Valve has made an announcement today about the launch of “certified refurbished” Steam Deck units that are now available for purchase at a discount of approximately 20 percent compared to brand-new units. This offer allows consumers to obtain a Steam Deck at a price even lower than during Steam’s regular Summer Sale. All refurbished consoles come with the same one-year warranty as new ones.
GameStop is also offering Steam Deck refurbished models in select stores, although the units are refurbished at GameStop’s own facilities and come with a separate warranty. The three Steam Deck versions are in stock: the 64GB version for $319, the 256GB version for $419, and the 512GB version for $519. These are significantly cheaper than the new condition prices of $399, $529, and $649 for each model, respectively.
Valve assures customers that each device is put through a thorough inspection and testing process at one of their facilities, including a complete factory reset, software update, and more than 100 different examinations. These tests cover all aspects of the device such as controller inputs, audio system, screen, internals, and battery health.
Though the refurbished units might carry minor cosmetic imperfections, Valve promises a trustworthy and top-notch gaming experience at a more economical price. The refurbished models also include a power supply, carrying case, and a quick-start guide. Stock levels for these refurbished Steam Decks may vary, and Valve advises checking their stock regularly if they’re out of stock.
GameStop’s refurbished Steam Decks are available as well, but they are only for customers with a GameStop Pro membership, costing $25 a year, and they are sold at up to 20% less than new models in select stores.

never really thoght about getting a Steam Deck before but this might be the perfect time to try one. the price for 512GB one looks tempting.
I have a Steam Deck and love it. If the refurbished ones come with the same warranty they must be decent, right? Anyone else thinks so?
Seems like a great deal, but “minor cosmetic blemishes”? Wonder how bad that could be, and if it’s worth the savings…
already have a Steam Deck but thinking of getting another one for my bro. This refurbished offer seems like a steal, Thanks Valve!
GameStop’s refurbished models only for Pro members. That’s kinda disappointing, what if you just want to try it out? Not sure I like that.
Wow, 20% off on a Steam Deck? That’s amazing! Might pick one up, anyone know if the refurbished ones are any good?
refurbished at Gamestop, does that mean its as good as factory refurbished? im not so sure about that…
