The 256 GB LCD Steam Deck is reduced to $319.20 at the Steam store, down from its full list price of $399. That makes it less than half the price of the premium 1 TB OLED model, and also $130 less than a Nintendo Switch 2. The offer will be available until Dec. 1.

Valve discounts the Steam Deck for Black Friday, cutting the price enough to make its popular handheld PC more affordable than the original Switch.

For Black Friday, you might want to splurge on a discounted Steam Deck instead of saving your money for the presumably pricey Steam Machine.

Gaming handhelds are getting more expensive, but this great one just got more affordable in time for the holidays.

The Steam Deck LCD is currently over $80 cheaper than usual, but there's sadly no discount for the OLED model.

New Steam hardware reveals, Christmas fast approaching and Black Friday only weeks away. Is now the best time to buy a new Steam Deck?

There is a fantastic range of games getting discounted, too, including 50% off EA Sports FC 26, 15% off Battlefield 6, a whopping 67% (6 7!) off Risk of Rain 2, 20% off Helldivers 2, 34% off the glorious Blue Prince, and 8% Dead by Daylight.

However, while that's still nowhere near being released, two things have just won me over. First, Valve has launched its first ever Steam Black Friday sale with quality games for as low as £1 / $1. And second, a 5-star SteamOS gaming handheld many believe is better than the Steam Deck now has a great Black Friday discount.
