Valve discontinues budget Steam Deck LCD model
Valve has ceased production of its original LCD Steam Deck, its most affordable handheld. This move effectively raises the entry price to $549 with only OLED models remaining. Analysts suggest rising component costs, possibly due to AI demand, made the budget option unsustainable. The discontinuation prompts questions about Valve's future hardware pricing strategy.
