Valve’s “New Steam Hardware” Trio: Still Coming Soon… But How Much?

Remember when Valve dropped three exciting new hardware announcements—Steam Machine, Steam Frame, and Steam Controller—and everyone collectively lost their minds (while briefly forgetting the Steam Deck 2 wasn’t one of them)? Yeah, us too.

Fast forward to early 2026: RAM and storage shortages delayed everything, hopes of a spring launch are now “maybe,” and the real question has shifted from “When?” to “How much is this going to cost?!”

SteamDB just updated the product pages for all three, now listing them as “Coming soon”—a subtle but hopeful nudge that Valve’s finally working toward pre-orders. But those Czech retailer leaks? Ouch: a 512GB Steam Machine priced at ~$950, and the 2TB model near $1,100. Meanwhile, PC components keep climbing in price (that 1TB NVMe? $200), and handheld makers like AYN and Retroid are hiking prices—or axing models entirely.

Valve, if you’re listening: just tell us the price already. Even if it means waiting a few extra weeks—we’ll take the yacht-purchasing hit. 🏖️
