Steam Deck to launch in Australia in November 2024
Valve will launch the Steam Deck in Australia in November 2024, offering both LCD and OLED versions. This marks the first time the handheld gaming PC will be available in the country, with no pre-orders and immediate shipping upon release. The LCD model will be priced at AUD $649, while the OLED versions will cost AUD $899 for 512GB and AUD $1,049 for 1TB. These prices match those in other markets. The Steam Deck was first released in the U.S. in February 2022, with the OLED version introduced in November 2023. The delay in Australia may be linked to a past legal issue with the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission.
