Valve Unveils Limited Edition White OLED Steam Deck

While Valve isn’t rolling out a full-fledged successor to the Steam Deck just yet, they’ve got something exciting up their sleeves. Their renowned handheld gaming device is getting a stylish makeover with the launch of a limited edition Steam Deck OLED in a sleek white color.

This new edition, aptly named the “Steam Deck OLED: Limited Edition White,” matches the technical specifics of the current 1TB model. However, it’s priced slightly higher at $679, up by $30. Mark your calendars because this sleek model will be available starting Monday, November 18.

Accompanying the new look, the Limited Edition White version also includes a white carrying case and a handy microfiber cleaning cloth. Valve has ventured into unique color schemes before, like the previous smoky translucent edition, which was a hit despite some aesthetic flaws. This time, the striking white device will be distributed globally, reaching markets including the US, Canada, the UK, Europe, Australia, and in parts of Asia through Komodo.

To keep things fair and discourage scalpers, Valve is allowing only one white Steam Deck per account. Furthermore, your account needs at least one purchase before November 2024 to qualify.

Valve expressed their excitement about the launch in a press statement, sharing that feedback from this release will guide their future decisions on color variants. If you’re not sold on the limited edition but like the idea of a fresh look, companies like Jsaux and dbrand offer alternative backplates and skins for a customized touch. But if you want to snag the official version, act fast before they run out!

Looking ahead, Valve is teasing more than just new colors. They hint at ongoing efforts for future Steam Deck developments and other potential hardware innovations, keeping enthusiasts on their toes. From the sneak peeks, the white Deck gives off a nostalgic Wii U meets an iPod vibe—intrigued to see if it might entice current users to upgrade their devices.
