PC/Mobile Valve raises Steam Deck prices

[Demon_Skeith]

Valve has significantly increased the price of the Steam Deck — but now, it’s also in stock. The 512GB Steam Deck OLED now costs $789, up from $549, while the 1TB model costs $949, up from $649. As I write this, both models are available to buy on Steam with an estimated delivery date of three to five business days.

The company says the price increase is because of “rising memory and storage costs.” Nothing about the Steam Deck has changed, but “these new prices reflect the current state of component costs and other global logistical challenges across the industry as a whole. We’ll keep you updated if anything changes.”

Some refurbished Steam Deck models are also currently available, including the 512GB OLED model at $629 and the 1TB OLED model at $759.

Not worth it now with the new price. With that spec imo

I feel more poor people will not buy the Steamdeck for $789 because $789 is a lot of money to poor people.

Why did you have to put the emphasis on "poor people"?

I used poor people as an example of people who are now less likely to buy the Steamdeck because poor people can have a harder time saving $789 for the 512 GB version of the Steamdeck. It may take them many months to years to save $789 for a Steamdeck if they make less money per months like $100 per month.

These are dark times for all gamers, unless you already have a decent computer. I prefer to game on a console or desktop anyways, I'm not really big into handheld gaming anymore but it sucks electronics just keep going up.
