Announcing new Steam Hardware from Valve: Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and Steam Frame are coming in 2026. Just like Steam Deck, all three devices are optimized for Steam and designed for players to get even more out of their Steam library.

    Hell, there’s gaming oriented mini PCs that are 1/2-1/3 the size of a PS5 Slim, with double the performance…

    Sure, for triple the price. Steam Machine’s draw here is that it will likely be around PS5, possibly PS5 Pro level performance for around the same price (they said entry level gaming PC, so I’m guessing base price around 600).

    Also, kudos for GabeCube, perfect nickname

      Triple the price? The fuck are you talking about?

      Gaming-oriented mini PCs match the PS5 performance around $300. Around $600-800 you’ll even get dedicated (albeit mobile) GPUs.

        I’d like to see a link to a parts list that provides PS5 level performance for $300 in any form factor.
