What Do Valve Certified Refurbished Steam Decks and Services Include?

The device may have minor defects when a consumer purchases a new Steam Deck. Once the consumers notice that defect, they can return it to Valve under the warranty. After the device returns to Valve's facility, they will run tests and reset the software and defective hardware. After it has cleared all the necessary tests, Valve will sell it as a Refurbished Steam Deck, and the users can get it at a lower price. 

Valve claims that each device undergoes an extensive examination involving over 100 tests at their facilities. Valve examines the controller inputs, the audio system, the screen, the internals and the battery health. After the devices pass these tests, it is ready to go to its new owner. Consumers can save up to 20% by purchasing a refurbished Steam Deck and receive the same customer support experience as a new unit.

On purchasing a Certified Refurbished Steam Decks, customers will receive:

• The same one-year warranty as a new Steam Deck
• A refurbished power supply: fully tested 
• Carrying case and Quick Start guide

GameStop is a popular video game retailer, and they will also be selling refurbished Steam Decks. The refurbished devices sold at GameStop will be refurbished at GameStop's facility and will come with their warranty.
