Valve announced on the 28th that the Steam Deck OLED will be restocked, and the prices for two models will be increased by over 40%.

The Steam Deck 512GB model has been adjusted from its previous price of $549 (approximately ₩825,696) to $789 (approximately ₩1,186,656), marking a 43% increase. The 1TB model, previously priced at $649 (approximately ₩976,096), will now cost $949 (approximately ₩1,427,296), a 46% hike. Both models were out of stock for some time, but sales have now resumed in select countries, including the United States.

Valve stated via its Steam Community page, "There are no changes to the Steam Deck itself; the prices have been newly adjusted to reflect current component costs and global logistics across the industry," adding, "We will continue to provide updates as changes occur." This is likely due to rising memory prices and the impact of the US-Iran conflict, leading to speculation that future Steam Machines will also carry significantly higher price tags.

Hardware manufacturers have been increasing prices across the board recently. Nintendo raised the price of the Nintendo Switch, and the Nintendo Switch 2 is also set to see a price increase starting September 1st. Sony increased PS5 prices by 27%, the PS5 Digital Edition by 43%, and the PS5 Pro by 16%. Xbox has also seen two price hikes overseas, with the X model of the Xbox Series X/S now priced at $649.99 (approximately ₩977,584), up $150 from its launch price, and the S model at $399.99 (approximately ₩601,584), up $100.

Meanwhile, Comodo, the official distributor of the Steam Deck OLED model, has yet to announce a price increase. Comodo had previously raised the prices of both the Steam Deck 512GB and 1TB models by ₩59,000 in March. All Steam Deck models remain out of stock in South Korea, and it's anticipated that prices may rise when the products are restocked.
