The situation on the components market has also affected Valve.

Recently, gamers in the United States and Asia noticed that Steam Deck had disappeared from local stores. At the time, users suggested that the memory shortage had also affected Valve devices.

Now a new notice has appeared on the official Steam Deck page:

Valve added a comment on the supply situation:

Steam Deck OLED may be temporarily unavailable for purchase in some regions due to shortages of memory and storage drives.

The company also reminded users that production of the "Steam Deck LCD 256 GB" model has ended — the remaining stock is now being sold off.
