Valve has revealed three new hardware offerings: the Steam Frame VR headset with controllers, a new Steam controller, and a next-generation Steam Machine. This announcement comes amidst prior speculation about the devices. The company stated that each is crafted to seamlessly integrate with each other and the broader Steam ecosystem, while maintaining open platform functionality.

These devices will be available in the same regions that currently receive the Steam Deck: the US, Canada, the UK, Europe, and Australia, as well as areas served by Komodo, including Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Although official prices and release dates are yet to be confirmed, Valve aims for the products to begin shipping in early 2026.

Here are the detailed specifications:

Steam Controller:

Compatible with PC, laptop, Steam Deck, Steam Machine, and Steam Frame.

Steam Machine:

A compact device for powerful PC gaming experiences on larger displays, designed to fit conveniently in any setup due to its small size (approximately 6 inches or 160mm).
Operates on SteamOS for a consistent interface like the Steam Deck.
Works with the Steam Controller but also supports other accessories.

Steam Frame:

Streams an entire Steam library, both VR and standard games.

Gabe Newell, head of Valve, remarked, "Our success with Steam Deck made it clear that gamers want more ways to access their libraries. Our previous hardware endeavors and developments in SteamOS laid the groundwork for these new devices."
