It’s not quite the Steam Deck 2, but Valve's new Steam Deck OLED is lighter, faster, and lasts far longer than the previous Steam Deck.
Valve is back on the Steam Deck design train, and the latest version of its handheld console is getting more than a new coat of paint. The studio’s newly revealed refreshed Steam Deck isn’t promising any better in-game performance, but the new deck is lighter, prettier, and more efficient thanks to a brand new OLED display. Closing on two years since the Steam Deck’s original February 2022 release, Valve has reengineered the Steam Deck to house a bigger screen and a new 1 TB SSD.
It’s still running on the same Zen2 processor, RDNA 2 GPU, and 16 GB of DDR5 RAM. Still, Valve said players can expect faster download speeds thanks to Wi-Fi 6E and access to the 6 GHz spectrum. All the older LCD models are dropping in price effective immediately, including the smallest, 64 GB version that now costs $349. The 256 GB Steam Deck with LCD had gone down to $399, even cheaper than the previous refurbished models.
