Valve has raised Steam Deck prices substantially, with the 512GB OLED model increasing $240 to $789 and the 1TB OLED model rising $300 to $949. Both models are now in stock with 3-5 business day delivery estimates. Valve attributed the price increases to 'rising memory and storage costs' and said the new prices 'reflect the current state of component costs and other global logistical challenges across the industry.' No hardware changes were made to the devices. Refurbished models remain available at lower prices: $629 for 512GB OLED and $759 for 1TB OLED. In February, Valve had warned of intermittent stock shortages due to memory and storage component shortages, which have also affected planned Steam Machine and Steam Frame launches.
