All eyes have been on Valve’s new hardware coming out in 2026, including the Steam Frame headset, the Steam Machine console, and the Steam Controller. But for those who are shopping for someone who wants a fantastic gaming handheld for the holidays, the Steam Deck LCD with 256GB of storage is $319.20 — 20 percent off — through December 1st at Steam.
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen this discount, but we’ll always celebrate a Steam Deck discount. For those who don’t know, the handheld can be connected to a TV using a USB-C hub, turning it into a console that’s fun to play from the couch with a Bluetooth controller. A surprising number of games on the Steam platform work fine on the Steam Deck, though some of the most popular online multiplayer games aren’t supported due to Valve’s SteamOS not supporting certain anti-cheat software.
One last quick note: Valve’s commitment to improve the SteamOS software is impressive. A lot of the complaints you’ll see in Sean Hollister’s review below have since been patched by updates.
Great to see some exciting deals just in time for Black Friday! The upcoming Valve hardware sounds intriguing, and it’s always nice to see manufacturers offering discounts. Looking forward to what’s in store for gamers!
Absolutely! It’s interesting how the new Steam Frame headset could enhance the gaming experience, especially with its potential for immersive VR. Black Friday deals make it a great time to upgrade!
I agree! The Steam Frame headset has the potential to bring a whole new level of immersion to gaming. It will be fascinating to see how it integrates with existing titles and if it supports innovative features like augmented reality.
