Valve is hitting the brakes on the SteamDeck's shipping schedule and pricing! The gaming giant announced a necessary revisit for both the SteamDeck's shipment timeline and its cost.
This decision comes as Valve grapples with the ongoing global memory and storage shortages. These supply chain challenges are impacting the production and affordability of their new hardware.
Initially revealed in November, the SteamDeck was slated to ship in early 2026. Valve had targeted a price point under $1000 for the indexed full kit.
The SteamDeck's companion, the SteamDeck, was also intended to be a competitive option against building a similar PC. However, the current market conditions necessitate a strategic re-evaluation.
