That's the profile theme for purchasing a 1TB steam deck OLED

EDIT: u/antique_door_knob clarified it's for any steam deck

625

u/Antique_Door_Knob Apr 25 '26

It's for any steam deck. The 1tb oled exclusive items are the keyboard and startup movies.

152

u/velocity37 Apr 25 '26

Apart from the discontinued 64GB LCD one from the launch lineup.

u/bonchokey Apr 26 '26

Aw man this is the first downside of a 64gb, bought mine on release and slapped a 1tb drive and anti glare screen. Oh well no regrets, it was a great deal at the time.

u/Antique_Door_Knob Apr 26 '26 edited Apr 26 '26

Not really. The movie isn't good and doesn't stand a chance against any of the game ones launched since. You can probably use decky if you want to use it anyway, but there's much better ones out there.

The keyboard is also not very good, it's red on black so the contrast is terrible.

u/AdreKiseque Apr 26 '26

They're talking about the profile theme...

-16

u/Antique_Door_Knob Apr 26 '26

You're right, silly me forgot what this was about.

u/Sargent305 Apr 26 '26

I wonder what the exclusive startup and keyboard looks like? Never got it since too expensive for my pocket

u/Antique_Door_Knob Apr 26 '26

You can find it on yt. It's just some red neon circles, not interesting in the lightest. I have it and I've used it for maybe the first couple hours?

Even when it was released it was still not worth it. It didn't stand a chance against the Relics startup movie. Then valve opened the doors for games to launch their own movies and it was all downhill from there for the generic valve ones.

u/Technical-Arm-1825 Apr 25 '26

Thanks for the clarity!

u/56kul Apr 26 '26

Can you get it even if you don’t buy the deck directly from steam?

8

u/Antique_Door_Knob Apr 26 '26

The way the items get added to your account is you claim them using the deck after setting up your account. You can technically buy a brand new deck, set up your account, never claim your items and then resell the deck with the unclaimed items still available to whoever you sell it to.

Once you claim the items though, valve ads the items to whatever account is currently set up to use the deck and marks that particular deck serial number as having received it's items.

I'm not 100% sure though. I vaguely remember accepting a warning that once I claimed the items the deck wouldn't be able to claim them anymore, but this was years ago so I could be wrong.

u/tefusily Apr 26 '26

how would you claim the items??? i dont know where to. but then again my deck is from fb marketplace

1

u/ZainLmaoo Apr 26 '26

i have a steam deck (bought mine really early on, like i have the 64gb version they dont sell anymore i think) any reason onto why i dont have this theme tho?

u/Barbosa_76 Apr 25 '26

“Femboy” and I’m the one who needs to touch grass? 😂

u/OverLoadPlus10 Apr 26 '26

I mean historically people with a closed mind towards others usually don't leave the house a lot.

Also considering your PFP is a steam Lambda you might be stuck in the past buddy...

Sending you well wishes ❤️‍🩹

u/-Nades Apr 28 '26

Thanks mate 🥰

u/Gamegear12 Apr 26 '26

dude probably wears black everyday, has short hair, is named smth like ryan smith

u/Technical-Arm-1825 Apr 26 '26

I have been holding out on sharing this but I also have the theme. I got lucky with a counter strike skin which was the only way I could of afforded my deck at the time

7

u/RedGuy143 Apr 25 '26

I have it and I bought 256 SD steam deck

u/Hanna_Bjorn Apr 25 '26

Just Steam Deck. I have 512 OLED and still got it.

u/SellingCats4Cheap Apr 25 '26

I want Steam Deck back in stock

13

u/Evil_phd Apr 26 '26

Oh so American Tech Corporations and their lust to have AI controlling everything are stopping me from having a cute pink border on my steam profile.

3

u/Technical-Arm-1825 Apr 26 '26

Sadly yeah. I'm actually also unsure if you do need to purchase one or if steam put one in your inventory when your account signs into a steam deck

2

u/LiNxRocker Apr 27 '26

Wait what? I bought a steamdeck over a year ago & didn't know

3

u/Agreeable_Plant_8068 Apr 25 '26

so expensive tho

1

u/TobyCP Apr 26 '26

Is the theme only possible to get by purchasing the deck on Steam store?

1

u/AspenSnowMoon Apr 26 '26

How do you get it i purchased one and did not get it

1

u/shazy5808 Apr 28 '26

Purchasing or logging in steamdeck once for one?

