Valve has just sent out a press release announcing three new Steam hardware devices.
Recent leaks have emerged and Valve has announced a new Steam Controller, the return of the Steam Machine as a Linux-powered living room gaming console, and the Steam Frame as their long-rumored VR headset.
The new Steam Controller looks similar to the Steam Deck controls without the screen and tech.
The new Steam Machine is running SteamOS and powered by AMD desktop class CPUs and GPUs. This will be twice as much as a traditional (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.
Steam Frame is their lightweight VR headset that is wireless and considered 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 come out in “early 2026.” The exact launch time and price will be shared in the new year.
