Valve is ramping up excitement for its popular Steam Deck handheld by introducing a new limited-edition model—the Steam Deck OLED in white. Set for a worldwide release on November 18, 2024, this special version comes in the high-end 1TB configuration, featuring the same powerful internal specs as the standard OLED model. Users can expect a vibrant 7.4-inch HDR OLED display, an AMD Zen 2 CPU, an AMD RDNA 2 GPU, and 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM, ensuring top-tier performance for handheld gaming.
While the internal hardware remains the same, the white edition’s appeal lies in its unique aesthetic and a few exclusive accessories. Valve is including a matching white carrying case and a cleaning cloth, perfect for keeping this limited-edition device looking pristine. Priced at $679, this premium version aims to attract collectors and gaming enthusiasts alike.
Availability, however, will be tight. Valve has stated that units are limited, with a cap of one device per purchase per account. Furthermore, buyers must have a Steam account created before November 2024 and maintain good standing to prevent scalping. The regional distribution may also affect availability, with larger stock expected in the U.S. than in the U.K. and EU markets. For fans hoping to secure one, the launch time—6PM EST on November 18—is worth marking on the calendar to avoid missing out on this exclusive release.
