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.

    The most disappointing part is the rumoured pricing of “aiming to be under $1000”.

    $1 is “under $1000”.

    at $999, even for the 1TB model, this is a really tough sell.
    I’m not sure I’d get one, even though I love what they’re doing, and want to support it.

    I really hope, that the “under $1000” is a misunderstanding from the “cheaper than index”, which currently sells for 539€ (~$625, incl tax) without controller and base stations.
    That would be a great price.
    I can just hope it’s nearer to that than the $1000.

      Well the primary competition for the Frame, especially with the hardware limitations, is definitely the Quest lineup rather than the new Android XR headsets or the AVP. So pricing should reflect that.

      IMO anything above $600-650 will be a super hard sell for anyone but hardcore Valve fanboys.
