ORDER NOW: Starting November 16, the Steam Deck OLED is available for pre-order on Steam in three configurations: 512GB ($549), 1TB ($649), and a constrained edition 1TB Smoke and Translucent ($679).
Steam Deck Fans: There’s something fresh on the horizon and you can close yours now. Valve is making Steam Deck OLED available for pre-order today, a fresh and improved portable device. The newly announced technology, which was surprisingly revealed earlier this month, is available in three different configurations, and from November 16 you can choose the one you want by logging into Steam and going to the order page.
There are two standard editions to choose from: a $549 OLED option for 512GB and a $649 OLED option for 1TB, both of which are available for purchase now. However, a third option is also available in the form of a 1TB constrained edition in smoke and translucent for $670.
While anyone can pre-order both standard consoles, this special version is only available to gamers in the US and Canada. There are other conditions as well: Your Steam account must be in good standing and you must have purchased something using it before November 2023. If you meet these two criteria, you can purchase one OLED Steam Deck in this special configuration per eligible account. Valve has stated that quantities of this console will be constrained, so it’s worth a shot, but it’ll likely sell out quickly.
Still, there should be plenty of other models available that take what everyone loves about the Steam Deck and throw in a gorgeous fresh HDR OLED display. These features include an NVMe SSD, a 7.4-inch screen, Wi-FI 6E support, a battery that’s good for 3 to 12 hours of gameplay depending on what you’re playing, and a carry bag. The 1TB model also offers a few extra goodies, such as the Steam profile pack and the launch screen.
For PC gamers who love to enjoy their favorite titles from the comfort of their couch or bed, the OLED Steam Deck looks like a worthy upgrade. Just hurry if you don’t want to be left out (or miss out on the perfect Black Friday gaming gift).
