Overview
- Valve added a notice to the Steam Deck store page saying the OLED model may be out of stock intermittently in some regions due to memory and storage shortages.
- All three models are currently listed as sold out on the U.S. store, while some regions such as the UK and Australia still show availability.
- Valve confirmed the 256GB LCD Steam Deck is no longer in production and will not return once remaining units sell through.
- Earlier this month Valve delayed announcing firm pricing and dates for the Steam Machine, Steam Frame, and Steam Controller because component prices have spiked.
- Reporting ties the squeeze to AI data centers driving DRAM and NAND demand, with analysts warning of broader effects including a later PS6 window and pressure on Switch 2 pricing; restock timing for Steam Deck units remains uncertain, with a late‑February replenishment suggested by distributor Komodo but not confirmed by Valve.
