Code leak shows Valve Steam Machine will launch with four SKUs

Store-page code reveals Valve is preparing four purchase options for its upcoming Steam Machine, building on earlier leaks of two storage variants and retailer pricing.

A recent code discovery indicates Valve plans to offer its upcoming Steam Machine in four distinct configurations at launch. The device, a compact PC for living room gaming, builds on lessons from the Steam Controller release earlier this month. Scalper protections similar to those used for the controller appear likely to apply.

The leak, found in store page code, shows references to four SKUs for the Steam Machine. Valve had previously confirmed two storage variants: a 512GB model and a 2TB version, with leaked retailer prices around $950 and $1,070 respectively. The remaining two options remain unspecified but could involve bundles with the new Steam Controller, given their intended pairing for couch gaming setups.

Valve's new Steam Controller, successor to the 2015 model and inspired by Steam Deck prototypes, launches May 4 for $99 in the US ($149 CAD, €99 EU, £85 UK, A$149 AU, 419 PLN PL). Featuring dual touchpads, TMR thumbsticks, and a wireless Puck dongle, it offers precise PC gaming while escaping hardware delays affecting Steam Machine and Frame.

Following leaks suggesting Valve's Steam Machine could cost around $950, YouTuber Zac Builds has created a custom PC mimicking the device at that exact price. Using off-the-shelf parts, it delivers strong high-end gaming performance. Valve still has not officially confirmed pricing or specs.

Following its November 2025 announcement and March 2026 reaffirmation, Valve's facilities have received large shipments of gaming consoles from China, signaling progress toward the Steam Machine's launch before the end of 2026. Logistics records verified by The Verge show multiple containers arriving in late April and early May.

Valve has released free CAD files for the exterior shell of its Steam Controller, which sold out rapidly after launch. The files, available under a Creative Commons license, allow users to 3D print custom accessories. The company is working on restocking the $99 gamepad amid delays in related hardware launches.

Valve has introduced a reservation programme for its newly launched Steam Controller following a rapid sell-out that frustrated many buyers. The system opened on 8 May at 10am Pacific Time, allowing users to secure a place in line for future stock.

Following last week's announcement, tech analyst Moore’s Law Is Dead estimates Microsoft's hybrid PC-console Project Helix could retail for $999 to $1,200, based on high-end hardware costs aiming to surpass the PS6 in performance.

New text strings in a recent Steam client update suggest Valve is developing a framerate estimator tool. The feature would allow users to view estimated performance charts for games based on their hardware configurations and data from other Steam users. It builds on Valve's efforts to improve game compatibility information.
