Valve has increased the price of its Steam Deck OLED handheld gaming PC by more than $200 (about £150), marking a sharp shift in pricing for one of the most popular portable gaming devices on the market.

The 512GB model now costs $789 (£590), up from $549 (£411), while the 1TB version has risen to $949 (£710) from $649 (£485). The adjustment comes as the device remains readily available for purchase on Steam, with estimated delivery times of three to five business days, a notable contrast to earlier periods of intermittent stock shortages.
