An update to Valve’s handheld PC gaming system, a “Limited Edition” Steam Deck OLED, will be available next week. The new version ups the quality of the screen, the amount of battery, and the Wi-Fi capacity, plus a “6nm APU.” Starting at $549 for the 512GB storage version, the OLED Decks are available starting November 16, with “highly limited” quantities.
LCD models of the Steam Deck are also being phased out, with discounts on the 64GB and 512 GB versions while supplies last.
Valve claims the Steam Deck OLED will offer “brighter colors, blacker blacks,” with “amazing motion rendition,” shoring up one of the major nitpicks about the Deck’s launch version. The OLED model also touts 30–50 percent more battery life, weighs 30 g less than the original, and can download up to three times faster.
This is a developing story, and this post will be updated.
