Valve has recently updated its Steam Deck webpage, indicating potential intermittent shortages of the Steam Deck OLED across various regions. These shortages are attributed to ongoing issues with memory and storage supplies. The popular handheld gaming device has been unavailable in the United States and several other regions for a few days, and this update sheds light on the underlying cause.

This announcement follows Valve’s decision to delay the release of the Steam Machine, Steam Frame, and Steam Controller, which were initially scheduled for an early 2026 launch. The postponement is also due to the same supply chain challenges. In a recent statement, Valve emphasized the need to establish firm pricing and launch timelines while acknowledging the rapidly changing nature of these circumstances.

Despite the setbacks, Valve remains committed to introducing the new hardware within the first half of 2026. The company is actively working to finalize its plans as promptly as possible to ensure a smooth release.

Additionally, Valve’s website confirms that production of the 256GB LCD Steam Deck has ceased, a decision that was initially disclosed late last year.
