On the Steam Deck subreddit, numerous owners have shared photos and stories of discovering tiny cracks in the back of their new Limited Edition OLED Steam Decks. The cracks are usually found near the screws on the back of the device.

User Complaints

"I woke up this morning to an unfortunate surprise," posted one user. "The plastic shell next to the vent cracked and now the section near the SD card slot is wobbly. I’ve never dropped my deck and I always store it in the provided case when not in use. I’m hoping it’s not a quality issue with the translucent shell material."

Other users have reported similar experiences, with several finding similar cracks in their Limited Edition Decks.

Community reaction has been strong, with one user expressing their disappointment, "Wow. I have these cracks too it turns out. That is some bullshit right there," they wrote. Another user shared, "I checked mine and it happened to me as well. Oh no."
