Steam Deck OLED Stock Issues: Memory Shortage Hits!
17 Feb
Summary
- Steam Deck OLED intermittently out of stock globally.
- Memory and storage shortages are causing supply chain disruptions.
- Valve also delayed new hardware launches due to component crunch.
The popular Steam Deck OLED is currently experiencing intermittent stockouts in various regions, a situation attributed to ongoing memory and storage shortages. Valve has updated its official website to reflect these availability challenges, acknowledging the global impact of the component crunch.
This hardware scarcity has prompted Valve to delay the launch of its previously announced Steam Machine, Steam Frame, and Steam Controller. Originally slated for an early 2026 release, these new devices will now target a launch sometime within the first half of 2026 as Valve works to stabilize pricing and production amidst volatile supply conditions. Additionally, Valve has ceased production of the 256GB LCD Steam Deck model.
