Valve Follows Switch 2, PS5 & Xbox With Major Steam Deck Price Hike

Valve sharply raised Steam Deck OLED prices, with the 512GB model jumping to $789 and the 1TB model to $949.

LCD Steam Decks and refurbished units remain the cheaper alternatives for buyers.

The move makes Valve’s handheld PC less competitive against Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft hardware.

The price hike also highlights ongoing cost pressure in gaming hardware and component supply.
