Valve announces a new Steam machine/console, looking somewhere between a GameCube & a half Xbox Series X!
The new Steam machine competitor may attract the new generation of gamers as well as newcomer, and impact sales of other gaming hardware companies…
However, as collectors of physical copies & enthusiasts most likely will want to keep playing the games they own, including the digital ones, which may not all be playable on PC… The reality is, not everyone will be inclined to switch to the Steam box. Also because Steam is free for those who already own a PC or Mac computer, many will stick with their respective brands…
SPECS:
The new Steam machine will be compatible with the VR & Steam Deck, more than six times as powerful as the Steam Deck & support 4K resolutions at 60 FPS. According to the specs, it is designed to support other controllers, accessories, and PC peripherals:
• Steam Controller
• PlayStation 4 Controller
• Xbox 360 Controller
• Xbox One Controller
• Nintendo Switch Pro Controller
• PlayStation 3 Controller
• Any DirectInput gamepad
For the new Steam Controller (a dedicated Valve controller) it supports USB-C tethered play, Bluetooth, and a proprietary 2.4 GHz “Puck” dongle for low latency.
Let's see how it goes!
One thing for sure, this is interesting news.
