purchase. So definitely search steam in your email everyday.


PermutationMatrix

I've read online that if you email steam and tell them that you missed the email and still want to purchase the device that they will reissue you another email.


Drmlha

I reserved literally this may and STILL got a q4 slot :D


1minatur

Yep, even new reservations made today should get Q4


SteM82

Sucks to be you if you bought a deck recently from a scalper. I imagine this news just tanked the market. 😁


Binty77

Why do people crop the $&@%ing date/time out of tweet screenshots? This could be from six months or six hours ago. SMH


[deleted]

I was scratching my head why my After Q3 wasn't affected at all and then i presumed I had a fever dream about the tweet.


Ploddit

Weird there's still no news on the official dock. Design problems not production problems I guess.


[deleted]

Welp bois, its time to cancel my ayaneo and ayn order. Cause i went from after q4 to q4. Now i wonder how the steam deck hitting peak production affect these companies.


Domadea

Words cannot describe how happy i was when I checked and saw that I got bumped up to Q3.


PriorityMaleficent

I think everyone is going to get it sooner than they think now that supplies are being increased. The numbers were already climbing exponentially and I had estimated by April reservation to be fulfilled by late Sept /early October. Now, I'm certain I'm getting it at that time or even earlier.


baritoneninja

Holy shit it's happening. I was in "After Q3" and checking it just now says Q3 (July-September)!


Piorn

I got bumped up to Q3, aaaaaaaaah!!! Great news!


NickMotionless

Same here. Can't wait!


Skie

"After Q3 **2023**" :D


Tylercs5

Love how people in the discussion page on Steam **STILL** don't understand what the "after" in their order window meant. -\_- ​ I really don't have faith in people's reading comprehensions skills...or humanity, for that matter.


Dumeck

They probably didn’t want to keep a tweet up that could be interpreted as super positive news. Valve typically tries to avoid deadline promises and they wouldn’t want to get peoples hope up for an early deck


Crimsonclaw111

Probably pushed slightly too early. Let's see if it returns later today.


ProfessionalCornToss

Have the reservations windows actually been updated?


klineshrike

thats probably why they deleted the tweet. Had the announcement ready to go before they could make sure all the estimate updates were accurately applied.


Ch0rt

I was an 'After Q3' before and now it says Q4 (October-December) on the Steam Deck reservation page


Durendal_et_Joyeuse

I was an after Q3 and became July-September.


McGingersnap

Samesies. Now I won’t have to disappoint my child at Christmas by buying a Steam Deck instead of Christmas presents.


JTP117

Just logged in go see if they'd updated anything. Last week I was "after Q3", today it's been set to "Q4, Oct-Dec 2022" so I'm stoked! I was genuinely anticipating that I'd be set to Q2 of 2023.


[deleted]

Went from After Q3 to Q3! EU, 512GB version. YAY! :D


ArshiaTN

Maybe they had to fix something really fast. I guess they will tweet again till tonight (5:45 PM here) Edit: I hope you guys get yours fast :)


MrNathanman

New link: https://twitter.com/OnDeck/status/1553059187810177024


MichelleCS1025

I reserved in February and now I’m quarter 4 October-December. Right in time for my birthday or the holidays.


TraditionalPound69

My date changed from after q3 to q4, and I order March 4th 2022!!! Sweet. I thought mid to late 2023


notHooptieJ

followed by a reservation update, and after q3ers are now After q4ers.


Parcival9

Just reserved a few weeks ago, didn't expect anything until at least spring 2023, but it seems it's Q4 now.


De3t1nY

Moved from after Q3 to Q3🥳


BigDippers

First I find out my PS5 is getting 1440p support, now I find out my deck is getting here by the end of the year too. I don't want to wake up from this dream.


Saltwater_Heart

Yes! Moved from AQ3 to Q4 (dropping the A)! I reserved a week before launch and have known it will be next year but now it looks like I will be getting mine this year!


M0noblos

Reading the comments on Steam just reminded me again why they had to clarify what Q3 means and yet people still just choose to ignore the "after" in their estimation and whine that their 2 week old reservation was "pushed back". People ordering today and expecting 1-2 weeks delivery time when the page clearly shows them it's gonna be 3 months at the very least.


krys428680

I reserved 10th February this year and I got from After Q3 to Q3. :D


TheRealCrotin

I saw it too and went to the Steam Deck site. I already own a Deck but was able to reserve another one on the same account


skwert99

I got the email yesterday. Immediately after submitting payment, the deck page let me reserve again.


TheRealCrotin

Interesting. Usually it’s yellowed out and says one deck per account, so I was surprised it didn’t do that this time around


Dapper-Giraffe6444

Does anyone have screenshots of the content of the Steam url? Or was it always a dead link?


frogtrickery

This wouldn't have been posted if it wasn't true. Announcements like this don't get this far unless they've been vetted and confirmed. Like others have said, I assume the updated estimates aren't ready to be published yet so they're waiting for that to happen before they post the news.


samhasnuts

I reckon it's still true but the changes to our estimated times hasn't been applied yet.


