While Steam Deck owners may still have a bit of a wait until they lay their hands on the officially supported Steam Deck dock themselves, Valve is using its ꦍown dock hardware❀ whilst exhibiting at Tokyo Game Show.

Though not for sale, they're being used to demonstrate games at Japan's big gaming show, and Steam Deck fans have caught sight of the units and are sharing pictures 🌳on the subreddit forum, drawing particular attention to the ports on the back of the docking systems.

The post included a wonderfully clear shot of the back, which ap❀pears to show some USB-B ports, an Ethernet port, HDMI port, and ꦐa USB-C port which seems to be powering the system.

It's caused a little consternation with fans who were hoping for more USB-C ports, but on the plus side, ꧃using the docks in public like this hopefully means the dock may go on sale sooner rather than later. Let's watch thi🌱s space, eh?

Don't forget that Valveౠ is still inviting players to w🌳ishlist the dock if they're interested in buying one, so head on over to the if you've yet to do so.

Valve confirmed in June that its official Steam Deck docking station had been delayed indefinitely due to production issues.

The company said that the delay was "due to parts shortages and COVID closures at our manufacturing facilities", although those parts shortages would not affect the manufacturing of the Steam Deck units ൩themselves. Valve previously said it hoped to have the official dock available in late🐲 spring, but it seems that plan won't come to fruition.

Valve said that regardless of the delays, "the team is continuing to work on improving the docked experience for Steam Deck with all USB-C hubs and external displays" and while the official ꦜdock won't be coming out anytime soon, you can already enjoy th💜at functionality with any number of generic USB-C docks, many of which offer HDMI output, allowing you to connect your Steam Deck to a TV, Nintendo Switch-style.
