　　Now Playing: Valve's Steam Deck - First Impressions

　　The Steam Deck was originally planned to be released in December, but Valve delayed the launch, citing component and manufacturing snafus caused by global supply chain issues. There are 64GB ($399), 256GB ($529), and 512GB ($649) models, with some additional perks coming with the pricier models (such as an anti-glare etched screen on the 512GB model, and a Steam Community bundle for the top two models).

　　For lots more, check out GameSpot's guide to everything you need to know about the Steam Deck. You can also watch the video above to get our first impressions of the device.
