Valve is raising the price of the Steam Deck by up to $300, and blaming it on rising memory prices and "global logistical" issues. Today the company announced that the Steam Deck was back in stock, but with some ugly pricing updates. The Steam Deck OLED 512GB now costs $789, up from $549. The Steam Deck OLED 1TB model is $949, an increase from $649. Valve noted: “Steam Deck itself hasn't changed; 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.” The logistical challenges suggest the US-Iran conflict, which has led to rising oil prices, may have played a role in the price hike. Valve also cited “rising memory and storage costs” as a cause. The only positive sign is that Valve says it’ll fulfill orders within three to five business days; the gaming handheld has been largely out of stock since February.
