  • Valve has warned that the Steam Deck may be out of stock intermittently due to memory and storage shortages.
  • The more affordable Steam Deck LCD model is no longer in production and will only be available until stocks run out.
  • RAM and storage component shortages are widespread, caused by high demand from the AI industry.

  • There’s a possibility that the final release of Steam Machine and Steam Frame VR headset could come with higher pricing due to supply constraints.
