Nice work Gaben!

When can I order!?

We got steam machine 2 before the heavy update

Those are both still supported. I use my original Steam Controller every day and it works great

the steam controller actually did pretty well and got brushed away because scuf (i think?) sued them for "patent infringement" over the back paddle inputs, which they somehow won. valve was basically forced to cancel the original steam controller. everything else was cancelled because they FLOPPED

You guys cooked so hard, epic stuff!

I just realized something. As Steam Frame will be running Linux, we'll be able to run things like OBS on it. Recording and streaming straight from the headset with all the streamer overlays you want!

I guess that would be awesome to play VR #HentaiGames with this awesome hardware!!!

Every single time:

If only they had some game title to show off this new hardware... something that could get lots of attention and help them gain traction while also living up to expectations.... if only

Dang I think consoles are dead for me if the price is competitive. No I don’t play multiplayer games so PS Plus isn’t a factor.

Can you make sure the Steam Machine's intro animation links to the logo before and the UI after, kinda like these transitions I added to the GabeCube:

I am so sorry about what’s happening here in the uk Just know that the people who are doing this to you probably don’t own a single steam game and that they are acting like 14 million people want your throats (we do not)

@callisto-socal-af.bsky.social Wanted to share a bit on this—

Wishlisted. Can't wait to catch 'em all!

I'd pay a whisker more than console prices for this, but I'm a bit spooked by "competitive with a similar spec PC" talk on the pricing. Definitely won't be dropping four figures on it, if it comes to that.

Heeeck yeah! I'm hyped for the Steam Frame!

can't tell whether or not this is a joke so just in case it isn't: that would be copyright infringement

Better be actually AFFORDABLE

Ok but... #IwantHalfLife3

@unity.com finally time to get OpenXR Linux support working?

Awesome announcement! I wonder though how the hand controllers are tracked by the Frame. Will they have trouble if you move your hands behind your head or your back?

Linux support coming from big corpos. YES

Gah you didn't actually just announce the long awaited 'Deckard' headset with LCD visuals and 110 FOV (and no AR at all, which is a LOT of fun..)?! Bah..... been waiting sooooooooo long for you Valve, so so long..... (since buying the ((brilliant) Index actually....) 😠

Finally, a PC: Personal Console

Well, technically the Frame includes the HMD, controllers (2x) and dongle, so it's actually six hardware reveals.

And several of them run Steam OS*3*!

It feels like witchcraft

As long as you don't put one, one and one together, it won't explode, so it's probably fine

Honestly, what a smart decision ~ we love you.

God i want that steam frame so i can get this damn meta headset outta my life... Valve, give us a reasonable price on this VR headset and my wallet is yours! (Also eyetracking, big win, headset may not be smaller than the BSB2 but i'm sure as hell more likely to buy this than the BSB2E)

Guys, do you have any plans for Brazil? Until this day, the Steam Deck has never been released officially here :/

my son is gonna want a frame you shoumd give me one

gg

There it is, my next generation of technological treats. ❤️

Not out the box, but has a slot for a future Valve made face tracker or a third party one

eye tracking! no face tracking tho

I'm buying it. All of it.

The best part for me is no subscription to play online.

Gaming is healing.

Im glad y'all are actually doing dual-analog on on the Steam controller this time One stick and nothing but touchpads otherwise turned me off the last one

Do we know if the streaming will only work through Wi-Fi or is the USB port also used for this?

Please, please, PLEASE make this available in the Brazilian market with localized prices! We love you to death, Valve, but having to import the Deck from shady stores with ridiculous prices isn't easy. I need that GabeCube with 2 Steam controllers 😭

Okay I love the new improved Steam Machine, but please figure out faster user switching on SteamOS, it's way too slow as it is (my understanding is because of env swapping, which is of course heavy handed, not sure if there's much room for improvement). 🥺 Awesome announcement, great work y'all! 🍻

Please tell us that they're gonna be cheaper than current consoles

THREE THINGS?!?!?

for the Frame, they've said they want it to be less than the Index. which is not very specific especially since there were 3 different Index bundles, and one of them included lighthouses, which Frame doesn't need. so most likely it'll be either less than $999, or less than $749.

