Valve sets summer release for Steam Machine

Valve has announced that its Steam Machine and Steam Frame will launch this summer. The company shared the update in a blog post on June 4 without confirming pricing details.

Valve revealed the summer 2026 release window for the Steam Machine and Steam Frame in a developer-focused blog post. The hardware was first unveiled in November 2025 with an initial target of early 2026, but it faced a delay announced on Feb. 4. The Steam Machine is a compact gaming PC designed for living room use with a TV. It will join the Steam Frame VR headset and the Steam Controller, which became available on May 4 for $99. Ongoing global memory shortages have raised hardware costs industrywide. Valve has not set a price for the new devices and noted that component prices and availability continue to affect planning.
