Steam Deck Hit by RAM Shortage, Availability Drops

Memory and storage shortages are impacting the availability of Valve's Steam Deck, with the device now intermittently out of stock in some regions, according to a recent announcement from Valve. The shortages, which have been affecting the PC industry since late 2025, have also led to delays in the release of Valve's new Steam Machine desktop and Steam Frame VR headset.

Valve's Steam Deck page now includes a note indicating that the device will be unavailable at times due to these shortages. Currently, none of the three listed Steam Deck configurations are available for purchase, nor are any of the certified refurbished configurations that Valve sometimes offers. The company has not yet announced when the device will be back in stock.

The shortages are part of a larger trend affecting the tech industry. Earlier this month, Valve announced the delays of its new products due to the same issues.

Finally, for fans of the Metroid Prime series, the "Metroid Prime 13: A Visual Retrospective" art book is currently on sale. The book, which typically retails for $49.99, offers a deep dive into the lore of the game.
