Steam Deck OLED Re-released at a Higher Price Is It Still Worth It?

On May 28, 2026, Valve said the out-of-stock Steam Deck OLED was back in stock and back on sale, but the news came with a catch: the 512GB and 1TB models have both gone up sharply in price. Valve also restocked the official certified refurbished LCD models at the same time. For players who only spend a couple of turns on a handheld each weekend, the takeaway is simple: availability is better, but the entry price is worse.

The biggest numbers are impossible to miss. The base 512GB Steam Deck OLED has risen from $549 to $789, while the 1TB model has jumped from $649 to $949. Valve says the increase is down to rising memory and storage costs, plus broader component price pressure and global logistics challenges. That may be a familiar explanation, but it lands differently when you are the one deciding whether a portable PC is still worth the money.
