Steam Deck: The Steam Deck was recently released by Valve in the US, Canada, and European markets. According to an insider in the business, the item is currently rumoured to be making its way to India via the grey market and may already be accessible at your local retailers.
All you have to do is see whether it’s available at the local store since it seems to have made it to a few outlets since it’s being imported into the nation.
The pricing seems to be all over the place because it is coming from the grey market. The following are the Steam Deck’s approximations of prices. For the standard 64GB variant, Steam Deck costs Rs 62,500; for the 256GB variant, Rs 77,000; and for the 512GB variant, Rs 90,000.
As you can see, the costs are inflated because Steam Deck was initially offered for $399 (around Rs 32,600) in the US. Prices will decrease as a result of Valve setting up more stock in more places across the world, which will enable importers to purchase it at a lower cost.
