Valve Delays Steam Machine and Raises Steam Deck Prices

Valve has sharply raised U.S. Steam Deck OLED prices, with the 512GB model at $789 and the 1TB model at $949.

Refurbished Steam Deck units also cost more, as higher component prices and supply chain pressure continue to bite.

The price jump weakens the Steam Deck’s value appeal against rivals like the ROG Ally.

Valve’s delayed Steam Machine may also launch expensive if RAM shortages persist.
