Valve's Highly Anticipated White Steam Deck Finally Arrives – But Supplies Are Limited!
After showcasing a white prototype three years ago, Valve is finally releasing a consumer-ready white Steam Deck. The "Steam Deck OLED: Limited Edition White" launches globally on November 18th, 2024, at 3 PM PST.
Priced at $679 USD, this limited-edition console will be available in select regions including North America, Europe, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Australia. However, Valve emphasizes that quantities are strictly limited, with stock allocated proportionally to each region. Purchases are generally restricted to one unit per account, and accounts must have a prior Steam purchase before November 2024 and be in good standing to qualify. This is a one-time release; once sold out, no further white models of this design will be produced.
Here's the release timetable for various regions:

| United States (EDT) | Nov 18, 6:00 p.m. |
| United States (PDT) | Nov 18, 3:00 p.m. |

The white Steam Deck fulfills a long-held desire among fans, who have eagerly awaited this color option since its prototype unveiling in 2021. Initially, Valve stated the white version was a prototype and not immediately market-ready. Now, the wait is finally over—but act fast!
