Valve’s 2026 Steam Machine & Controller First Look

Valve’s latest reveal isn’t a handheld but a full-on Steam Machine, a desktop-grade console designed to challenge PlayStation and Xbox with PC-level power. Alongside it comes a revamped Steam Controller featuring tons of buttons, customizable modules and even a quirky “Puck” accessory for extra functionality. The first look dives into hardware specs, performance claims and the curious absence of SteamOS out of the box.

By the end, we get price breakdowns and Linus’s own “I’m sold!” verdict on whether Valve’s new hardware truly blurs the line between console and PC or just adds another gadget to their lineup. Either way, it’s a bold play for your living room.
