White Steam Deck Will Only Be Available While Supplies Last

After three years of anticipation, Valve has finally unveiled the much-awaited white version of the Steam Deck, fulfilling the dreams of fans who have been eagerly waiting since the prototype was showcased in 2021. The "Steam Deck OLED: Limited Edition White" is set to launch on November 18, 2024, at 3PM PST, marking a significant moment for gaming enthusiasts worldwide.

Priced at $679 USD, this limited edition will be available globally, including regions such as Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Australia, in addition to North America and Europe. Valve has confirmed that the white Steam Deck will be produced in limited quantities, with stock distributed proportionally across each region. To ensure fair distribution, purchases are limited to one unit per account, and buyers must have made a Steam purchase before November 2024 and maintain a good standing account. Valve has emphasized that this is a one-time release, stating, "Once we are sold out, we will be sold out."

The excitement around the white Steam Deck stems from its initial reveal as a prototype during the 2021 Steam Deck presentation. At the time, Valve's Greg Coomer noted, "This is a prototype only. We love it too, but we’re not able to bring it to market at the same time we’re shipping the Steam Deck," hinting at future color options. Now, that promise has been fulfilled with the launch of the "Steam Deck OLED: Limited Edition White."
