"The Steam Machine is a revival of Valve's original Steam Machine, a failed attempt to bring PC gaming to the living room almost exactly 10 years ago. Now, it's back, built on the success of the Steam Deck handheld. Valve claims the new Steam Machine is six times more powerful than the Steam Deck, and it's kind of like a compact PC. We don't have exact measurements yet, but some early hands-on impressions have called it similar in size to the Nintendo GameCube."
"Lastly, there's the Steam Frame. This long-awaited VR headset is the follow-up to the Valve Index, which is over six years old. Valve calls the Steam Frame a "streaming-first" VR headset, meant to be connected to a PC for lag-free, wireless gaming. To overcome the problem of latency, the Steam Frame will come with a dedicated wireless module to connect to your PC to ensure all the visual data is transferred as smoothly as possible."
Valve returned to PC hardware with a new Steam Machine console, an updated Steam Controller, and the Steam Frame VR headset. The Steam Machine revives a prior living-room effort, builds on Steam Deck hardware, and is claimed to be six times more powerful than the Deck. Exact dimensions are unavailable, but early impressions compare its size to the Nintendo GameCube. The Steam Machine uses an AMD Zen 4 CPU and offers user-upgradable memory and storage. The Steam Controller includes two haptic trackpads plus sticks, buttons, triggers, and bumpers. The Steam Frame is a streaming-first headset with a dedicated wireless module for low-latency PC streaming and can run standalone on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. The headset weighs 440 grams.
