Title: Steam Deck Price Increase 2026
Post by: BLUEVOODU on May 28, 2026, 09:05:31 AM
I don't know if anyone has been watching... but I missed it until recent times.  The Steam Deck has jumped $200 for each model... now $749 for the 512GB OLED and $949 for the 1TB OLED models.  Ouch.  We knew this was coming and we are going to continue to see this trend.  RAM and Disk have both been called out with RAM quadrupling in price... and disk not far off that mark.

@CreepinDeth and I have posted price increase topics:
