Valve’s 2026 Steam Machine & Controller First Look

Valve just broke cover with a full-blown “Steam Machine” console and a puck-style “Steam Controller” that aim to marry PC power with couch-friendly simplicity. Both promise beefy performance, next-level haptics and fully integrated SteamOS, so you can dive into your entire library without ever touching a keyboard and mouse.

The controller’s odd puck shape hides precise gyros, customizable buttons and rumble zones designed to feel more immersive than your average gamepad. Pricing and release details are still under wraps, but Valve’s pitching this duo as a straight-up rival to PlayStation and Xbox—only with the flexibility and upgrades you expect from a PC.
