[Expired]Valve Enters Console Market | Valve Builds New Ecosystem
Remember that hard-to-get Steam Deck from a few years ago? Now Valve is stirring up the gaming world again—launching three new hardware products at once: Steam Frame (wireless VR headset), Steam Machine (living room console), and Steam Controller (next-gen controller). In short: Valve is officially entering the console market! Click to see details>>
- 🎮 Steam Machine — Bringing Gaming Consoles to Your Living Room
Shaped like a small black brick, it features an AMD Zen 4 processor + RDNA 3 graphics, with performance six times more powerful than the Steam Deck!
- Runs SteamOS, supports "one-click sleep/wake"
- Connects wirelessly with up to 4 Steam Controllers
- Seamlessly integrates with Steam Deck & Frame for a complete ecosystem experience
💡Expected to launch in 2026, price TBD, but Valve has always been generous—considering the Deck's pricing strategy, this could be another incredibly good value!
- 🥽 Steam Frame — Goodbye Cables: Valve Shows Meta How VR is Done
Equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, 2160×2160 resolution + Pancake optics, weighing only 435g—even lighter than the Meta Quest 3.
- Supports wireless PC streaming + standalone operation
- Features new-generation Steam Frame controllers with fingertip detection
- Eye tracking + smart bandwidth compression for clearer visuals and lower latency
🧠 It's not called Index 2 because it's more than just a VR device—it's a completely new gaming platform.
- 🕹️ Steam Controller — The Feel is Back, Throw Away Your Mouse!
Valve's comeback, and they finally got it right!
- Dual joysticks + dual touchpads + gyroscopic aiming
- Anti-drift TMR joysticks for better precision
- 2.4GHz low-latency connection + Bluetooth + Type-C charging
- "Puck Base" connects up to 4 controllers simultaneously and serves as a charging dock
Get those headshots from your couch—FPS players rejoice!
Initial launch regions include: US, Canada, UK, Germany, France, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Australia and more, matching the Steam Deck's distribution. Official release date: early 2026.
Valve is truly building an ecosystem! Deck for portability, Machine for the living room, Frame for VR, and Controller to perfect the experience. If the pricing is consumer-friendly, we might see a "Steam Nintendo Universe" by 2026!

: No need for the console, but the controller is a must-buy. For the glasses, it depends on the gaming ecosystem. 主机没需求,手柄必买,眼镜看游戏生态。
: I already have a computer connected to the TV for gaming, so this feels a bit redundant. It's probably targeted at PS and Xbox players. 自己就有部電腦插電視打遊戲的, 這個感覺有點多餘, 估計是針對ps xbox玩家
: The host said it's an entry-level PC, so it might be around $599 to $799. 主机说是入门级pc、 所以可能在 $599 和$799
: This box looks familiar
这个盒子眼熟啊
: It's really hard to price this console because it's essentially a PC with an RX 9060 graphics card. If priced too high, gamers aren't fools—they'd just buy a PC and install Steam OS instead. If priced too low, since it's still a PC, selling it cheaper than what regular PC manufacturers offer would mean losing money on every unit sold. Plus, there's no way to recoup costs by selling high-priced exclusive games like Sony or Nintendo do. 感觉这个主机很难定价,因为就是个装着RX9060显卡的pc,定价高了玩家又不傻,直接去买pc装个steam os就是了,定低了它本身是个pc,比普通pc厂家卖的便宜就是卖一台亏一台,也不存在像索尼任天堂那样卖高价独占游戏来回本
: It might depend on the number of pre-orders. A large volume of orders could help reduce some of the hardware costs. 可能要看预订量,订单多能压下来一部分硬件价格
: Rnda3, 28cu, these are the specs of the RX 7500. The original TDP is 130W, but this one only has 110W, probably underclocked.
Rnda3, 28cu,这是rx7500的规格,原厂tdp给了130w,这个只有110w,估计还降频了。
