Epic Games CEO Throws Shade at Valve Over the Steam Deck Price Hike

Valve raised prices on several Steam Deck models, with the 1TB version increasing by as much as $300.

Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney publicly mocked the move and took aim at Valve and Gabe Newell.

Sweeney implied the price hike could be tied to Newell’s yacht-related interests.

The spat underscores ongoing tension between two major PC gaming rivals and a notable price jump for the handheld device.
