Valve to start selling the Steam Deck on Feb. 25

It looks like Valve's prediction for the late February release date is accurate. The company announced the Steam Deck would go on sale beginning February 25. Those who have reservations will receive an email on that day, and they'll be given three days to place an order. The company plans to release new batches weekly, so it's best to keep an eye on your email.

Those who place their orders on the 25th will have their units shipped out on the 28th. You can still reserve the Steam Deck for US$5 if you haven't yet. But prepare for a bit of wait. The Verge reported the order page currently says you can expect to order "after Q2 2022." 

Respawn plans to release 3 more 'Star Wars' games

You can expect three more Star Wars games to come out of Respawn Entertainment. EA announced that the studio behind Titanfall and Apex Legends is working on a follow-up to its 2019 hit Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, but it isn't known if it'll be a direct sequel. A first-shooter game in the pipeline is overseen by a former Star Wars Battlefront producer. And then there's a strategy game produced by Respawn in the works with Bit Reactor leading its development. That new third-party studio is headed up by Greg Foertsch, who previously worked on the XCOM series.

EA's exclusive license to develop and publish Star Wars games will expire next year. And it looks like it wants to churn out as much as it can before that happens.
