Steam Reveals New Hardware Devices

This sounds like some great choices.

The Steam Hardware family is growing! Valve (Steam, Steam Deck, Half-Life, CS2) is pleased to announce the addition of three new hardware devices to expand the ways Steam users can play.

Coming in early 2026:

• Steam Controller
• Steam Machine
• Steam Frame (VR headset + controllers)

Just like Steam Deck all these devices are designed to work together, optimized for Steam while continuing to operate as open platforms. 

“We’ve been super happy with the success of Steam Deck,” said Gabe Newell, President of Valve, “and PC gamers have continued asking for even more ways to play all the great titles in their Steam libraries. Our work over the years on other hardware and even more importantly on SteamOS has enabled Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and Steam Frame to do just that.”

Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and Steam Frame are optimized for gaming on Steam and designed for players to get even more out of their Steam Library.

Introductions (the Who and What):

• Steam Controller:
  • Steam Controller shares DNA with Steam Deck, with all the inputs to play all the games on Steam, wherever Steam is.
  • High-performance, ergonomic controller with next-generation precision magnetic thumbsticks, full-sized controls, trackpads, gyro, and grip buttons.
  • Steam Controller is great wherever Steam is: PC, laptop, Steam Deck, Steam Machine, Steam Frame.

• Steam Machine:
  • Made for powerful, versatile PC gaming on a big screen; quiet and small enough to fit under your TV, on your desk, or anywhere else you want to game. (It’s a roughly 6-inch (160mm) cube!)
  • Runs SteamOS for the same great experience as Steam Deck
  • Made to work with Steam Controller, but can pair with your other favorite accessories too.

• Steam Frame:
  • Stream ALL of your Steam games, VR and non-VR alike
  • Comfortable, wireless, lightweight VR designed to give you a new way to experience your entire Steam library
  • Full controller input for PC VR and non-VR games
  • It’s a PC! Steam Frame is powered by a Snapdragon® processor, and runs SteamOS for the same great experience as Steam Deck
  • Supports standalone play for immersive gaming anywhere

Where: All three products will ship in all the same regions we currently ship Steam Deck (US, CA, UK, EU, AU) as well as regions covered by KOMODO: Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.

When: Our goal is to start shipping in early 2026, with specific launch timing and pricing to be shared sometime after the first of the year.
