Valve is giving away roughly 150 Steam Decks during The Game Awards 2022, the Steam platform-maker announced in a new blog post.
Registration for the giveaway is open now, with the only requirements being that your Steam account is in good standing, you’ve made a purchase at some point between November 2021 and now, and you live in one of the eligible countries – the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and basically anywhere you can normally buy a Steam Deck.
Entrants can sign into their Steam account and head to the contest page, then click the “Register” button to submit their names for a chance to win. Valve said winners may be announced via their Steam user name on The Game Awards live and in the Steam chat during the show. One Steam Deck will be given away every minute during the two-and-a-half-hour show.
Valve didn’t say which variety of the Steam Deck is up for grabs in the giveaway, though, and made no disclosures about prize value to help deduce which one it might be.
The giveaway comes not long after Valve announced you can finally buy a Steam Deck with no reservation, following nearly a year of product shortages and manufacturing backlog.
