Steam Deck OLED Prices to Rise in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan on March 6

Komodo blames higher logistics costs alongside currency swings.

Overview

  • In Japan, the 512GB Steam Deck OLED moves from ¥84,800 to ¥99,800 and the 1TB model from ¥99,800 to ¥114,800, increases of ¥15,000 per model.
  • South Korea’s new prices are ₩898,000 for 512GB and ₩1,048,000 for 1TB starting March 6, while Taiwan shifts to NT$18,980 and NT$22,480.
  • Komodo says Hong Kong pricing will remain unchanged, describing the local impact as relatively limited.
  • Valve’s storefront warns Steam Deck OLED may be out of stock intermittently in some regions due to memory and storage shortages, following recent sellouts in the U.S.
  • Coverage pegs the Japanese hikes at roughly $100 per model and notes the new figures sit closer to UK pricing than U.S. levels, with no price changes announced elsewhere.
