Valve has finally dropped the details on its much-anticipated Steam Machine, revealing pricing and a sort-of release date that might surprise you. If you’re dreaming of a console-like PC for your living room, here’s what you need to know.
The Steam Machine will come in four configurations, starting at $1,049 for the 512GB model, going up to $1,428 for the 2TB version with a Steam Controller. Each 2TB option also includes two bonus faceplates. If you’re wondering whether this price tag is worth it, check out our thoughts on whether the Steam Machine is worth the hype.
Valve is using a reservation system for pre-orders, much like they did with the Steam Controller. You’ll need a Steam account in good standing and a prior purchase to snag one. Orders start going out on June 29th, but there’s no hard launch date yet. If you’re curious about the demand, recent reports suggest Valve’s Steam Controller demand is surging, so expect similar interest in the Steam Machine.
If you’re considering jumping on the Steam Machine train, be ready with your game plan by June 25th. Keep an eye on your email for order confirmations and be prepared for potential waitlists.
