It definitely looks like Valve REALLY wants to get Steam Decks in everyone's hands by the end of the year! The production of the Steam Deck has outperformed their current estimates, which means some Q4 reservations have actually pushed up to Q3! This was confirmed on Twitter from Valve developer, Lawrence Yang:

This is fantastic news for all Deck preorders and it looks like they really will get them all out before the end of the year. He also mentioned that reservation windows will be changed on Steam before the next batch goes out on Thursday 8/25.
