Steam Deck OLED sells out in North America after price hike

Valve's Steam Deck OLED sold out in the US and Canada less than 24 hours after renewed availability at a higher price. The device reached the top of Steam's Top Sellers list based on revenue. Availability continues in Europe, Australia, and parts of Asia.

Valve announced renewed availability of the Steam Deck OLED at a massively increased MSRP. Within 24 hours the handheld was listed as out of stock in the United States and Canada, according to spot checks reported on May 28. Sales were strong enough to place the device at the top of Steam's revenue-based Top Sellers ranking for the prior 24 hours.
