Steam Deck gets a major price bump, more than 40% increase for US buyers

With very little in the way of announcement, Valve has today increased the price of the Steam Deck but some fairly considerable margins. Both of the available models, the 512GB and 1TB OLED systems, have seen an increase. You can find an overview of these changes below:
  • 512GB OLED
    • UK: £479 ➜ £649 (35% Increase)
    • EU: €569 ➜ €779 (36% Increase)
    • US: $549 ➜ $789 (43% Increase)
  • 1TB OLED
    • UK: £569 ➜ £779 (36% Increase)
    • EU: €679 ➜ €919 (35% Increase)
    • US: $649 ➜ $949 (46% Increase)
Unlike the recently announced changes to the cost of the Switch 2, these prices have already come into effect, delivering a serious blow to the value the Steam Deck previously offered. With the Steam Machine still on the docket for this year, it remains to be seen just how expensive it will end up being.

If anybody knows the before and after for Europe by all means shoot me a reply and I'll add it to the main post for a complete picture. With there being no formal press release I can find it's hard to get the numbers for a region I'm not in.

Nah.. Gabe is in this too.

He was after all trying to get Musk to get Kojima a tour of Open AI.

And Kojima is doing an AI movie.

So.. yeah.. might want to start looking at your idols before you *general you.. Not you in particular Catboy* start trying to pull republican level mental gymnastics.

Well I was saving for a 1tb oled model but I ain't paying nearly £800 for one, wanted one mainly for older stuff and emulation on a handheld (hence the 1tb model as wanted lots of storage).

Guess I'll put the money towards something else, either a different handheld PC or just stick with things I currently have and spend the money on something else, like a new TV or something.

If older games and emulation are your aim, I'd suggest looking into an Android handheld. Something with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 or newer would easily handle emulation up to Switch, and can also run PC games via apps like GameNative. You'll likely see better battery life from decent handhelds when compared to what an x86 system could offer.
