The Steam Deck Just Went On Sale And Is Killing The Competition On Price

The Steam Deck has maintained price stability over the past three years and will be available at a 20 percent discount during the 2025 fall Steam sale, starting September 22. The discounted price of the 0 LCD model positions it as a competitive alternative to other gaming devices, including the Nintendo Switch, which has recently increased in price. The discount coincides with the Steam Autumn Sale from September 29 to October 6 and may assist Valve in inventory management as it phases out older models. The 256GB LCD model's price is comparable to refurbished units that are currently out of stock, while the 512GB OLED and 1TB OLED models remain at their original prices. Other platforms, such as Xbox and PS5, have been increasing prices. The gaming market is evolving with speculation about future devices like the anticipated Switch 2, and competition in the PC gaming handheld sector is increasing, highlighted by the upcoming Xbox Ally Rog and the high-priced Legion Go 2, which is facing supply issues. Currently, there are an estimated 5 to 7 million Steam Decks in circulation, making it the best-selling portable gaming device outside of Nintendo's offerings.
