Price hike sends Steam Deck demand tumbling, analysts say 75%+ drop
Boiling Steam’s estimate suggests Steam Deck weekly sales have fallen sharply after Valve’s 2026 price increase and the shift to OLED-only models, with current estimates around 1,400–3,000 units per week—roughly 75–82% lower than last year. Stockouts in some regions and ongoing availability issues may also dampen demand, and Valve has not released official sales figures.
