- Valve dropped an announcement video showing three new products: the next‑gen Steam Machine, next‑gen Steam Controller and Steam Frame headset, all shipping in early 2026.
- Valve cited user feedback from Steam Deck as the impetus, expanding hardware after the original Steam Machine was widely viewed as a failure years ago.
- Notably, the Steam Frame headset runs SteamOS on a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor and weighs 435 grams, while the Steam Machine features an AMD Zen 4 CPU, 16 GB RAM, and up to 2 TB storage.
- IGN's early hands‑on coverage found mixed results with Cyberpunk 2077 running well but Silent Hill F struggling, while Valve Corporation has not announced prices or new exclusive games.
- The Frame positions Valve directly against existing VR rivals, targeting Meta Quest 3 with similar controllers and a lighter 435 grams design, while Bloomberg reports 40 million daily Steam players.
