Why Valve’s New Steam Machine Is Taking Direct Aim at the PS5

Valve unveiled three new hardware products: the Steam Machine, Steam Frame VR headset, and a next-gen Steam Controller.

SteamOS 3.8 is a Linux-based update that boosts performance and adds Android game compatibility for the ecosystem.

The Steam Machine is priced around $600–$650 to compete with console pricing while using older components to cut costs.

Multiframe generation on the Steam Deck improves visual smoothness but can increase input lag for fast-paced games.
