The Steam Machine is Valve's new piece of hardware entering the scene as a mini PC built for living room gaming. We love a lot about it, had some issues with it, but overall came away from our time with it feeling very positive. The big question mark has been around the Steam Machine price. After the Steam Deck had a jump in price, we knew that would be a major factor in who to recommend this to for PC gaming. The Steam Machine specs in coordination with how well it works with the Steam Controller being still make this an appealing PC rig to consider. For all things Valve and Steam related, keep it locked to IGN

$1050 for 512gbs without a controller, not exactly what I was hoping for….
Looks like I'll be $1050 richer
The problem is that same $1050 PC example can be expanded upon over time…
is Jackie with us in the room?
Jackie is referenced so much why didn’t she just present this
Why does he keep saying “If you look at it, it’s actually a bargain”. No… It’s not. There is no argument.
Trying to justify the price of this sooooo hard
$1,500 for a 2TB with Controller….. No Thanks Valve

Over 1k for the cheapest option WITHOUT a controller... DOA
The glazing is strong with this one...
Sorry IGN, but 1400 dollars is not a great way to get into PC gaming.
Sony must be so happy sitting in the corner 😂
this review gives me infomercial vibes
i feel like jackie should’ve reviewed it…
Valve has to be in the comments checking the temp on the price drop
Hard pass.
More than PS5 pro and less gaming performance. Pass.
So no controller, over 1k to buy and it's not as powerful as the base current gen consoles? What am I missing here?
No thanks I will stick with my ps5 and series x
