Valve confirms Steam Machine and Steam Frame will ship this summer

gamingJun 4, 202617710

Valve announced on its Steamworks Development blog that the Steam Machine console and the standalone Steam Frame VR headset will both ship this summer. Valve also expanded its Verified hardware program to include both devices, meaning they will receive compatibility certification for the Steam store and game library. The Steam Frame is a standalone VR headset rather than a PC-tethered device, while the Steam Machine is positioned as a living-room focused PC console. Valve did not disclose prices or exact launch dates, and Verified status will shape which games run well and how developers support each device.

But how much IS IT

with Nvidia buying out CPU chips as well for their AI nonsense, I feel that this isn't going to cost low...

The expected price seems make people a bit concerned about this machine 😓

Really unfortunate the timing for this launch. The price point is going to make this really hard to swallow for normies.

1/3 Gabe Newell is using his yacht to do the same thing I would have done if I had one: helping conduct science research. *Anyway*, Linus makes the unfortunate observation I’m agreeing with that the 2026 Steam Machine is becoming the 2015 Steam Machines.

Cause of the recent RAM shortage, prices on PC specs have risen dramatically. The Steam Machine was marketed to be somewhat of a beginner machine on par with consoles, but if it’s too much, then it could impact its success

Interesting that the recommended specs kind of line up with what Steam Machine is supposed to be similar to - more or less Onimusha demo ran like a dream on Steam Deck. I'm amped to see devs/studios putting in effort to make their games optimized for older/lower performing hardware

Gabe’s going to trick Geoff into announcing the Steam Machine pricing tomorrow, which will lead to him getting torn apart by the crowd like Dawn of the Dead for saying $3000 for the 256gb version
