If you're still somehow on the fence about buying a Steam Deck, here's a good chance for you to get one cheaper as Valve given two models a discount.

With the introduction of the Steam Deck OLED in November 2023, the Steam Deck LCD 64GB and 512GB are being phased out and eventually won't be sold any more. The main models that will continue are the 256GB LCD, 512GB OLED and 1TB OLED Steam Decks.

So to help things along Valve has given the Steam Deck LCD 64GB and 512GB a 15% discount, which will last until July 11th 10am PDT / 5PM UTC. This is of course only until stocks lasts, so you may want to be quick to secure one.

You can get them now for

  • 64GB LCD - £262.65 / $296.65
  • 512GB LCD - £330.65 / $381.65

Buy direct from the Steam Store.

Quoting: BoldosOr how does this work, actually?
Internal 64 GB storage is used for the operating system, SD card (1 TB in my case I think) can be configured in Steam Deck settings as default storage for game installations.

You also confirm that choice before each installation but from that point it will install on SD card by default.

As for more demanding games, my boyfriend installed and played Hogwarts Legacy on it without trouble.

there is anyway to split the game files in both he internal storage and microSD card? i think this might even help with loading speed.

Fast 256 GB card is around 100 euro, how much is then 1TB SD card if it is available at all?

I agree it is best to let operating system run on it's 64 GB internal eMMC storage and keep the games on another storage. All probably works faster if they don't share the storage.

But if you buy with intent to upgrade at start, 512 GB eMMC is a better option. Unless you own some big sd cards already.

Yes but loading speed is really not an issue most of the time
