Black Friday Steam Deck deals 2025: What to expect from this year's sale
The Black Friday Steam Deck sales are making a comeback this November

Black Friday Steam Deck sales are one of the best times to grab everything you need to complete your Steam Deck setup, or even pick up a rival handheld or two. Each year, there's a ton of savings to be bad on cases, screen protectors, controllers, headsets, and storage for your beloved Valve handheld. If you don't feel like joining us in the land of the Steam Deck, there's also a sea of alternatives from the Asus ROG Ally X, MSI Claw, and Lenovo Legion Go which have become no strangers to Black Friday sales of their own.
By the time the best gaming Black Friday deals return, it'll be close to four years since the original Steam Deck launched, and exactly two since the upgraded OLED model. In that time, a ton of notable brands, from JSAUX to Baseus have released some of the best Steam Deck accessories that feature heavily during the Black Friday sales. There's no doubt that come this November, they'll return again, but it's big savings on the Steam Deck OLED that will hopefully be a fixture of Black Friday 2025.
Valve does like to join in on the Black Friday discount fun, but last year didn't bring the kind of savings we'd like to see on the actual handheld itself. Come November 28, hopefully, we'll see some chonky price drops on the OLED models and even more record lows, but until then we have all you expect for this year's Steam Deck sales.
Black Friday Steam Deck Deals: FAQ

Black Friday Steam Deck Deals - What to expect
During this year's sales, we could expect to see some attention given to the Steam Deck OLED. There's a good chance Valve will offer some more discounts, with previous sales slashing 10% off the top-end LCD model. During Black Friday 2024, we only really saw savings off the 512GB LCD model, which was a bit of a bummer for those keen to see the benefits of the flashy OLED display. If we're particularly lucky, Valve could cook up something new to influence the price of existing hardware.
As for rivals, the ROG Ally will almost certainly receive some more sort of discounts. Last year, the then-new Asus ROG Ally X dropped to $699.99 at Best Buy, saving you $100 off the $799.99 MSRP. The original Asus ROG Ally handhelds have also remained a fixture of Black Friday over the years, so they'll likely also see further discounts. While we don't have a release date yet, it's very likely the Nintendo Switch 2 could also be a fixture of this year's sales. It likely won't have the power to rival that of the Steam Deck, or its many rivals, but if you love yourself some Ninty fun, it's worth making it part of the conversation.
On to accessories, and there are now more add-ons than ever out there that'll potentially end up cheaper. Docking stations are top of the list, with retailers like Amazon featuring numerous options that are compatible with the Steam Deck and alternatives. For the past couple of years, the Baseus 6-in-1 managed to drop to $31.49 from $59.99 at Amazon, while the Jsaux Steam Deck dock dipped to just $25.
Since battery is a huge issue when using portable PCs, we'll be on the hunt for power bank deals. During Black Friday 2024, the chonky Baseus Blade 100W showed up for just $69.99 (was $129.99) and we're expecting similar models to join the fold in 2025.
If you don't feel equipped to upgrade your Steam Deck's SSD, getting a new microSD card this Black Friday is the next best thing. MicroSD cards of all sizes get cheaper all the time, even without one of the best shopping days of the year. However, 1TB cards like the Lexar 1TB PLAY microSDXC Memory Card saw huge price reductions last year, coming in at just $65.95. Typically, anything 1TB can still sit around the $100 mark, so any deals this November from trusted storage brands like SanDisk are worth keeping a lookout for. Especially as download requirements for some of the best AAA games the Deck can handle get even more demanding.
If the question of whether a Steam Deck 2 will arrive soon, you might be hesitant to pick up the current model or any alternatives. Valve hasn't announced any plans for a next-gen version, but it did spring the OLED edition on us in November 2023. Unless any leaks happen within the months leading up to this year's Black Friday, we'll simply have to wait and see what the handheld scene has in store for us.
Will the Steam Deck go on sale?
The Steam Deck rarely drops in price, but Valve has provided a discount a few times since it's arrival. So, if it's going to happen again, it'll likely be during Black Friday 2025, but there's no guarantee it'll show up to the big event.
How long is the wait for a Steam Deck?
Valve says Steam Deck orders will take 3-5 business days to arrive, meaning you won't have to join a waiting list to grab the portable powerhouse. That said, models occasionally sell out from time to time, which could mean you'll wait longer for your order to arrive.
Will the Steam Deck dock drop in price this Black Friday?
Black Friday 2025 is sure to feature various Steam Deck docks by a variety of third-party manufacturers, including Jsaux, Ivoler, Baseus, and more. Some prices will likely drop to record lows throughout the year (if last year is anything to go by) meaning you might be able to pick one up for well under $20, depending on your chosen model's specs and features.

MSI Claw (Ultra 7-155H) | $749 $441.15 at Amazon

I’ve been messing around with PCs, video game consoles, and tech since before I could speak. Don’t get me wrong, I kickstarted my relationship with technology by jamming a Hot Wheels double-decker bus into my parent’s VCR, but we all have to start somewhere. I even somehow managed to become a walking, talking buyer’s guide at my teenage supermarket job, which helped me accept my career fate. So, rather than try to realise my musician dreams, or see out my University degree, I started running my own retro pop culture site and writing about video games and tech for the likes of TechRadar, The Daily Star, and the BBC before eventually ending up with a job covering graphics card shenanigans at PCGamesN. Now, I’m your friendly neighbourhood Hardware Editor at GamesRadar, and it’s my job to make sure you can kick butt in all your favourite games using the best gaming hardware, whether you’re a sucker for handhelds like the Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch or a hardcore gaming PC enthusiast.
