Valve has sold plenty of Steam Decks since launch but as with any product, a percentage of them did get sent back due to various reasons. Rather than putting fixable hardware to waste, Valve now offers a refurbished Steam Deck option, with up to £110 chopped off the price tag.
The Certified Refurbished Steam Deck page went live on the store last night, confirming a leak from earlier in the day. Valve now offers refurbished versions of the 64GB, 256GB and 512GB Steam Decks, priced at £279, £369 and £459 respectively.
For comparison, the brand new Steam Deck models are sold at £349, £459 and £569 for the 64GB, 256GB and 512GB versions.
Each certified refurbished Steam Deck model goes through more than 100 functionality tests and quality checks at a Valve facility before being sold on to a consumer. Refurbished models are entitled to the same 1-year warranty as the new models and are shipped with a new carrying case for storage. The base model is already out of stock here in the UK but the 256GB and 512GB versions remain available at the time of writing.
