So we made a book about Steam Deck! In preparation for Steam Deck launching in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, we wanted to introduce our new customers to Valve, Steam, and Steam Deck. So we made a small book – it’s about 50 pages, and we’ve translated it into Japanese, Korean, Traditional Chinese, and English. The book includes: [list] [*] Background on Valve and our philosophy around creating products and hardware to make our customers happy [*] An overview of Steam, how it came to be, and where it is now [*] The story of Steam Deck, how we designed it, and why we built it the way we did [*] Information about our collaboration with Komodo to launch in these new regions [*] Tons of pretty pictures of Steam Deck, prototypes, games, and more [/list] We wrote, designed, and translated this book in-house, and now we’re making it available for everyone to download. It's available on [url=https://www.valvesoftware.com/en/publications][b]Valve's publications page[/b][/url], or you can download it directly from the links below.
