If you are wondering whether Steam Deck is on Amazon, we have both good news and bad news.

Steam Deck is only shipping to the United States, Canada, the European Union, and the United Kingdom. The handheld PC is also available for reservation via Komodo in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.

People outside these countries are hoping to get Steam Deck via Amazon. So, let's find out whether Amazon sells Steam Deck or not!

Does Amazon sell Steam Deck?

Yes, Steam Deck is officially available on Amazon. At the time of writing, only the 64GB variant of Steam Deck is available for purchase.

The base model that features 64GB eMMC internal storage is sold for $590 on Amazon, which is almost $190 more than the retail price.

Steam Deck is a good machine but $590 for the 64GB model seems like a rip-off. So, let's look closer and see if it is worth buying Steam Deck from Amazon.

Is it worth buying Valve Steam Deck on Amazon?

It is safe to say that the high price is a deal-breaker. You could buy the 256GB model that comes with NVMe SSD (faster than the 64GB variant) from the Steam Deck website for $529, which is $60 cheaper than the price of the 64GB model on Amazon.

Also, for a reference point, the PS5 console will cost you only $500 on Amazon. And you can buy the Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3 laptop that features RTX 3050 graphics and AMD Ryzen 5 6600H processor for $599 on Amazon if you wish to play games on the go.

Overall, we believe it's not a good idea to buy Steam Deck (64GB) from Amazon as it comes with a hefty price tag. We would recommend you buy Steam Deck from the official website at a reasonable price.

That said if the Steam Deck is not yet available in your country and the expensive price tag doesn't bother you, you can go for it. If you are buying, it is worth looking at the best power bank and dock for Steam Deck on Amazon.
