A modder has successfully demonstrated a workable method for upgrading the Steam Deck OLED to 32GB of RAM. With some of the latest handheld gaming PCs now shipping with 32GB, this timely upgrade offers one way to improve the longevity of the popular Valve handheld, as long as you’ve got the guts to rip it apart and solder the new RAM modules into place.
The Steam Deck continues to be our favorite portable gaming device in our best handheld buying guide, but it only offers 16GB of RAM, unlike some of its newer competitors. The OLED model is no different, offering a better screen but with similar specs to the original, meaning 16GB is your limit without a mod like such as this one. It isn’t going to be for the faint of heart, however, and we wouldn’t recommend it for most gamers unless you’re handy with a soldering iron.
