In 2012, The Verge<\/em> broke the news<\/a> that Valve was making a game console. Gabe Newell himself dished on the company’s grand plans<\/a>. By 2015, the “Steam Machines” had utterly flopped<\/a>. But Valve never stopped quietly working on the idea. The Steam Deck handheld became the seed<\/a> for a grand reboot of Valve’s console and headset ambitions. And now, Steam Machines are back.<\/p>\n\n

Hello from Valve headquarters! We just saw the Steam Machine, the PC game console that’s not much bigger than a box of Kleenex. It’s coming alongside the sequel to the Steam Controller, the most customizable gamepad ever made. It’s like a Steam Deck for your TV with far more performance — enough to replace an Xbox or PlayStation in your living room, perhaps? But might be priced more like a PC… #valve<\/a> #steammachine<\/a> #steamcontroller<\/a> #gaming<\/a> #gametok<\/a> <\/p> ♬ original sound – The Verge – The Verge<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> \n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n

The new Steam Machine<\/a> is for your TV, the Steam Controller<\/a> is for your hands, and the Steam Frame<\/a> is for your face— and they might just be the start. The company hinted there might be more SteamOS hardware later on.<\/p>\n\n

We’re tracking Valve’s rebooted hardware plans in this Verge<\/em> StoryStream. And if you want to know how we got here, it also contains our original Steam Machine coverage — going back over a decade.<\/p>\n\n
