Buyers who were procrastinating about purchasing a Valve gaming handheld are feeling regretful. The Steam Deck OLED has disappeared from the U.S. storefront, with stock levels sporadic elsewhere. Facing component shortages, the manufacturer may be considering a price increase.
The GabeCube/Frame/Controller 2 shouldn’t have anything to do with the Deck, though. They’re entirely different products, so they shouldn’t impact availability of the Deck.
And that wasn’t true with the past update to the Deck, either; the 64GB and 512GB LCD models were available for so long that they went on clearance pricing multiple times before they sold out.
New hardware is coming out soon. This is not unusual before a big product launch.
