Valve announces Steam Deck OLED with more storage, bigger battery

Valve today revealed a new model of its Steam Deck handheld gaming console. This new Deck has an OLED display, and comes with several upgrades over the older versions, including a bigger battery and heftier storage options. It appears that Steam is now shelving two of the three LCD models and will not sell them once supplies run out, with the OLED version supplanting them on the sales page. Both models (as well as a limited edition colorway) will be available to order on November 16.

The OLED version of the console comes in two versions: A $549 model with 512GB of storage, and a $649 model with 1TB of storage. Both have a 7.4″ screen, which is larger than the 7″ screen on the current models, and a 50Whr battery, which Valve says will last for 3-12 hours of playtime over the current models’ 2-8 hours.
