TL;DR: Valve’s upcoming Steam Machine, set for release in 2026, aims to combine affordability and ease of use. Recent leaks suggest prices around $950 for a 512GB model and $1,070 for 2TB, comparable to high-end devices, though official pricing remains unconfirmed amid memory supply challenges.

    This is clickbait. Valve didn’t use third-party resellers with the Steam Deck for anti-scalping reasons, and it’s unlikely they would for the Steam Deck as well. I’m surprised how many news outlets are leaning into this.

    I’m not saying the Steam Machine won’t be that price, though I certainly hope it won’t be. I’m just saying we shouldn’t take a random posting from a random Czech website at face value, considering Valve’s established business model.
