Valve originally said it planned to release the official docking station sometime this spring. <\/p>\n<p>The official Steam Deck docking station features three USB 3.1 ports, one HDMI 2.0 port, a DisplayPort 1.4, and a Gigabit Ethernet jack.  Valve has yet to share exactly how much the docking station will retail for and a new release window. <\/p>\n<p><output class=\"widget-container\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-862123036 slideshow-preview\">\n<p>Steam Deck Dock<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-862123036 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-862123036 hero-image\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-3681891219 aspect-ratio-container aspect-ratio-16-9\">\n<div class=\"jsx-3681891219 aspect-ratio-child\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-68457870 jsx-4243969252 images-list\"><button type=\"button\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-862123036 gallery-image\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-3681891219 aspect-ratio-container aspect-ratio-16-9\">\n<div class=\"jsx-3681891219 aspect-ratio-child\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2022\/04\/22\/steamdeckdockign2-1650623177761.jpg?ssl=1\" class=\"jsx-2920405963 progressive-image image jsx-294430442 rounded expand loading\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>2<!-- --> Images<\/p>\n<p><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/output><\/p>\n<p>While the docking station&#8217;s release has been pushed back again due to shortages and COVID-related issues, the company assured those that reserved a Steam Deck that the delay of the accessory has not impacted the production schedule and reservation windows of the Steam Deck. <\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"object-feedback\"\/>\n<p>The Steam Deck was released back in February, and Valve regularly updated the device.
