Christmas is sorted with the Steam Deck officially launching in Australia
Pricing starts at $649, arriving in November.

Valve originally launched the Steam Deck in North America back in December of 2021, but it never saw an official Australian release. Sure, you could import it through retailers like Kogan or Amazon, but it wasn't an official Aussie launch.
That has officially changed. Valve has confirmed that the Steam Deck is launching in Australia in November, with pricing starting at just $649.
In an interview with Shannon Grixti at Press Start, Steam Deck Designer Lawrence Yang explained that the delay in launching in Australia was due to entirely boring logistical reasons.
