TL;DR
- Valve has announced that the Steam Machine and Steam Frame will be released this summer.
- Pricing is still unknown. Recent price increases for the Steam Deck handheld imply both may be quite expensive.
Valve first announced its upcoming pre-built gaming PC, the Steam Machine, late last year. The company’s shared some details about the Steam Machine, but key info about pricing and availability is still unknown. Now, though, Valve has quietly confirmed that it’s planning to launch the Steam Machine in the coming months.
As spotted by Wccftech, Valve announced changes to its Verified program that certifies games as compatible with its hardware. Verified was introduced for the Steam Deck, but with more hardware on the way, the program is expanding to cover games that Valve has verified run on its upcoming Steam Machine PC and Steam Frame VR headset. The company also confirmed that both those new pieces of kit will ship “this summer.”
