Valve’s 2026 Steam Machine & Controller First Look

Valve’s jumping into the console ring with the Steam Machine, a compact living-room PC that packs desktop-grade performance and even teases a mysterious “Puck” streaming add-on. Alongside it comes the redesigned Steam Controller, now sporting dual trackpads, analog sticks, haptic triggers and Wi-Fi 6E—promising PC-style customization with controller comfort.

Is it a console or a PC? Valve’s sticking with SteamOS and Proton under the hood, so it really blurs the line. Details on pricing and availability are still up in the air, but at first glance this duo could give Xbox and PlayStation a serious run for their money.
