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.
