Valve has significantly increased the price of the Steam Deck — but now, it’s also in stock. The 512GB Steam Deck OLED now costs $789, up from $549, while the 1TB model costs $949, up from $649. As I write this, both models are available to buy on Steam with an estimated delivery date of three to five business days.
The company says the price increase is because of “rising memory and storage costs.” Nothing about the Steam Deck has changed, but “these new prices reflect the current state of component costs and other global logistical challenges across the industry as a whole. We’ll keep you updated if anything changes.”
Some refurbished Steam Deck models are also currently available, including the 512GB OLED model at $629 and the 1TB OLED model at $759.
In February, updated the Steam Deck’s store listing to say that the handheld gaming PC would be out of stock “intermittently in some regions due to memory and storage shortages.” Memory and storage shortages have also created hurdles for Valve’s planned launches of the Steam Machine and Steam Frame; the company originally wanted to launch those in early 2026, but due to the shortages, it now it expects to ship them at some point this year.
Valve did launch the Steam Controller, which it announced alongside the Machine and the Frame late last year, on May 4th.
