Will there be another Steam Deck discount sale later this year?

I assume they’ll discount it again during either the autumn or winter sales. Maybe both.

Nov 21 - Nov 28, 2023: Steam Autumn Sale Dec 21, 2023 - Jan 4, 2024: Steam Winter Sale

I would think so. Their APU can't keep up with the 7840U found in so many other handhelds now. Lots of people are going to the ROG Ally and Ayeneo options among others

- At the moment, the Ally makes news about their bad build quality. I'm curious for how long the hype about that device will last, the Steam Deck still holds up so far.

  (Edit: I'm talking about the Deck) I think it holds up because it's the most well known and the openness of the project allows for all types of addons which is awesome.

- So is it likely for a refresh?

  I'd estimate that the refresh cycles are more like consoles (5y) than PCs (1y). But noone really knows.

  I would think so. Or maybe it'll have a way of upgrading the motherboard with a new APU

I would assume it will go on sale again as it is in valves interest to have more deck users. They can also use it to bump up sales if deck sales are slowing as people on the fence will be more likely to buy it at a discount.

Don't know if the website will be translated into your language but give it a try: https://store.steampowered.com/news/group/4145017/view/3645136358931000680

The last sale was a 'big seasonal sale'. The next one of this kind will start on Nov 21st. I expect the deck will get a discount again.
