Valve’s Steam Deck OLED, our current pick for the best handheld gaming PC, is suddenly out of stock on Steam in the US and from partner Komodo in Japan, Hong Kong, Korea, and Taiwan.

The stock issue began late last night, according to deal hunter Wario64. While the company stopped production of the LCD Steam Deck in December, there has been no suggestion that the OLED model was on the way out.

On Reddit, some users in Europe are stating that they still see stock. On the gaming forum ResetEra, some users in Japan say they see a note on Komodo that stock will return in February. The US store has no such note, though you can still add the device to your Steam Wishlist.

Valve has not responded to requests for comment as of publication.
