Developers patiently waiting to get their hands-on the new Steam Deck handheld games console unveiled by Valve earlier this year, will be pleased to know that Valve has announced the Steam Deck developer kits are now ready to ship to those developers wanting to optimize their games for the new portable games console. During the development of the Steam deck Valve partnered with AMD to create a custom APU taking the form of a Zen 2 + RDNA 2 optimized for handheld gaming, “delivering more than enough performance to run the latest AAA games in a very efficient power envelope” says Valve.
