Valve just announced a full Steam hardware lineup for early 2026: Steam Machine, Steam Controller, and Steam Frame. In this video, we break down what they actually are and how they stack up against the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, DualSense, Xbox controllers, and PS VR2 without any fanboy bias. We go over real specs, features, and use-cases: 4K 60 FPS gaming in a tiny Steam Machine cube, the ultra-customizable new Steam Controller with magnetic sticks and trackpads, and the Steam Frame VR headset that can stream, run standalone, and plug into your existing PC setup. Most importantly, we talk about why this matters for the future of console and PC gaming, and how competition from Valve could push Sony and Microsoft to level up their next-gen systems.
