Valve hikes Steam Deck OLED prices due to rising component costs

By PulseAugur Editorial · [3 sources] ·

Valve has significantly increased the prices for its Steam Deck OLED models, citing rising memory and storage costs along with global logistical challenges. The 512GB version now costs $789, a $240 jump from its previous $549 price, while the 1TB model has climbed to $949, an increase of $300 from its prior $649 price. These price hikes place the Steam Deck OLED more in line with competing handheld gaming PCs like the Lenovo Legion Go and Asus ROG Xbox Ally X, potentially altering the value proposition of the product category.
