Valve Steam Deck OLED – 512GB (Parallel Import)

Your games in a whole new light

An OLED screen with larger picture, better battery life, faster WiFi— on top of world class ergonomics and an intuitive console-like experience.

Steam Deck’s HDR OLED display is designed from the ground up for gaming with striking contrast, brilliant clarity, and a larger picture. With more colours, pure blacks, and amazing motion rendition, you’ll see your games in a new light.

Play longer, download faster

With Steam Deck OLED, we’ve overhauled the internals, making battery life longer and downloads faster. At the same time, we made the device a bit lighter and cooler.

More time to play
Steam Deck OLED has 30-50% more battery life. We fit a bigger battery into the case, and the OLED display draws less power. Combined with the updated, more efficient AMD APU, you have way more time to play your favourites.

Faster downloads
Steam Deck OLED comes with Wifi 6E, offering increased bandwidth and lower latency. This means faster downloads (up to 3 times faster!) and stable online play.

Lighter, cooler
Thanks to a bigger fan and updated thermals, Steam Deck OLED runs cooler. It also weighs 30g, or ~5% lighter than the LCD model, due to the screen.

More than OLED: improvements inside and out

Better touchscreen
The touchscreen’s responsiveness and fidelity is vastly improved. Haptics are higher fidelity and more consistent. We’ve also added a dedicated Bluetooth antenna, improving connection for multiple controllers.

Easier to repair, easier to mod*
All of the rear case screws are now Torx™ type, which screw into metal threads, making disassembly / reassembly possible without impacting structural integrity. Internal components are now easier to access, and Steam Deck OLED replacement parts will be coming to iFixit soon.

*for trained professionals, of course
