Not exactly a surprise but still great to see for Steam Deck fans for the ongoing support from Valve, as the Steam Deck is now firmly the global top seller on Steam once again.
Then it dropped globally down to 11th in the week for September 26, 2023 - October 3, 2023 and hovered around 11th - 15th place.
Now that Valve have discounted the LCD models and released the Steam Deck OLED though, this has caused a nice spike in sales for Valve with the Steam Deck jumping up to 4th place for the week November 7, 2023 - November 14, 2023 and now the global top seller once again as of the week for November 14, 2023 - November 21, 2023 and it’s still the top seller for the last week as well so it’s firmly back.
Valve will of course be happy with this, as they plan to continue supporting all models, and they clearly have plans for a Steam Deck 2 once the hardware becomes available that’s a big enough of a performance boost.
We don’t know how many Steam Decks have been sold but it is now in the “multiple millions” number.
When you look at Komodo who sell the Steam Deck across Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong they’re currently listing the Steam Deck OLED models as out of stock right now too - so clearly there’s healthy demand there as well.
Or you can go for the 256GB LCD model which is now cheaper, or just grab the excellent Steam Deck OLED in either 512GB or 1TB.
