Steam Deck Drops To $296 For Limited Time, Right After PS5 Pro Reveal

As a seasoned gamer with years of handheld gaming devices under my belt, I must say that the current Steam Deck sale is a dream come true! The discounted LCD models are just too good to pass up, especially since they’re being phased out for the OLED version.


Currently, it might be an excellent opportunity to purchase a Steam Deck, as both LCD models have significantly reduced prices throughout most of this month. The 64GB Steam Deck is now selling for $296.65, representing a savings of more than $50 from its original price. Meanwhile, the 512GB version can be had for $336.75, offering a discount of over $110 compared to its usual cost.

  • Steam Deck LCD 64GB model — $296.65 ($349)
  • Steam Deck LCD 512GB model — $336.75 ($449)

Valve indicates that the time-limited offers on their two Steam Deck models will continue until 10 AM Pacific Time or 1 PM Eastern Time on September 26. Notably, these LCD versions, along with the non-discounted 256GB model, are being discontinued. This is due to the arrival of the Steam Deck OLED last year, which boasts a superior screen and battery life.

Currently, you can expand your gaming collection with titles such as Beyond a Steel Sky and Chorus. This offer is part of a larger “Fantical Bundle Festival” taking place this week, allowing gamers to grow their PC game libraries at an exceptionally low price, typically costing less than a dollar per game.

Simultaneously, it appears that Phil Spencer, head of Microsoft’s Gaming division, is interested in developing an Xbox portable device. This could potentially be a rival to the Steam Deck. In contrast, Sony has recently revealed the upcoming $700 PS5 Pro, slated for release in November.
