Steam Deck Sells Out on Valve Store, Raising Shortage Concerns

Valve’s Steam Deck is currently sold out on the company’s official store. Shoppers first noticed the OLED models went out of stock late on February 10, and more than 12 hours later both the OLED and the older LCD versions remained unavailable; Valve stopped producing the LCD model in 2025.

The OLED Decks come in two capacities, 512 GB and 1 TB, and those were expected to be available for the foreseeable future. The handheld is reported sold out in Japan as well, with the store page there listing a restock in late February. Players and analysts worry this could signal a broader problem: PC parts and memory components are becoming harder to source and more expensive amid shortages tied to AI hyperscalers, and President Donald Trump’s trade wars are cited as an additional complication.

Reactions on social media mixed memes and frustration. “I was literally about to buy one today, I was even prepared to get the 1TB model too, but that is gone as well,” wrote one user on Reddit tracking the shortage.
