Valve just sent over the press release announcing three new Steam Hardware devices.
The recent leaks have panned out and Valve just announced a new Steam Controller, the return to Steam Machine as a Linux-powered living room gaming console, and Steam Frame as their long rumored VR headset.
The new Steam Controller looks similar to the Steam Deck controls sans the screen and tech.
The new Steam Machine is running SteamOS and powered by an AMD desktop class CPU and GPU. It will double as a conventional (Linux-based) PC. The Steam Machine uses a semi-custom AMD Zen 4 based SoC with RDNA3 graphics and 16GB of RAM and 8GB of GDDR6 vRAM.
The Steam Frame is their lightweight VR headset that is wireless and said to be comfortable. The Steam Frame is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 ARM64 SoC with 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM and running SteamOS.
These new Steam devices will be coming out in “early 2026”. Exact launch timing and pricing will be shared in the new year.
