Steam Deck OLED: Your Games in a Whole New Light

An OLED screen with a larger picture, better battery life, and faster WiFi—on top of world-class ergonomics and an intuitive console-like experience.

Brighter Colors, Blacker Blacks

Steam Deck’s HDR OLED display is designed from the ground up for gaming with striking contrast, brilliant clarity, and a larger picture. With more colors, pure blacks, and amazing motion rendition, you’ll see your games in a new light.

Play Longer, Download Faster

With Steam Deck OLED, we’ve overhauled the internals, making battery life longer and downloads faster. At the same time, we made the device a bit lighter and cooler.

More Time to Play: Steam Deck OLED has 30-50% more battery life. We fit a bigger battery into the case, and the OLED display draws less power. Combined with the updated, more efficient AMD APU, you have way more time to play your favorites.

Faster Downloads: Steam Deck OLED comes with WiFi 6E, offering increased bandwidth and lower latency. This means faster downloads (up to 3 times faster!) and stable online play.

Lighter, Cooler: Thanks to a bigger fan and updated thermals, Steam Deck OLED runs cooler. It also weighs 30g, or ~5% lighter than the LCD model, due to the screen.

Updated Carrying Case

The 1TB models (including Limited Edition) come in an exclusive case with a removable liner. This is perfect for throwing Steam Deck into your backpack when you don’t need the protection (or bulk) of the full hard case.

Better Touchscreen

The touchscreen’s responsiveness and fidelity is vastly improved. Haptics are higher fidelity and more consistent. We’ve also added a dedicated Bluetooth antenna, improving connection for multiple controllers.

Easier to Repair, Easier to Mod

All of the rear case screws are now Torx™ type, which screw into metal threads, making disassembly/reassembly possible without impacting structural integrity. Internal components are now easier to access, and Steam Deck OLED replacement parts will be coming to iFixit soon.

About the Software of Steam Deck OLED

Deck is Steam-Powered The software that runs on Steam Deck is powerful, easy to use, and—best of all—it’s always getting better.

Console-like Experience

The console-like experience of Steam and SteamOS is one of the core features of Steam Deck. It’s designed specifically for gamepad controls, and tailored for Steam Deck – making it the easiest way to get into PC gaming.

Always Getting Better We’re always listening to feedback to hear what customers are asking for, and we’re constantly turning that feedback into updates to Steam and SteamOS. Over the last year and a half, over three hundred updates have shipped with new features and improvements for Steam Deck.

All the Steam Features You’d Expect

Cloud Saves: Start playing on a PC and pick up right where you left off on Deck or vice versa.
Notifications: All notifications are now in one place, so you can check-in without leaving your game.
Steam Chat: Your friends are all here—access Steam Chat at the push of a button.
Remote Play: Stream games from your home PC directly to your Deck no matter where you are.
Store: The entire Steam Store experience is accessible from Deck.
Community: Keep up to date with friends, news, and all the latest activity from Steam.

Your Steam Library, Anywhere

Once you’ve logged into Steam Deck, your entire Steam Library shows up, just like any other PC. You’ll be able to find your collections and favorites – exactly where you left them. Steam on Deck has been optimized for gamepad controls, and is the easiest way to get into PC gaming. Playing, buying, finding games, adjusting settings and adding peripherals, updating games, drivers, and system software—all these things are incredibly easy to do without any fuss. And just like Steam on PC, it gets better with every update.

A New Steam Operating System

On Steam Deck, your games run on a different operating system than the one on your desktop PC. It’s called SteamOS, and it was built with Steam Deck in mind and optimized for a handheld gaming experience. SteamOS is constantly being updated, and new features and improvements are added all the time.

SteamOS also comes with Proton, a compatibility layer that makes it possible to run your games without any porting work needed from developers. For Deck, we’re always working to improve Proton’s game compatibility and support, and we are testing all games so players know how they will play on Steam Deck with a program called Deck Verified.

Core Features that Define Steam Deck

Plus an intuitive, console-like experience:

Full-sized Controls

Steam Deck was built for extended play-sessions, with full-size thumbsticks, buttons, and triggers positioned perfectly within your reach.

Trackpads

Play PC games that were never designed to be handheld. With increased precision and customizability, trackpads also give you a competitive edge when playing fast-paced FPS games.

Gyro Aiming

With an IMU and capacitive touch thumbsticks on-board, Deck helps you aim better. By physically positioning the device, you can achieve more precision than using a thumbstick or trackpad alone.

Grip Buttons

Four user-assignable buttons on the back of the Deck put the next level of control right at your fingertips while keeping your thumb firmly planted on the trackpad or stick.

Hi-Fi Audio

Steam Deck’s stereo speakers pack a punch. An embedded DSP provides clarity and a wide soundstage for an immersive listening experience. Connect your favorite headphones, or use the onboard dual microphones to chat with your friends.

Fast Suspend/Resume

We’ve built a quick suspend/resume feature into SteamOS. Press the power button, and Steam Deck will suspend your game and go into sleep mode. Push the power button again and it will wake up right where you left off.

MicroSD Card Slot

All models of Steam Deck support expanding your storage via microSD cards. Games stored on a microSD card will appear in your library instantly.

Responsive Touchscreen

Type and swipe through Steam UI with Steam Deck’s capacitive multi-touch display. Available in 7″ LCD or 7.4″ OLED.

Use Your Deck as a PC, Because It Is One

Steam Deck is Bluetooth-ready, and its USB-C port can handle all sorts of I/O: your TV, monitor, or even your old CRT if you have the right cables. When docked, the Steam Deck’s USB-C port can carry video, audio, input, etc. Just plug in your peripherals, or use the official Steam Deck Docking Station, and you’re ready to go.
