Explanation

This is a common misconception. The Increment must be in a 'Done', potentially releasable state at the end of every Sprint - but the decision to actually release it belongs to the Product Owner. The Product Owner may choose to release it, hold it, or combine it with future Increments before releasing. Scrum requires that the Increment is always in a deployable condition, but it does not require that deployment actually happens every Sprint.
