Steam Machine (computer)
The Steam Machine is a small form factor gaming computer by Valve, designed to operate SteamOS and the digital Steam storefront, and provide a home game console-like experience. Unlike Valve's previous attempt with the original Steam Machine concept, where it had established minimum specifications for other hardware vendors to build towards, the new Steam Machine is manufactured directly by Valve, though users may still build their own equivalent using SteamOS. The Steam Machine was announced on November 12, 2025, and was released on June 29, 2026, as part of a broader Steam hardware lineup, including the next-generation Steam Controller and the Steam Frame.