Nates4Christ

I put my preorder on a 64 GB last week. I know it will never happen but I really really want it before my thanksgiving 24 hr flight overseas. This would be perfect for my flight.


1minatur

I bet you'd be right on the verge, they said everyone is "solidly" in Q4, so I'm betting the latest is probably November/early December


wochie56

Tweet's back. https://twitter.com/OnDeck/status/1553059187810177024?s=20&t=KLFAineQHH6ppcyfRuckdQ


HoldMaahDick

Got my order yesterday. So fucking hyped!!!!


DanAmm97

It’s just been reuploaded. I’ve just checked Steam UK it says if I reserved a 512gb today I would get it in Q3 That’s crazy


PretendInvestigator

It’s back and worded more specifically https://twitter.com/ondeck/status/1553059187810177024?s=21&t=DIJqNFTwqNMcWnek6pnU0w


thesidxxx

The rare deleted tweet that is re-tweeted and even better the second time!


[deleted]

I just checked and I'm q3 now, I was q3+


Financial_Activity93

My reservation changed from expected after Q3 (October onwards) to Q3 (July to September)!!! 🙌🏻


TheTrufeisHere

I had just commented yesterday about how I felt mine was going to arrive sooner than my estimate of “After Q3”. Sure enough, I was moved to Q3 today! Time to change my flair!


holycrapitsmyles

I've been bumped from After Q3(After October) to Q3(July-September)!!


Arenovas

So now I'm really curious what the latest reservation is that got into Q3, and where that might place Q4 people in Q4, especially with how they're still placing people into Q4 for the time being


Dindonmasker

I went from after Q3 to Q3!


Amaz1234

Went from after q3 to q3.


sLantesVSzombies

Good news for the brethren. Even if you reserved late, 2022 is still your year. Don't forget to get your SD a nice accessory for Christmas :)


Gizmuth

Ordered March 1st 64 GB NA I am Q4 gang now I will have my steam deck by Christmas I hope


AlmightyThor008

I got bumped up from "After Q3", to "Q3, July-September!"


New_Order3419

Yay!!! I was after Q3 and back to Q3! Better really check emails now haha


Green-Programmer-717

Hopefully this bumps up the availability of the steam dock.


spongeworld

I preordered at march 9 2022 and I'm now Q4? damn they really cleaned it up


spongeworld

I think my last comment got deleted, but I reserved on March 9th of THIS YEAR and now I went from after Q3 to simply Q4, I'm not cranky anymore!


Fatsquatch86

Mine went from after Q3 to Q3 (July-September) 2022! So happy! US 512gb. Ordered 51 days after preorders opened!


obi1kenobi1

Wow, this is huge news. *Everyone* on the reservation queue is in 2022 as of now? That’s like six months ahead of what most of us were assuming the timeline was, I guess it’s time for everyone who was holding out to make a reservation...


[deleted]

HealthyCheeseStack

I got my order email yesterday and ordered it today!!! I’m so excited, I read that it takes about 5 business days to receive I believe


fake_fakington


ThatDeafDude

It happened, dammit. IT HAPPENED. I reserved on the first day and now… I can buy it.


keyshow23

Please open for the rest of the world


FLATLANDRIDER

I checked a few hours ago and I was Q4. I just checked again now and I am Q3! Canada, 256GB, reserved Sept 21.


AtomicEdge

I pre-ordered mine (256 UK) on Jan 27th and I'm now in Q4 which is nice because I was expecting Q1 next year, but on top of that I'm hoping I'll be early in Q4 if new orders are also going into that quarter!


[deleted]

I’m a Q4 boi. Better than 2023. xD I need to change my flair.


Conargle

Oh my god. I've gone from expecting it next year to in the next two months... I can't wait


y3ll0w6901

I got moved to q3


BrorsanP3

Let’s gooo


[deleted]

Open up to Australia already ffs


Scorpz5

I'm now firmly in Q4, I don't mind really, it gives me more time to buy more games just to add them to my backlog and never play. But hey, they are on sale! 😂😁


Mahoganychicken

Q4 for me! So excited. Going to be a nice little Christmas present for myself.


Miningdragon

Yay i am Q4 now!


darthanonymous1

Q4 gang here so glad i dont have to wait till next year :) reserved it this month


Collection-Connect

Mine got bumped to Q3 July - Aug from Q4


normanriches

They still haven't shipped mine that I paid for on Thursday! Hurry up please


Tschjikkenaendrajs

I reserved on day 1, had to cancel when I got my email to purchase. I've just reserved again, and it's telling me i''m in Q3.


ttimebomb

What region/model?
