"The Steam Machine is a specific living room gaming PC coming out in early 2026. It's not your typical Windows PC. The 6-inch cube is barely bigger than a box of Kleenex (bless you), can come bundled with a wireless controller that connects directly to the box, and runs Windows games on the pick-up-and-play SteamOS. It's basically a game console."
"So the Steam Machine is just a big stationary Steam Deck for the TV? Basically! Valve says it has six times the performance, will run all the same games, and runs the exact same SteamOS underneath. Valve says you can even pop the microSD card out of your Steam Deck, put it in the Steam Machine, and your games should just work."
Valve plans a major 2026 hardware push including a Steam Machine living-room gaming PC and a new gaming headset. The Steam Machine is a 6-inch cube console-like PC running SteamOS and Windows games, bundled optionally with a wireless controller that connects directly to the box. Valve claims six times the Steam Deck's performance while running the same SteamOS and supporting the same games and microSD transfers from a Steam Deck. Dimensions are 152mm tall (148mm without feet), 162.4mm deep, and 156mm wide, similar in size to the Nintendo GameCube. Front plates are swappable for customization. Price has not been finalized, but Valve positions it near entry-level PC pricing and aims to be affordable and competitive.
