Here we go, folks. After months of waiting, rumors, and plenty of speculation, Valve has officially revealed the pricing for its upcoming Steam Machine. And if you are not sitting down, you might want to be, because this thing is not cheap.
The Steam Machine will start at $1,049 for the 512GB model, while the 512GB model bundled with the new Steam Controller will cost $1,128. If you want more storage, the 2TB model will run $1,349, and the 2TB version bundled with the Steam Controller will set you back $1,428. So yeah, anyone who was expecting console pricing for this thing was setting themselves up for disappointment.
As for what you’re getting, the Steam Machine features a semi-custom AMD Zen 4 6-core / 12-thread CPU, a semi-custom AMD RDNA 3 GPU with 28 compute units, 16GB of DDR5 memory, 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM, NVMe storage, microSD support, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, Gigabit Ethernet, and SteamOS 3. In other words, this is Valve taking another shot at bringing PC gaming into the living room, only this time it has the Steam Deck’s momentum behind it.
Sadly, thanks...
