Valve announced on the 28th that the Steam Deck OLED will be restocked, and the prices for two models will be increased by over 40%.
The Steam Deck 512GB model has been adjusted from its previous price of $549 (approximately ₩825,696) to $789 (approximately ₩1,186,656), marking a 43% increase. The 1TB model, previously priced at $649 (approximately ₩976,096), will now cost $949 (approximately ₩1,427,296), a 46% hike. Both models were out of stock for some time, but sales have now resumed in select countries, including the United States.
Valve stated via its Steam Community page, "There are no changes to the Steam Deck itself; the prices have been newly adjusted to reflect current component costs and global logistics across the industry," adding, "We will continue to provide updates as changes occur." This is likely due to rising memory prices and the impact of the US-Iran conflict, leading to speculation that future Steam Machines will also carry significantly higher price tags.
Hardware manufacturers have been increasing prices across the board recently. Nintendo raised the price of the Nintendo Switch, and the Nintendo Switch 2 is also set to see a price increase starting September 1st. Sony increased PS5 prices by 27%, the PS5 Digital Edition by 43%, and the PS5 Pro by 16%. Xbox has also seen two price hikes overseas, with the X model of the Xbox Series X/S now priced at $649.99 (approximately ₩977,584), up $150 from its launch price, and the S model at $399.99 (approximately ₩601,584), up $100.

Meanwhile, Comodo, the official distributor of the Steam Deck OLED model, has yet to announce a price increase. Comodo had previously raised the prices of both the Steam Deck 512GB and 1TB models by ₩59,000 in March. All Steam Deck models remain out of stock in South Korea, and it's anticipated that prices may rise when the products are restocked.

밸브(Valve)가 28일 스팀 덱 OLED 재입고 소식과 함께 모델 2종의 가격을 40% 이상 인상한다고 발표했다.
스팀 덱 512GB 모델은 기존 549달러(한화 약 82만 5,696원)에서 43% 인상된 789달러(한화 약 118만 6,656원)로 변경됐다. 1TB 모델은 기존 649달러(한화 약 97만 6,096원)에서 46% 오른 949달러(한화 약 142만 7,296원)로 책정됐다. 두 모델 모두 한동안 품절 상태였으나, 현재 미국을 포함한 일부 국가에서 판매가 재개됐다.
밸브는 스팀 커뮤니티 페이지를 통해 "스팀 덱 자체에는 변경 사항이 없으며 현재 부품 비용과 전 세계 업계 전반의 물류 상황을 반영하기 위해 가격이 새롭게 조정됐다”라며, “변경 사항이 있을 경우 계속해서 업데이트해 드리겠다"고 밝혔다. 메모리 가격 상승 및 미국·이란 전쟁의 영향으로 풀이되며, 향후 출시가 예정된 스팀 머신의 가격 역시 상당히 높게 책정될 것으로 추측된다.
최근 하드웨어 제조사들의 가격 인상이 이어지고 있다. 닌텐도는 닌텐도 스위치 가격을 인상했으며, 닌텐도 스위치 2 가격도 오는 9월 1일부터 오를 예정이다. 소니도 PS5는 27%, PS5 디지털 에디션은 43%, PS5 Pro는 16% 가격을 인상했다. Xbox 역시 해외에서 두 차례 가격을 인상해 Xbox 시리즈 X/S 중 X 모델은 출시가 대비 150달러 오른 649.99달러(한화 약 97만 7,584원), S 모델은 100달러 오른 399.99달러(한화 약 60만 1,584원)로 조정됐다.

한편 스팀 덱 OLED 모델 공식 판매처 코모도는 아직 가격 인상을 발표하지 않았다. 코모도는 지난 3월 스팀 덱 512GB와 1TB 모델 가격을 모두 5만 9,000원 인상한 바 있다. 국내에서는 아직 스팀 덱 모든 모델이 품절 상태며, 상품 재입고 시점에서 가격이 오를 가능성도 점쳐진다.
