Through press release means, Valve has shared the existence of three new devices with us. This includes, but is not limited to, a console style cube that allows one to play Steam/PC games on a big screen TV.
The devices are as follows: Steam Machine, Steam Frame and Steam Controller.
“We’ve been super happy with the success of Steam Deck,” said Gabe Newell, President of Valve, “and PC gamers have continued asking for even more ways to play all the great titles in their Steam libraries. Our work over the years on other hardware and even more importantly on SteamOS has enabled Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and Steam Frame to do just that.”
Introductions (the Who and What):
Steam Controller:
- Steam Controller shares DNA with Steam Deck, with all the inputs to play all the games on Steam, wherever Steam is.
- High-performance, ergonomic controller with next-generation precision magnetic thumbsticks, full-sized controls, trackpads, gyro, and grip buttons.
- Steam Controller is great wherever Steam is: PC, laptop, Steam Deck, Steam Machine, Steam Frame.
Steam Machine:
- Made for powerful, versatile PC gaming on a big screen; quiet and small enough to fit under your TV, on your desk, or anywhere else you want to game. (It’s a roughly 6-inch (160mm) cube!)
- Runs SteamOS for the same great experience as Steam Deck
- Made to work with Steam Controller, but can pair with your other favorite accessories too.
Steam Frame:
- Stream ALL of your Steam games, VR and non-VR alike
- Comfortable, wireless, lightweight VR designed to give you a new way to experience your entire Steam library
- Full controller input for PC VR and non-VR games
- It’s a PC! Steam Frame is powered by a SnapdragonŽ processor, and runs SteamOS for the same great experience as Steam Deck
Supports standalone play for immersive gaming anywhere
These three devices are designed to work together seamlessly, and will offer the beloved Steam experience. Of course, there will be compatibility with the Steam Deck handheld, too.
All of the above will be available in regions that Steam supports, as well as Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong. They’re expected to release in 2026.
