The 256 GB console is 20% off right now
Valve has knocked 20% off the price of the base model of Steam Deck for Black Friday, making the best choice for an entry-level PC gaming handheld even more affordable.
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.
Admittedly, 256 GB isn’t a lot of storage, but if you use your Steam Deck to play mostly indie or older games it won’t cause you too many problems. You can always expand the storage with a microSD card, and there are plenty of deals available for those through Black Friday. Amazon is currently offering a 1 TB Samsung Pro Plus card for $79.99, a one-third saving on its $119.99 list price.
This is one of the best Black Friday deals on gaming hardware out there, alongside Sony’s big PS5 reduction. If you’ve been thinking about getting on the Steam Deck bandwagon, now might be the time.
