Curious if Valve is shipping now with just generic packaging. I remember getting my OG Steam Deck that it was very obvious the object in transit was a Steam Deck lol and I’m hoping they’ve done away with that system
Both my 512GB LCD late last year and the OLED this year came in the same basic brown box.
It does include battery flammable warnings that could indicate electronics inside. The shape is uniquely long, so you may be able to tell the item by box shape to some degree. There is a small “Easter egg” or two featuring the companion cube on the outside of the box that is subtle but confirms the contents.
UPS shipping tracker noted it required a signature, but we didn’t need to sign either time.
What is more generic than a brown cardboard box? The average porch pirate is taking whatever is on your porch - they’re not all, “look it has a companion cube on it, must be a steam deck.”
its in the same box shape like the OG so its easy to tell its Steam deck parcel.
does it have the same portal themed warnings on the outside?
If you know what to look for, otherwise it’s just a rectangular brown box.
…………
It’s a basic brown box, chill the f out
It has the steam deck logo on the box next to a lithium battery icon. It’s pretty clear what’s in it
What about the smell?
Last year i made my parents do it with my Steam account… lets just say i knew before it shipped
This is a problem. I feel like this needs to be fixed…
This is a problem… My wife doesn’t know I ordered one.
Her boyfriend will be happy.
Mine already saw the pull on the bank account. Lol. And wasn’t happy.
Same here. I ordered mine to my friend’s address, and I’m just going to swap it with an LCD one. The only downside is I’ll have to use an old case
All the people in these comments who have to justify spending their own money is lol.
Are you married? Lol
If you already have one, hide it and say it’s a replacement because it was faulty.
i mean tehnically, you can tell her its the same one just modded some stuff on it and got an update, that is if you had one before
How do people already have their OLED steam decks? Did Valve offer expedited shipping? Orders barely opened on Thursday, I’m genuinely surprised that anyone already has it as of today since I didn’t see any options to expedite.
I got mine yesterday. If you live in California they shipped them Friday and got there Saturday
If you live near their shipping hub, you get packages very quickly.
Where is it?
Got mine Friday morning. West Coast 🤗
I live in southern California and still just have the packaged messaging on my tracking details
I think I’m going to get mine this week, I’ll just give away my LCD deck to my father. He’s an old gamer by heart.
Just remember that until it is in your hands, you never got it.
Mines arriving Tuesday
Hope Evri isn’t your delivery provider
