Overview
- Valve added a notice to the Steam Deck page stating the OLED models may be out of stock intermittently due to memory and storage shortages.
- All three configurations show as unavailable in many markets on the Steam Store, with some ordering still possible in parts of Asia such as Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.
- The 256GB LCD Steam Deck is no longer in production and has sold through in multiple regions, leaving only OLED versions when inventory returns.
- Valve says component constraints have also clouded pricing and launch timing for upcoming hardware including the Steam Machine and Steam Frame/VR.
- Industry trackers report steep DRAM price increases tied to AI buildouts, and reporting indicates major vendors have 2026 capacity largely allocated, signaling prolonged supply pressure.
