In the paper, we discuss convergence properties and Voronovskaja type theorem for bivariate $q$-Bernstein polynomials for a function analytic in the polydisc $D_{R_{1}}\times D_{R_{2}}=\{z\in C\colon \vert z\vert <R_{1}\} \times \{ z\in C\colon \vert z\vert <R_{1}\}$ for arbitrary fixed $q>1$. We give quantitative Voronovskaja type estimates for the bivariate $q$-Bernstein polynomials for $q>1$. In the univariate case the similar results were obtained by S. Ostrovska: $q$-Bernstein polynomials and their iterates. J. Approximation Theory 123 (2003), 232–255. and S. G. Gal: Approximation by Complex Bernstein and Convolution Type Operators.
