Rejoice! Valve has officially resurrected the Steam Machine, a compact gaming PC made to be played on your living room TV. Not only does it (supposedly!) run quietly, but it can also handle 4K gaming at 60 frames per second with AMD’s FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution) upscaling technology. Seems like Valve’s really throwing its hat into the ring as far as hybrid gaming consoles go, yeah? The cube-like device, which stands about 6 inches tall, will run Valve’s Linux-based SteamOS 3. According to Valve, it’s “six times more powerful than the Steam Deck.” With the Proton compatibility layer built in, it can run most Windows games natively—a huge deal because compatibility issues were the main culprit behind the failure of the 2015-era Steam Machines (back before the Proton layer was even a thing). The newest version of the Steam Machine will have two configurations: 512GB and 2TB. Inside, it’s got a custom AMD Zen 4 chip with 6 cores and 12 threads, plus a custom RDNA 3 GPU. Translation? You can expect console-level power in a wee little package.  Valve also showed off a new Steam Controller and the Steam Frame, a standalone VR headset running a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. No word on price yet, but all three should hit sometime in early 2026.
