Valve has launched refurbished Steam Deck handheld consoles. The manufacturer gives a one-year warranty and a discount of up to $130
Valve has officially started selling refurbished Steam Deck handheld consoles.
Here's What We Know
Each console has undergone a professional refurbishment and certified quality check. Refurbished devices fully comply with the manufacturer's quality standards and have all the characteristics, but Valve warns that the consoles may visually observe minor external defects (scratches, slightly wrinkled case).
The main plus of such a purchase is its price.
Depending on the drive you choose, you can save up to $130.
- 64 GB - $319 / £279 (was $399 / £349)
- 256 GB - $419 / £369 (was $529 / £459)
- 512 GB - $519 / £459 (was $649 / £569)
Important!
- A refurbished Steam Deck comes with a one year warranty, just like a new one (or longer, depending on your country of residence);
- the charger has been tested by Valve;
- Includes a storage case and quick start guide.
All officially refurbished Steam Deck handheld gaming computers are thoroughly tested to the same high standards as new units. Each one undergoes a full factory reset, software update and an extensive inspection process that includes over 100 tests, including audio, screen and internal component testing. In addition, we evaluate the condition of the battery to ensure proper functionality and longevity.
All refurbished devices meet (or even exceed) the performance standards of new ones. Due to minor cosmetic defects that do not affect reliability and high-quality gaming experience in any way, their price is lower than standard.
