Every year, Steam has big seasonal and holiday-related deals. This year’s Steam summer sale not only sees a cut in price for games but the Steam Deck, too. For people who have held out to wait out for a deal, this is the time to jump in. Each of the three tiers — each having a different hard drive size and other bonuses — starts with 10% off and goes up each edition to 20%. Whether it is a verified game on the store or something that needs tinkering, you will enjoy this new mobile way to experience PC games.
Valve’s handheld hybrid PC device was released last year. While similar devices have been developed or are in development, it kick-started the conversation about similar devices to play PC games anywhere you want. While competitors like the ASUS ROG Ally have pros and cons, Valve, being the bigger brand, has caught the most attention. This is the time to get in on the current trend in PC gaming.
The Steam Summer Sale Cuts the Price of Steam Deck
The Steam summer sale knocks off 10% from the lowest-end Steam Deck, the 64GB one that comes with a carrying case. The 256GB SSD edition is 15% off, and the ultimate 512GB SSD version is 20% off, making it more enticing to spend the extra cash for the bigger hard drive and everything it comes with. Below you can see the differences and prices:
64GB – $359.10 (was $399)
- Carrying case
256GB NVME SSD – $449.65 (was $529
- Faster storage

- Exclusive Steam Community profile bundle pack
512GB NVME SSD – $519.20 (was $649)

If you order a Steam Deck from the Steam summer sale, you should expect the device to arrive within one to two weeks. In some cases, people have received it sooner.