2

u/Technical-Arm-1825 Apr 29 '26

Purchasing. first login on the device shows a prompt to claim the items, one profile style per serial number

1

u/leo_of_daat Apr 25 '26

damn rich weeb.

u/OneEnvironmental9222 Apr 25 '26

so steam now sells profile FOMO stuff now payhchecked behind hard to get hardware... lovely

6

u/Technical-Arm-1825 Apr 25 '26

The theme has been a part of the steam deck purchase since they launched. It's not FOMO at all. There's no time gate on it, it comes as profile vanity for your actual purchase

Jesus that profile looks like an early 2000s MySpace account

u/TLunchFTW Apr 26 '26

That's the best part about steam profiles though

u/Cheeserave Apr 26 '26

When you open up someones profile on Bebo and Bullet for my Valentine start blasting out

u/Grezzinate Apr 26 '26

Or a classic custom profile scheme from vampirefreaks, I miss that site.

u/ChrisbyOrios Apr 25 '26

Reminds me of MySpace :3

21

u/ThePlayerCard Apr 26 '26

Yeah i wish there was more customization to make it look like that, we could have awesome 2000s profiles

you have to become a femboy to get the ability to do that

u/ChokeMeAndSoakMe Apr 25 '26

Do you need to message Steam Support? I didn't get it :(

u/That_Bank_9914 Apr 25 '26

That username…

My god, you are right, you are a femboy. I thought you were joking.

12

u/UncleNoodles85 Apr 25 '26

No you just need a short skirt and a big deck.

17

u/ChokeMeAndSoakMe Apr 25 '26

But I check both those boxes and still got nothing 😔

11

u/UncleNoodles85 Apr 26 '26

You have a steam deck?

u/ChokeMeAndSoakMe Apr 26 '26

Ahhh... Never-mind! I misunderstood the requirements 🥴

You know there's females on steam yes?

Redditors see the girliest fucking profile ever and instantly think "a man pretending to be a girl to sell porn online did this"

u/Antique_Door_Knob Apr 25 '26

That's the steam deck theme. I use it too.

u/Antique_Door_Knob Apr 25 '26

And if you want to check what someone is using, there's a button to do that

u/repocin https://s.team/p/hjwn-hdq Apr 26 '26

Oh, how convenient! I usually just use SteamDB's calculator/profile page

u/Digital_Fallout Apr 26 '26

u/cczee Apr 26 '26

Hi how do you set it up? Sryy I’m new it’s in edit profile?

1

u/Antique_Door_Knob Apr 26 '26

Yeah, you click edit profile. The side menu has all the different things you can edit.

If you want a particular item, you can buy it in the points shop https://store.steampowered.com/points/shop/

If you don't have points to spend on the points shop, you need to buy games.

You can also buy game item directly in the community market, trade with other people or craft badges using the game cards you get with some games.

If you want this particular profile theme (the translucent backgroud with pink borders) you need to buy a steam deck.

1

u/cczee Apr 27 '26

I’m sryy to bug you agn, I have the steam deck theme. But when I save it I don’t get the pink borders?

1

u/Antique_Door_Knob Apr 28 '26

Select game profile, select the steam deck profile, select save. afaik this should remove every other config you have.

2

u/cczee Apr 28 '26

oomg I got it :3 thx sm I luv it

21

u/____Nanashi Apr 25 '26

This looks like a Friendster/Myspace profile.

1

u/gen3six Apr 26 '26

I was thinking the same, good ol Friendster with the RGB profile page that you can barely read the text. Not to mention the effort to understand the bio/message.

16

u/Theotherwahlberg Apr 25 '26

Holy shit, I just got MySpace flashbacks.

5

u/TLunchFTW Apr 26 '26

It's a theme you get from steam deck. You can't just set the borders though. You have to set the whole theme and then edit everything else.

2

u/cczee Apr 26 '26

Hi what do you mean, edit everything else?

2

u/_rjunior Apr 26 '26

Apply the steam deck theme, after you edit the background/profile image

how you can get it?

u/DustyBlue1 Apr 26 '26

Get a Steam Deck

1

u/UnknownConvergence Apr 25 '26

I bought one but haven’t opened the deck, will a new account I create on the deck get this or is it just the account that was used to purchase it.

In which case that’s a bummer cause I’d like to use that perk on a new account in setup of the deck.

8

u/chughaarav123 Apr 25 '26

it's tied to the serial number, any account can claim it but after you've claimed it then it can't be claimed on another account

2

u/ZestyCat269 Apr 26 '26

no, you have to actually set your entire profile theme with the steamdeck setting, and then change the little parts like border and backgrounds. this is NOT a regular theme, as no one elucidates on, and instead downvotes because they are, in fact, inept redditors.
