Valve has announced it is giving away a free Steam Deck handheld gaming PC every single minute on December 8th. With a likely runtime of 2.5 hours (last year’s ran three) the company’s probably going to be giving away at least 150 Steam Decks.
It’s the highest-end model with 512GB of solid state storage and the anti-glare screen, and all you have to do to win is sign into Steam here on December 8th and watch the show at Steam.TV or at Steam’s 2022 The Game Awards page.
That, and you also have to be living in the US, UK, Canada, and/or in the following EU countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Germany, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden.
The system will become available in Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Taiwan in late December, but unfortunately, not in time for the giveaway.
One more prerequisite: you have to have made a purchase on Steam between 12:00am GMT on Nov 14, 2021 and 11:59 pm GMT on Nov 14, 2022 to qualify.
The Steam Deck keeps getting better all the time, despite some lingering annoyances (like how you have to keep the system on, with a lit-up screen, to download games), so this giveaway promises to get people tuning in (as if you weren’t already).
