Valve has officially announced the pricing and release date for its Steam Machine, with preorders set to open on June 25. The Steam Machine will launch on June 30. The 512GB version, without a Steam Controller, will cost $1,049. Additional configurations include a 2TB model for $1,349, with both models offering options to include the Steam Controller for an increased price.
To secure a preorder, interested buyers must join a waitlist. The window to join this waitlist closes on June 25 at 12 PM ET / 10 AM PT, making swift action necessary for those looking to purchase. Following the waitlist closure, a select number of registered users will be randomly chosen for the opportunity to place an order. This process is a response to previous challenges with Steam Controller preorders and aims to allow Valve to validate sign-ups while giving customers adequate time to complete their purchase.
Preorders are limited to one per household and require users to have made a Steam purchase before April 27. This living room PC runs on Valve's proprietary SteamOS, similar to the portable Steam Deck, and is also capable of functioning as a standard PC. Valve will be implementing a "Steam Machine Verified" badge for games on its platform, mirroring the system used for the Steam Deck.
The Steam Machine features a semi-custom AMD Zen 4 6C/12T CPU capable of up to 4.8 GHz with a 30W TDP, and a semi-custom AMD RDNA3 GPU with 28 Compute Units running at a maximum sustained clock of 2.45GHz, with a 110W TDP. The system includes 16GB of DDR5 RAM alongside 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM. Storage options are either a 512GB NVMe SSD or a 2TB NVMe SSD, with both models also equipped with a high-speed microSD card slot. The device includes an internal power supply compatible with 110-240V AC power. This marks Valve's most significant effort to offer a Steam-branded PC for the living room to date.
