Persistent global shortages of PC components driven by AI-related demand are pushing up the cost of gaming hardware, with Valve engineer Yazan Aldehayyat warning that prices are unlikely to fall before 2027. RAM supplies are heavily allocated, leading to rising costs across consoles and devices, including significant price increases for the PS5 Pro, Nintendo Switch 2 and Valve’s Steam Machine.
