This should save time and internet traffic for users.Īt this time, the function only works in the direction of PC > PC or PC > Steam Deck. In this way, you can not only transfer entire games, but also update them without having to download them from the Steam servers. This allows Steam users to install games directly from one PC to another over a local network, without having to download and install from the internet. Hello! We've just shipped a Beta update to Steam and Steam Deck that includes a new feature: Local Network Game Transfers. The update is available in the new Steam Deck beta and Steam.
From now on, they can copy PC games over a local network to the portable console instead of downloading them again. Luckily, there are fully compatible third-party docking stations for Steam Deck available to the public, and considering how well designed some of these models are, Valve would’ve had more success with the docking station if it had partnered up with some of those third-party manufacturers.Valve has added a new feature to Steam Deck, which will be especially useful for those users who have slow internet. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for the Steam Deck docking station since its official hardware was indefinitely delayed a few months back, without any word on when it might become available. And with more Steam Decks rolling off the production line, it would seem that the company’s efforts bore fruit. The company initially started sending reservation emails twice a week in April, followed by a statement in June in which the company said it would be doubling the number of handheld PC shipped per week. All new reservations will go into the now-vacant Q4 delivery queue, ranging from October to the end of December until the queue for 2022 fills up, and all reservations made afterward will continue to spill over to Q1 2023 and subsequent quarters.Īdmittedly, despite the initial hardships in their supply chains, Valve has continually increased its shipments since the handheld’s launch.
All the customers that were previously in the Q4 delivery window or later have been moved up to Q3, meaning they can expect their Deck to arrive anytime between July and the end of September. Everyone who is currently in Valve’s reservation queue is likely to receive their Steam Deck by the year’s end.
