Despite price hike, Steam Deck is already sold out in North America

In an astonishing turn of events, the Steam Deck OLED was snapped up almost immediately after Valve announced its renewed availability at a significantly higher price point. Within just 24 hours, the handheld device was marked as 'out of stock' across the United States and Canada. While North American customers faced a swift sellout, checks on Thursday morning revealed that the Steam Deck remained available in various European and Australian markets. It was also accessible in certain Asian regions through Valve's sales collaborator, Komodo. Although it's challenging to ascertain the exact number of units sold at the new price, it’s clear that the demand was strong enough to propel the Steam Deck back to the top of Steam's Top Sellers list. This ranking is determined by total revenue generated within the last 24 hours, indicating that while the $789 Steam Deck may not have sold as many units as the top software on the list—currently led by the $70007 First Light—it still made a significant impact on sales rankings.
