We got a console that doesn’t require a subscription for online and can run RDR2 at 60fps before GTA 6. - Plays all Steam games - Supports 4K at 60FPS with FSR - 6x more powerful than Steam Deck - 512GB/2TB SSD - Launches early 2026

😂

It’s basically a console-PC hybrid - Can run any software like Windows, which is compatible with most online games - Supports all desktop and gaming accessories - Streams games to most devices Check details on other new Valve hardware coming early 2026:

"Supports 4K at 60FPS with FSR" In other words it doesn't really support 4K60...

The "no subscription for online" angle is the real differentiator here, not just the performance specs. Console manufacturers spent two decades conditioning users to accept that multiplayer requires a monthly fee, even though the infrastructure costs don't justify it. Breaking that model challenges the entire economic foundation of the console business. The question is whether this can achieve enough market penetration to force Sony and Microsoft to respond.. or if it remains a niche product for people who already understand the value proposition of PC gaming.

Warm up your 3d printers. I need a stand for this.

Gaben: *does nothing* >wins *does something* >wins harder

This might actually be what kills Xbox.

Meanwhile

You telling me I don’t have to bring my pc to the front room anymore

So its less powerful than the 5 year old PS5 (6.4x as powerful as a steam deck)... This thing better be $400.

So basically… it’s a PC that doesn’t wanna admit it’s a PC 💀🎮

And it supports modding

''Plays all Steam games'' Tell that to Apex or BF5/2042/6

Hi queen

I own a SteamDeck, and im very excited about this, but one thing peoples should know is that a lot of the multiplayer games can't be played because of Anticheat not supporting Steam Os and Linux, (WZ, CoD, Battlefield, LoL, Fortnite, Squad.. and more).

It will be fighting against these.

If i got my hands on this beauty ill just mod the case to make it looks like a gamecube

Need a price tag that makes me not buy a mew computer.

Rdr2 is just 🐐

its not a console btw

Omg 🥺

If i could pirate shit onto it ill buy

Keyword being "Supports".

6 times more powerful than the steam deck sounds cool n all, but the Steam Deck runs at 720p and the Steam Machine is aiming for 4k. What's the difference between 720p and 4k? 4k is 9 times more demanding, not 6.. so you'll be playing 4k at lower settings than you do 720p.

Finally something worth buying instead of a fuckin dumb PC.

Steam deck was weak af so the bar is low. You forgot to mention it’s a far lesser machine compared to PS5 and Series X. This machine is only for people who don’t have a decent gaming PC, or any new gen console

Wow flexing to play a 8 year old game is kinda sad.

Yeah, it doesn't require a subscription because it runs SteamOs, and it is technically a PC and not a standard and traditional console. Also, Steam never required a subscription.
