The 512GB model rose from 99,800 yen to 137,980 yen, an increase of 38,180 yen. The 1TB model jumped from 114,800 yen to 167,980 yen, a rise of 53,180 yen. The revision applies to Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. Valve cited rising component costs and global logistics conditions as reasons for the increase. This is the second price revision for the Steam Deck OLED in 2026, following a 15,000 yen hike in March. The devices remain sold out at KOMODO STATION, with no restock announced. Users on social media expressed surprise at the new prices, with some comparing the increase unfavorably to other handheld consoles.","whyItMatters":"The price hike pushes the Steam Deck OLED well beyond the cost of competing handheld gaming PCs and consoles in Japan, potentially narrowing its market appeal as component and logistics costs continue to rise industry-wide.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eKOMODO did not announce the reason for the revision, but memory and storage prices have been rising recently, and ASUS's portable gaming PC \"ROG Xbox Ally\" also saw a price increase, according to GAME Watch. The ROG Xbox Ally X sold by Microsoft and ASUS saw a 30,000 yen price hike in February this year, Automaton noted.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eValve announced a price revision along with a restock notice on May 28, raising prices for the two Steam Deck OLED models by approximately $200 to $300. Since KOMODO handles sales in Japan, attention focused on the extent of the domestic increase. The 512GB model rose by about 40,000 yen, while the 1TB model rose by over 50,000 yen.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsers on social media expressed surprise. Comments included \"That's really expensive...\", \"Compared to this, the Switch 2 price increase is negligible\", \"Glad I bought it while it was cheap\", and \"This is no longer the price of a handheld game console,\" according to ASCII.jp. Concerns about scalpers buying up stock are rising, Game Spark reported. Overseas, the Steam Deck OLED saw a price increase of up to $300, but in Japan, including import costs, the increase exceeds that, reaching over 50,000 yen.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCurrently, both models are sold out at KOMODO STATION. The company has announced that those wishing to purchase should add the item to their wish list on the shop and wait for restock information.
