Steam Deck 256GB (LCD) — Now $319 (20% off)

Valve is currently listing the Steam Deck 256GB (LCD model) at a discounted price: $319, down from the usual $399 — a 20% discount. Steam hasn’t published a firm end date for this offer, so if you’re interested it may be wise to act soon.

Who this is for

This is a solid entry-level option for PC gamers who want a portable experience without the higher cost of the OLED or larger-storage variants. It balances power, portability and price, but keep in mind the trade-offs:

• Screen: LCD — good picture quality but not the deep true blacks or contrast of the OLED model.
• Storage: 256GB can fill up quickly with big AAA titles; consider adding an SD card or managing installs.

Quick verdict

If you’ve been curious about handheld PC gaming and don’t need a huge library on-device, this is a great time to pick up a Steam Deck for less. With the roughly $80 savings you could also buy a couple of indie titles to get started.
