The Steam Deck OLED model sold out in North America within 24 hours of its relaunch at a higher price point, despite the significant price increase. While still available in Europe, Australia, and Asia through partner Komodo, the device's rapid sell-out suggests strong continued demand. The shortage may persist due to component constraints and Valve's focus on preparing for the upcoming Steam Machine launch.
Background
The Steam Deck is Valve's handheld gaming PC that runs on SteamOS, competing with devices like the Nintendo Switch. It was first released in 2022 and has seen strong demand since launch.