Fluctuating markets kinda fucking us up here. Ahem trump tariffs. Valve knows affordability is a major selling point though and I guarantee a bundle of the frame machine and controller.

I'd rather not, thank you, we can dream for a few more days.

Holy shit

Assuming you can get any chips for them with the AI industry eating every scrap of silicon they can get their filthy hands on.

Might consider offering a Steam Machine without storage? I have a 4TB PCIe 5 NVMe spare, so I would not need any storage already built-in …

BETTER CALL IT THE GABECUBE AND THE GABE FRAME. AND A COMPANION CUBE SKIN

ah, thank you. Missed that on the first pass.

*measures her glasses* 13cm. Guess I'll be fine in case I ever wanna test/use them.

Can I haz pls!

@valvesoftware.com i have a suggestion that could benefit you and everyone who builds pcs or is a console company: BUY DDR4s!!

On god imma play half life alyx some day

perfect timing too just after I buy a PSVR2 to replace my bound-to-fail-with-no-replacement-cable-to-be-found Reverb G2

thats a new controller i'll get as it seems like c:

💵💵💵

😀...🔥🔥🔥...😍...👏👏

Its GabeCube)

Imagine playing Half-Life 3 on your Steam Machine using your Steam Controller

@telephonewire.ca

I still love my old Steam Controller store.steampowered.com/app/353370/S...

hmm, interesting. i actually know nothing about vrc's anticheat, so i guess that is a concern. hopefully it will work. but either way, at least the pcvr streaming sounds like it will be excellent. so for me at least, no standalone vrc wouldn't be a major loss. in fact i'd prefer pcvr vrc anyway.

Journalists tested on video only pcvr streaming yet, no standalone showcase (but for obvious reasons not all cpu functions/libraries got into FEX yet, and thats why developers will need to report what they need to make their games work if i got it right) Bigger question how FEX deals with cpu id

Biggest thing I want for the Steam Frame. Is a way to make it wired to my pc & able to use my bay stations. I hope there's going to be an option to swap out the head strap & make it a wired connection. Even if I have to pay an extra $200 for it. I really hope that's an option with the add ons.

Those specs are a little concerning, but it all boils down to price...

Will this hardware ship to Mexico?

A tracker is like $90-100. If you have base stations and enough trackers to where it would be an issue, you can likely afford one.

That controller is balls.

To my knowledge it shouldn’t, but I’m just someone on the internet. @valvesoftware.com ?

Not this steam machine??? FYI: Lady is not included

why does this remind me of "the cube of alien knowledge" meme when area 51 was a thing

The G A B E N C U B E

The Steam Machine looks like something that could be used by the average person and avoid the typical problems of PC gaming. I love it!

Gabecube

SOLD

Do a steampunk special edition headset and I MIGHT consider it.

Built in LiPo batteries are basically the same but not consumer replaceable (in theory). What's keeping you from using rechargeable AA batteries? Maybe they can even be charged in-place?

I’m sold on the controller 100% grabbing that controller for a dedicated PC controller

I love everything about all of these! Hope the pricing is reasonable.

Congrats on your new blue check 🎉

surprise valve announcement before Beyond The Spiderverse

gleam.io/xHNUo/vw-ass...

Thanks, I wasn't aware of this bullshit!

there's a display port on the steam machine as well, apparently.

Let's fucking go!

GIVE US A GABE CUBE SKIN FOR THE GAME MACHINE, PLEEAAASSEEEEEEEE

It’s here it’s here it’s here it’s here it’s here it’s-

Can't wishlist it in Germany as the store page is region locked.😠

It's been so funny to see the console people in the comment sections of articles being all like "yeah but it's going to cost too much and probably doesn't do 4k or have good specs" Imagine being so attached to console gaming you lose the ability to google publically available system specs 💀

You crazy bastards I’m in!

Steam Cube please

The Steam Machine couldn't have came at a perfect time. My bedroom is tiny, so that thing i can fit in my living space. No more gaming laptops for me #Steam

The new Steam Machine looks so freaking adorable. I think we'll see a few of them at LAN parties in the coming years.
