Valve revealed its next batch of at-home hardware on Wednesday, including a new take on the Steam Machine, a gaming PC that’s intended to be used like a console. Also revealed were the Steam Frame, Valve’s next VR headset, and a new Steam Controller, all of which are planned to ship in “early 2026.”

Valve has not yet revealed the prices for Steam Machine, Steam Frame, or new Steam Controller, but all are available to wishlist via Steam.

The cube-shaped Steam Machine will come with Steam OS, is “optimized” for playing games, and is designed to sit by your TV like a game console or on your desk like a gaming PC. Because it’s a PC, you can install other apps and programs or a different operating system.

The Steam Machine will come with a semi-custom AMD Zen 4 6C / 12T (up to 4.8 GHz, 30W TDP), a semi-custom AMD RDNA3 28CUs (2.45GHz max sustained clock, 110W TDP), and 16GB DDR5 + 8GB GDDR6 VRAM. There will be two models, a 512 GB and a 2 TB model, both with slots for high-speed microSD cards.

You can head to the Steam Machine’s store page for the full specs, as well as the Steam Frame page for its full spec details.
