Get a big 20% off discount on Steam Deck.

PC gamers waiting patiently for the annual Steam Autumn Sale are in for a major surprise. Valve has decided to kick the sales off a week early by offering a significant 20% discount on the Steam Deck 256GB LCD model.

This early sale is live right now, well ahead of the broader Autumn Sale. From now until the end of the Steam Autumn Sale, the Steam Deck 256GB LCD model is available for just $319.20. This is a full 20% off its regular price of $399.00.

This specific model is often considered the "sweet spot" in the original LCD lineup, as it includes a 256GB NVMe SSD. This provides significantly faster loading times and more reliable storage than the original 64GB eMMC base model. This model also comes with its own carrying case and Steam profile bundle.
