RAM Crunch Hits Steam Deck OLED Availability, Valve Warns
Valve says the Steam Deck OLED may be intermittently unavailable in some regions due to a RAM shortage, with US and Japan stockouts cited. After earlier delays tied to memory and storage constraints, Valve still plans to ship the Steam Machine, Steam Frame VR headset, and Steam Controller in early 2026 but remains cautious about component availability and pricing. The RAM crisis is affecting the wider tech industry, fueling talk of potential PS6 delays into 2028–2029 and price pressures for Nintendo.
