Here’s what your Steam Deck will look like when it arrives

The last time Valve made an announcement about the Steam Deck it was to confirm a delay into 2022 for the first batch of orders, but today we have something more cheerful to look at in the final packaging of the handheld PC.

“We’ve recently completed our DV (Design Validation) manufacturing build of Steam Deck, and we’ll be using these units for additional testing and developer kits. DV is the final prototype build before production, and it includes improvements from the EV2 build. After this build, there will be additional minor changes in the final product,” Valve writes in an update.

Part of moving to this more final version of the device is creating the packaging that consumers will be seeing once orders start to arrive in February 2022.

For a piece of electronics that is looking to shake up the world of gaming the packaging is rather plain with an unassuming brown cardboard box.

This isn’t really a big deal as the role of packaging in a retail sense is to draw the eye of customers to pick up the box and give it a look. As Valve is only selling these digitally a plain box like this is no big deal.

Flip the box open and you will find a bit more decoration with various languages stating where you could possibly play the Steam Deck, such as on the subway, in a tent and, of course, on the toilet. We’re pretty sure in a different language it even mentions a submarine.

The version of the packaging uploaded by Valve is the 64 GB or 256 GB version carrying case. The top of the line 512 GB case must look different, but no picture of this has been included in this announcement.

A power supply is also included in the box with region-specific compatible version provided depending on where the Steam Deck is purchased from. As the first wave of devices aren’t coming to South Africa we won’t need to worry about plug compatibility just yet.

As mentioned you can get a bit of the unboxing experience by looking at the gallery below, and you can dive even deeper into the handheld PC by checking out this teardown which was released in October.
