Steam Deck Minus the Screen: Valve Announces New Steam Machine, Controller Hardware
Valve plans to ship the Steam Machine with AMD Zen4 CPU and RDNA3 GPU in 2026, boasting six times Steam Deck’s power and 16GB DDR5 with 8GB GDDR6 memory.
- As part of a big day for Valve hardware, Valve announced a return to Steam Machine and Steam Controller, with both set to ship in 2026.
- Building on Steam Deck demand, Valve aims to bring PC gaming to the TV after the original Steam Machine failed commercially.
- Under the hood, specs show a semi‑custom AMD Zen 4 6C/12T CPU and a semi‑custom RDNA3 GPU with 28 CUs, supporting 4K at 60 FPS with FSR.
- Valve will sell both devices separately and bundled, with the Steam Machine featuring a built-in 2.4GHz radio and an optional Steam Controller Puck supporting four controllers and USB-C charging.
- Competitors include hardware like Microsoft's next‑gen Xbox, and reviewers will demand hands‑on testing for performance, thermals, and frame rates; Valve also teased the Steam Frame VR headset recently.
