Steam Machine was announced alongside a new VR controller and headset and although it looks like an Xbox series new hardware from Valve there will be one PC-like price.
The information comes through a company spokesperson, which may already make us want to see PVP similar to other consoles such as PS5 and/or Nintendo Switch 2.
According to Linus Sebastian, who was talking to him at Linus Tech Tips at a launch event, this could mean that They do not assume production costs to reduce consumer prices.

He price of consoles in Spain It’s 500-550 euros for Standard PlayStation 5799.90 in the case of the PS5 Pro and 599.99 euros for Series X; both increased their prices within 5 years.
“Valve was unable to provide concrete numbers due to “rapidly changing market conditions”, but they will obviously become clear when the Steam Machine launches during Q1 2020, alongside the new Steam Controller.-Sebastião said.
“However, they gave me a clue: they said that, although they expect it to be a PC with a very competitive price, it will be priced like a PC and not like a console where games subsidize the purchase of hardware.“.
“They didn’t say why, but if I had to guess, I’d say it’s partly to avoid trampling on margin opportunities from potential partners for Steam games and software, but also because they recognize that the Steam Machine is a full PC.
Therefore, there is no guarantee that, for example, a corporate purchase of 10,000 units of these devices will translate into the sale of a single game, so they need to protect the sustainability of their core business.“.
Steam Machine is a console-style cube of around 15 centimeters, which allows us play PC games on TV. The only thing clear now is that Valve is reluctant to offer an adjusted price.
The price of the Steam Machine, how much do you think it will cost?
Valve guarantees that it will offer “4K 60 FPS gaming with FSR thanks to a semi-custom desktop-class AMD CPU and GPU“and powerful enough for cloud gaming and other devices like the Steam Deck.
The company guarantees that this will be confirmed next year, 2026, and several analysts are certain that initial success will largely depend on its launch cost.
Now that you have everything clear, what do you think Steam Machine price Valve has in mind?
