Australian gamers can now breathe a sigh of relief as Valve announces the official launch of the Steam Deck in the country this November. No more dealing with exorbitant prices from resellers or relying on friends overseas to get your hands on this sought-after handheld PC gaming device.
Here’s what you need to know about the Steam Deck’s release in Australia:
- The Steam Deck will be available for purchase in Australia starting November 2024.
- Both LCD and OLED versions will be up for grabs in the country.
- Prices for the Steam Deck in Australia are as follows:
- 256GB LCD variant: $649 AUD
- 512GB OLED console: $899 AUD
- 1TB OLED version: $1,049 AUD
Valve introduced the OLED Steam Deck as a mid-cycle refresh last year, boasting improvements in screen quality, battery life, haptics, and overall performance compared to the original model. The OLED version features a sleek design with thinner bezels, HDR support, and faster frame rates.
While the LCD version may not be as advanced as its OLED counterpart, it still packs a punch as one of the best handheld PCs on the market. It can handle most Steam games, including AAA titles, and comes at a more affordable price point compared to the OLED model.
Australian gamers can look forward to getting their hands on the Steam Deck soon, offering a powerful and portable gaming experience without the hassle of importation or inflated prices. Stay tuned for the official launch in November and level up your gaming on the go.
