Valve has unveiled the Steam Deck OLED: Limited Edition White, set for release on November 18, 2024, adding a sleek, modern look to the popular handheld gaming console. The device’s white and gray color scheme, combined with an exclusive white carrying case and microfiber cloth, is designed to stand out as a fresh alternative to traditional custom skins or past limited editions, like last year’s smoky translucent model. Priced at $679 USD, this model retains the specs of the 1TB Steam Deck OLED, providing the same performance and storage but with a unique look that stands out.

Valve’s announcement emphasizes that this edition is truly limited.

As this is a limited edition release, we will not be making more of this particular design. Once we are sold out, we will be sold out. – Valve

Valve has proportionally distributed stock of the Limited Edition White Steam Deck OLED across regions like the US, Canada, UK, EU, Australia, and areas served by Komodo (Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong). Fans can purchase one unit per account, provided their account has made a prior Steam purchase before November 2024 and remains in good standing.

As part of Valve’s experiment with new designs, the white model follows last year’s smoky translucent version. Valve aims to gauge interest in different colorways to guide potential future releases. The team has expressed excitement over Steam Deck’s continued success and is committed to refining both hardware and software for future updates and innovations. For fans and collectors, the Limited Edition White model offers a fresh aesthetic twist on the popular handheld—one that may inform upcoming designs in the Steam Deck series.
