Valve’s 2026 Steam Machine and Controller First Look

Valve just dropped its Steam Machine console and a brand-new Steam Controller, packing PC-grade performance into a living-room box that wants to outshine PlayStation and Xbox. In this first-look, we dig into the hardware specs, ergonomic tweaks (hello, mysterious “Puck” attachment), and whether it’s really a console or just a PC in disguise.

Between price rumors, controller latency improvements, and SteamOS vs. Windows chatter, the hosts walk us through all the highs and hurdles. By the end, they’re nearly sold—if Valve nails the software and keeps the cost reasonable, this could be the hybrid gaming powerhouse we’ve been waiting for.
