Valve has unveiled refurbished models of the Steam Deck. These models, which were returned by users and repaired by the company, aim to bring the portable gaming console to a wider audience. So how much does the refurbished Steam Deck cost and will it be available worldwide?
What does the refurbished Steam Deck promise?
According to a statement from Valve, refurbished Steam Deck models are undergoing extensive testing. Each device undergoes a software update, more than 100 tests, and checks of all components. Battery health is also evaluated.
These Steam Deck models meet the same performance standards as the new devices, the company said in a statement. Valve admits there are minor flaws, but they don’t detract from the portable console experience.
The refurbished Steam Deck models come with a 1-year warranty, similar to the new devices. They also come with a fully tested power supply, carrying case and quick start guide.
Sales prices for the new portable handheld console have not been announced. However, it should be noted that there have been some leaks on the SteamDB list. Accordingly, the entry model with 64GB storage will be available starting at $319. The regular price is 399 dollars.
In addition, the top-end version with 512 GB SSD will allegedly be sold for 519 dollars.
Steam Deck is currently not officially available in Turkey. However, the introduction of the refurbished version will increase stocks and help Valve expand to more countries.
