The living room gaming PC is finally here. Whether it's worth the price is a harder question
Highly anticipated: After months of delays and growing anxiety about memory prices, Valve has officially confirmed pricing, configurations, and a June 30 launch date for its Steam Machine. The living-room gaming box starts at $1,049 for a 512GB model and climbs to $1,349 for the 2TB version – a significant premium over the sub-$750 figure that had been anticipated when Valve announced the hardware in November 2025. Getting one at launch, however, is far from guaranteed.
