Valve raises Steam Deck prices by more than $200

The 512GB Steam Deck OLED is priced at $789, up from $549, and the 1TB model is priced at $949, up from $649. Both models are available to purchase on Steam with an estimated delivery window of three to five business days. Refurbished Steam Deck OLED models are also available, including the 512GB model for $629 and the 1TB model for $759. In February, the Steam Deck store listing indicated intermittent out-of-stock status in some regions due to memory and storage shortages. Those shortages also affected planned launches of the Steam Machine and Steam Frame, shifting their expected shipping timeline to some point this year. Other companies have also raised prices, including Lenovo’s Legion Go 2 and announced increases for PlayStation and Switch 2.

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."

"RAMageddon hasn't just hit Valve. In April, Lenovo increased the price of the Legion Go 2 by hundreds of dollars, and Sony and Nintendo have announced price jumps for the PlayStation and Switch 2."
