It's not a Steam Deck 2, but Valve announced that you can soon buy a new Steam Deck. The company is releasing a limited-edition white Steam Deck OLED just ahead of the holidays.

Valve revealed the new $679 handheld Monday night. Sure, it's a bit pricey, but it only costs $30 more than the equivalent Steam Deck OLED 1TB model. Valve says it'll have all the same specs as the top-tier 1TB version, with up to a 90Hz refresh rate, an HDR OLED display, and a 50 watt-hour battery. The only difference is that it comes in a new color. It even comes with its own white carrying case and white microfiber cloth.
