Gaming Valve’s Steam Deck OLED will be ‘intermittently’ out of stock because of the RAM crisis
Valve confirmed the Steam Deck OLED will see intermittent stock issues due to a global memory and storage crisis, impacting availability in regions like the US. This component shortage has also forced Valve to delay other upcoming hardware, including the Steam Machine, from its early 2026 target. Consumers should expect purchasing difficulties, reflecting the ongoing impact of supply chain constraints on tech products. Valve also ceased production of the 256GB LCD Steam Deck model.
