Steam Machine Review

Summary

The Steam Machine, at $1049, is a bit too expensive to take on the PS5 or the Xbox Series X. But even at that seemingly high price, it’s still one of the cheapest and almost certainly the easiest way to get into PC gaming right now, and that makes it an easy recommendation.

Valve Talks Steam Machine Price, Performance, and Availability

2 days, 8 hours - Ever since the Steam Machine was revealed in November 2025, Valve was telling us that it was just another option for folks hoping to get into PC gaming. Recently, we got a chance to sit down with Valve Engineers Pierre-Loup Griffais and Yazan Aldehayyat to discuss the Steam Machine, and how it was made. And, well, it sounds like Valve was able to achieve everything it wanted to with the Machine, except for the price.

Steam Machine Review

2 days, 8 hours - The Steam Machine is Valve's new piece of hardware entering the scene as a mini PC built for living room gaming. We love a lot about it, had some issues with it, but overall came away from our time with it feeling very positive. The big question mark has been around the Steam Machine price. After the Steam Deck had a jump in price, we knew that would be a major factor in who to recommend this to for PC gaming. The Steam Machine specs in coordination with how well it works with the Steam Controller being still make this an appealing PC rig to consider.
