Refurbished Steam Deck OLED Deals

Valve is selling certified refurbished Steam Deck OLED models. The 512GB model is available, and the 1TB anti-glare model offers even more storage. These refurbished units undergo over 100 tests at a Valve facility, ensuring they meet or exceed the performance standards of brand-new units. Each comes with a carrying case, power supply, and a one-year warranty, though minor cosmetic blemishes may be present.

Why Buy Refurbished?

Purchasing a refurbished OLED Steam Deck offers substantial savings compared to a brand-new device. While refurbished LCD models are currently unavailable, the OLED remains a top choice for portable PC gaming. Although competitors like the Asus ROG Ally X offer comparable battery life and performance, the Steam Deck OLED stands out for its ease of use.

Valve has indicated that a new Steam Deck isn’t imminent, making this refurbished option even more attractive for gamers seeking a high-quality portable gaming experience.
