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 sold out in under an hour on Monday. Resellers on eBay are now charging as much as $400, more than triple the $100 retail price. The high demand highlights its appeal for PC gamers despite the premium cost.

Valve has revealed it receives monthly price quotes from DRAM producers with no option to negotiate. The company must accept the terms or risk losing access to supply entirely. This affects the upcoming Steam Machine, which starts at $1,050.

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.
