"We are very sorry, as we did everything possible to avoid the widespread problems in the supply chain but, due to the shortage of materials, our factories are not receiving the components on time to meet the initially scheduled release dates," the company explained in a statement.
According to their indications, shipments of the Steam Deck console will begin in February 2022 as planned, and products will be shipped in the order of reservation, which remains despite this delay.
