Shuhei Yoshida, the former PlayStation boss, has given his two cents on Valve’s Steam Machine, and let’s just say, he’s not rushing to recommend it. So, why does this matter? Well, if you’re considering diving into the world of PC gaming from your couch, his insights might make you think twice.
Yoshida spent some time tinkering with the console-like PC and shared his thoughts. Performance? He called it ‘meh’ and likened it to going back to the PS4 era. While he appreciated the easy-to-use UI and the option to play Steam games on a big screen, the long game boot times and hefty price tag left a sour taste. At least the Steam Controller has a nifty boot-up button!
Although the Steam Machine has its perks, Yoshida’s feedback echoes the sentiments of many who feel it’s a bit overpriced for its performance. Still, for those who miss the days of disc-based gaming, the shift to digital might make the Steam Machine a tempting choice for living room gaming. Keep an eye on potential price drops or new features if you’re still interested.
