On December 20, 2025, Valve updated the Steam Deck listings to show that the Steam Deck LCD 256 GB model is no longer being produced. The Steam store carries a short notice saying the model will not be available once current stock runs out, and at least in the US that inventory is listed as sold out.
The change was first flagged in reporting by GamingOnLinux, and the disclaimer remains on the official Steam store page. The line on the store reads that Valve is “no longer producing the Steam Deck LCD 256 GB model” and that it will be gone once sold out.
This removes the final LCD option from Valve’s official lineup and leaves the OLED model as the actively produced handheld. The LCD Deck had been the budget-friendly choice, and it saw steep discounts late last month – including a deep Black Friday price cut covered in our Black Friday price story – which likely helped clear remaining stock.
What this means for buyers. New units of the LCD 256 GB will be harder to find through official channels now that production has stopped. Shoppers who prefer the LCD model will need to look to remaining retail stock, used markets, or third-party sellers. The OLED Deck remains the current production model for anyone buying new from Valve.
The discontinuation doesn’t change software support or the Deck’s place in Valve’s ecosystem. SteamOS and Steam’s compatibility tools continue to work across Deck models, and Valve’s move appears aimed at streamlining its hardware lineup rather than ending platform support.
