After searching for a bit i find THIS article with all the announced sales dates. According to it there are still 3 main sale dates left:

  • Return of Steam Scream Fest (Halloween): October 26 - November 2 (additional details to come)
  • Autumn Sale: November 21 - 28 (major seasonal sale)
  • Winter Sale: December 21 - January 4, 2024 (major seasonal sale)

Anyone know if there are any concrete chance to have a discount on the console in these days?

    My understanding is that the Steam Deck itself is sold at a loss, so if there is a sale it’s likely to be only 10%, like it was last sale

    They had higher discounts on higher tier devices last sale, but I think it’s more cost effective to just buy the lowest tier and a third party ssd.

      It depends on the tier of deck. The lowest tier is sold at a loss, but after than steam decks generate some profit

      I bought the base model on sale and got a 1TB Samsung SSD off AliExpress and in total it was cheaper than the 512GB model

      Yep as my 64gb ssd is filling just from downloading and redownloading vulcan shaders every time an micro sd card is inserted with steam games.
