Valve has a new portable console in the catalog: Steam Deck OLED: Limited Edition White. Yes, this is an empty Steam Deck, a color that suits you wonderfully and that it will arrive as a special edition and in limited pieces. If you are interested, be careful, after the stock is sold out, they won’t make any more.

Although Chinese manufacturers such as ONE or AYA have had several machines on the market and the Nintendo Switch’s ability to play on the go has been praised since its launch, the launch Steam Deck was a big shock for the new youth that the portable console segment is experiencing. And the rival to beat for the rest, although none other than Nintendo can come close to the sales that Valve boasts.

The new Steam Deck in white is gorgeous

Valve decided to use a solid black finish to speed up production of the original machine and keep costs down. Third-party companies sell back covers that allow modification, but this involves removing the original cover and increasing its price. That’s why one of the new features we said we’d like to see in a potential second version of the console was greater aesthetic options.

Around this time last year, Valve released a special edition with the option of a translucent finish that provided this new aesthetic. Now comes another special variant which combine white and gray on the chassis and the button panel and it – to our taste – fits really well. “Last year, we launched a limited edition translucent and smoky Steam Deck OLED as experiment to see if there was interest in alternative color combinations (and it was!). This is our second experiment in this direction.”they say from Valve.

The rest of the features are the same as the current version with an OLED screen, 7 inches with a native resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels, HDR and a refresh rate of 90 Hz, its APU is partially adapted to AMD Zen 2 (4c/8t ) with RDNA 2 graphics, supplemented by 16 GB RAM and 1 TB NVMe SSD for high-capacity storage, complemented by a 50 Wh battery that can offer up to 12 hours of autonomy.

The new white Steam Deck will be available internationally starting November 18 for $679. Valve will include a carrying case and a microfiber cleaning cloth that matches the color of the console. The company emphasized that this product will be available in limited quantities and only one unit will be sold per Steam user account. It can be purchased in Spain on November 19 for 719 euros exclusively on the Valve website.
