Valve’s PlayStation Vita-killing Steam Deck finally has a launch date

If you managed to order one early enough, that is

It’s time we finally say goodbye to the handheld gaming device with the beautiful screen and all the games, the one that everyone was buying and could not be toppled in terms of sheer content and quality. The PlayStation Vita’s days were numbered when Valve announced the Steam Deck. Why would anyone own any other portable gaming device? The Steam Deck has all of the games now. All of them.

Today, Valve announced the release date of the Steam Deck and subsequently gave the date of the Vita’s funeral: February 25th. The Vita simply couldn’t hang any more.

For those that managed to snag a Steam Deck preorder early enough, Valve will issue email invites at 10AM on February 25th in the order they were first ordered. The portable will begin shipping on February 28th.

Anyways, rest in peace Vita.
