Steam Deck er officielt lanceret, men det er vist mere i overført betydning eftersom interessen har været så stor, at det lige nu udelukkende er dem der forudbestilte først, som har muligheden for at købe en maskine.
Al den efterspørgsel, og en ret konkurrencedygtig pris, og så kunne man fristes til at tro at Valve let ville kunne hæve prisen, men det er virkelig ikke planen. I stedet vil Valve løbende introducerer mere luksuriøse modeller til en højere pris. I et interview med IGN siger CEO Gabe Newell følgende:
"I mean, part of what you do with pricing is you're making a promise to customers. [...] But we wouldn't expect to be adjusting the SKU pricing."
Og han følger op med følgende løfte om nye modeller i fremtiden:
Absolutely. [...] That's the great thing about the PC market. Right? That it just continues [...] Like a year from now, AMD is going to have better parts. Right? A year from now, all the component suppliers are going to either expand capacity, expand performance, or reduce costs. So, we're absolutely going to ride that as hard as we can. That's part of the thing about being in the PC space is everybody's essentially driving everybody else's price performance improvements over time."
