Valve has just announced a sweeping price hike for its OLED Steam Deck models worldwide, and the impact is already being felt in Australia.
According to the company, escalating costs for storage and memory—factors that have driven recent price jumps across the gaming industry, including the PlayStation 5—are the primary reason behind the new rates. If you’ve been waiting for a price drop on a Steam Deck OLED, you’ll need to adjust your expectations.
The 512‑GB and 1‑TB OLED variants now carry a price tag of $1,119 and $1,429, reflecting steep increases of 33% and 36% respectively. The 256‑GB model, however, remains unchanged for the time being.
Valve clarified on Steam that the Steam Deck’s hardware remains unchanged; the recent price adjustments simply mirror the rising costs of components and the broader supply‑chain disruptions affecting the entire gaming industry.
