Valve’s 2026 Steam Machine & Controller First Look

Valve’s finally stepping into the big console ring with the Steam Machine—a console-like PC packing desktop-grade performance that might leave PlayStation and Xbox in the dust. It’s got a slick design, powerful internals, and even a new “Puck” accessory to bridge the gap between couch play and precision PC controls.

Alongside it, the revamped Steam Controller brings updated ergonomics, programmable inputs, and haptic feedback that feel right at home in your living room. We dive into specs, price (it’s surprisingly wallet-friendly), and the status of SteamOS—so the big question remains: is this a pure console or just a PC in disguise?
