The coverage on Valve’s new Steam Hardware lineup is absolutely wild!

PC Gamer is ecstatic—calling it a huge leap forward for VR. And honestly, I believe it. I own an Oculus, and something desperately needed to push VR ahead—and it sure wasn’t going to be the Apple Vision Pro.

Kotaku, meanwhile, is hand-wringing over the possibility that the new Steam Machine could cost more than a PS5. But let’s be real—the PS5 is just a console, not a PC, and it’s already five years old. Valve says it’ll be priced closer to an entry-level desktop. Think Mac Mini, not PS5.

Rock Paper Shotgun got hands-on time and confirmed it’s easily upgradable. Even more than the Steam Deck, which which is damn upgradable. That alone makes it a stronger buy than a PS5—you can’t upgrade a PS5. They even ran Black Myth: Wukong at 60 FPS.

Absolutely riveting coverage all around.
