Before we get onto any Prime Day Steam Deck deal predictions, it’s worth pointing out that Valve already has Steam Summer Sale discounts live right now. At the moment, you cangrab 15% off the 64GB and 512GB LCD model, bringing their respective prices down to $296.65 and $381.65. This current wave of discounts is set to end on July 11 at 10am PDT, so if you’re not after the OLED version, you might want not want to wait for Amazon’s big sale.
That said, if Valve does decide to whip up some Prime Day Steam Deck discounts, there’s a chance other versions will show up for less. Ideally, we’re looking for the base 256GB LCD model to drop from $399.99 to $349, with the 512GB OLED handheld drifting below the $500 mark. If previous discounts on the older LCD flagship device are anything to go by, the 1TB OLED option may also end up with over $100 off, and we reckon dropping from $649.99 to $549.99 will distract some of you from buying a ROG Ally instead.
We’re expecting to see some price cuts on the device this year during the likes of Prime Day, especially since the two models above are still in stock. That’s despite the fact Valve says it’s phasing out the two LCD versions, so using Amazon’s sale as an excuse to chop prices further makes sense. That said, the OLED model might also end up slightly cheaper too, but we’ll have to wait and see what the portable PC maker has up its sleeve.
Just like when your grandma calls every vacuum a Hoover or every console a Nintendo, sometimes the best Steam Deck deals aren’t on Steam Decks. By that, I mean Amazon’s sale could be a perfect opportunity to pick up an alternative like theAsus ROG AllyorLenovo Legion GO. The cheaper variant of the Ally specifically has already semi-permanently dropped to $399.99, and the top model often dips to $599.99 during annual sales.
Asus also just officially announced the ROG Ally X, a revamped version of the original with improved specs and battery life. That should help instigate some offers on the original as we charge towards July, and it could even prompt other brands to get competitive. In any case, you’ll want to also keep an eye onPrime Day Asus ROG Ally dealsfor offers on the laptop maker’s portable PC.
There’s even a brand new version of the MSI Claw set to arrive soon, and while it’s not our first portable PC choice, grabbing the original might be worth while if it drops to a low enough price. Ideally, you’ll want to keep things as close to the $400 mark as possible, but that’s unlikely given it normally costs $800 (ouch).
There’s not long left to take advantage of Amazon Prime Day deals, as we’re on the second and final day of the sale. When the clock strikes midnight going into July 18, the event will be over, so if you want to grab an offer, be sure to do so sooner rather than later.
You’ll only need a Prime membership for the Amazon offers exclusively reduced for members, but we often see plenty of discounts pop up that technically don’t require a monthly fee. That said, if you’re new, you’ll be able to sign up for a 30-day free trial, get access to every offer, and take advantage of free delivery.
Amazon Prime 30-day free trialAmazon has a 30-day free trial available for its Prime membership meaning you don’t even need to pay to take part in Prime Day tablet deals this year. Be sure to set a reminder, though, this will auto-renew at a rate of $14.99 / £7.99 a month

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.
