Valve Hikes Steam Deck Prices

The price of the Steam Deck OLED has jumped by nearly £200 in the UK, a move that has stunned many in the gaming community.

Valve stated that while the hardware remains unchanged, the current global supply chain environment has made the original pricing unsustainable.

This increase marks a sharp departure from the company's previous strategy of aggressive price competition.

Industry analysts suggest the hike may signal the end of the 'golden era' of affordable high-performance handheld gaming devices.
