Valve announces 3 new Steam hardware devices: Steam Machine, VR headset Steam Frame, and a new Steam controller

Valve has announced three new hardware products: a new Steam Frame VR headset and controllers, a new Steam controller, and a next-gen Steam Machine.

While rumors of the systems have been circulating online, Valve has now formally pulled back the curtain on the new tech, announcing that “just like Steam Deck, all these devices are designed to work together, optimized for Steam while continuing to operate as open platforms.”

All three products will ship to the same regions currently able to purchase Steam Decks – US, Canada, UK, Europe, and Australia – as well as regions covered by Komodo, which include Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. While specific pricing and launch dates have yet to be finalized, the “goal” is to start shipping in “early 2026.”

Here’s the full specs:

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 SnapdragonŽ processor, and runs SteamOS for the same great experience as Steam Deck
• Supports standalone play for immersive gaming anywhere

“We’ve been super happy with the success of Steam Deck and PC gamers have continued asking for even more ways to play all the great titles in their Steam libraries,” said Gabe Newell, president of Valve.

“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.”
