Insider: the cost of Valve's Steam Machine may fly into space
Don't expect the Steam Machine to be a budget device.According to new rumors, the final cost of a stationary system will most likely exceed $1,000.This was reported by insider Brad Lynch, who has previously repeatedly published reliable information about Valve projects.
The reason for the new comment was the recent news about the increase in prices for Steam Deck.The 512GB version now costs $789, while the 1TB model sells for $949.
The problem is that even before this price increase, Valve predicted that the Steam Machine would cost more than that $949.Now the cost may even fly into space, Lynch wrote.
“The cost of the Steam Machine, which was discussed within Valve some time ago, was already higher than the current updated prices for the Steam Deck.”
Valve originally planned to release the Steam Machine in the first half of 2026.But the crisis in the computer components market, aggravated by the boom in artificial intelligence technologies, has made serious adjustments to these plans.
