"The holiday season is almost upon us, but the new gear on gamers' wish lists won't arrive until next year. Valve Corporation has pre-announced a range of three new gadgets to entice gamers, which will all arrive at some point in 2026. There's a standalone gaming PC, the Steam Machine, a new generation of the Steam Controller, and an Arm-powered VR headset, the Steam Frame."
"The Steam Store's product page has tech specs, and the machine is a black cuboid, measuring 6 x 6.5 x 6.1 inches (152 x 162.4 x 156 mm). It will have a "semi-custom" AMD Zen 4 processor, with six cores/twelve threads, and an RDNA3 GPU with 28 compute units, coupled with 16 GB of DDR5 main memory and 8 GB of GDDR6 VRAM. It has five USB ports, Ethernet, DisplayPort 1.4, and HDMI 2 outputs, Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3."
Valve announced three gaming products slated for 2026: a standalone Steam Machine PC, a new Steam Controller generation, and an ARM-powered Steam Frame VR headset. The Steam Machine is a compact retail Linux PC running SteamOS 3, designed to remain an open PC allowing installation of other apps or operating systems. Hardware specifications include a semi-custom AMD Zen 4 six-core/twelve-thread CPU, an RDNA3 GPU with 28 compute units, 16 GB DDR5 system memory, 8 GB GDDR6 VRAM, Wi‑Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, multiple USB ports, Ethernet, DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2, and choice of 512 GB or 2 TB SSD. Valve previously announced Steam hardware in the 2010s but a consumer Steam Machine did not emerge then.
