Looking to purchase an OLED Steam Deck on release and noticed it will only be available in the US and Canada - I live in the US but will be visiting Japan when orders go live. Will I still be able to order?
Not sure if it’s something based on IP or if it solely depends on shipping address. To that end, will I need to use a VPN or something to get the US Steam page while abroad?
Thank you!
The US/Canada availability thing only applies to the “limited edition” model. If you’re not getting the limited edition, the OLED is available everywhere the regular Steam Deck is available in.
My apologies - I forgot to specify I am going for the limited edition. Updated the post!
Ah, I see.
I think you shouldn’t have any problem ordering, as long as you’re signed in to a Steam account that has its store region set to the US. I’m like 99% sure they go off of that rather than IP address.
