Following on from the success of the Steam Deck, Valve is creating its very own ecosystem of products. The Steam Frame, Steam Machine, and Steam Controller are all set to launch in the new year. We’ve tried each of them and here’s what you need to know about each one.

“From the Frame to the Controller to the Machine, we’re a fairly small industrial design team here, and we really made sure it felt like a family of devices, even to the slightest detail,” Clement Gallois, a designer at Valve, tells me during a recent visit to Valve HQ. “How it feels, the buttons, how they react… everything belongs and works together kind of seamlessly.”

For more detail, make sure to check out our in-depth stories linked below:

So uh, ahem.

Yes.

Valve can indeed count to three.

    4K 60 with FSR. Of course they don’t mention what level of FSR.

    Should be perfect for 1080p gaming

      Yeah I’m trying to find real hands on reviews especially on 4k TVs without variable refresh. RDNA 3 doesn’t leave me hopeful on games like Indiana Jones. Who knows, maybe eGPUs will be supported

        Not likely as it’s supposed to be an all in one solution

        There might be a single USB4 but everything routes through the CPU IO and there is no chipset.

        Definitely not going to be anything more than performance/quality FSR or native 1080p
