As a seasoned gamer with years of experience under my belt, I can’t help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation at the announcement of the white limited edition Steam Deck OLED 1TB. Being an avid collector of special edition gaming hardware, this new addition to my collection is definitely something I’m looking forward to.


Valve unveiled a special, white limited edition of the 1TB Steam Deck OLED handheld console. This device will be distributed in all regions where the Steam Deck has previously been sold. It’s worth noting that this is a unique release, and once the stock depletes, it’s unlikely to reappear again. Additionally, Valve seems to have taken steps to combat scalping activities.

White Steam Deck soon for sale

The white OLED Steam Deck will simultaneously debut worldwide on November 18th, 2024 at 3 p.m. Pacific Standard Time. Valve is manufacturing a special edition of this device, with the distribution being relative to each region. Some regions may receive a larger quantity of the white Steam Decks, while others might see a more restricted supply.

Regardless, Valve aims for a wide range of interested individuals to acquire the device. To facilitate this, some limitations have been implemented (keeping the original terminology).

To guarantee that a multitude of individuals who desire the Steam Deck OLED: Limited Edition White can acquire one, we’re imposing a limit of one per account for purchases. In order to make a purchase, your account needs to be in good standing and have previously made a transaction on Steam prior to November 2024.

The unique version of the Steam Deck OLED comes with a white-gray finish, accompanied by an accessory set that includes a case and a screen cleaning cloth in matching colors. The features will remain the same as those found in the standard 1 TB Steam Deck OLED, but due to its limited availability, this special edition will carry a higher price tag of $680.

In simpler terms, the special edition Steam Deck OLED won’t feature a bigger battery despite being a limited release. This could be a letdown considering the widespread popularity of Baldur’s Gate 3 on the Steam Deck, as reported by user Cromwelp. It’s worth noting that the total number of hours played for this game from Larian Studios on Steam Deck has surpassed 17 million, according to player statistics.

“Obtaining the white OLED Steam Deck might be one of the rare chances to acquire a product from Valve, as they are not currently working on Steam Deck 2 due to waiting for technology advancements – their aim is to develop a next-generation platform. However, it’s important to note that the device itself is still under development. Summer leaks hinted at the possibility of the Steam Deck supporting Android apps.
