Valve has confirmed its next wave of gaming hardware, announcing a new Steam Machine, a new Steam Controller, and a new virtual reality headset called Steam Frame. The reveal gives players a clear look at the company’s hardware plans after years of silence on major device updates. The next-gen Steam Machine brings back Valve’s small gaming PC, which was first released 10 years ago. While the original model faced mixed reception, Valve says the new version aims to offer a more flexible option for players who want a compact PC-console setup. Valve says this controller is designed to work smoothly with the updated Steam Machine and with PC setups. The last major reveal is Steam Frame, Valve’s new VR headset. Unlike the Valve Index, Steam Frame does not need a PC connection to work. Valve also clarified that a Steam Deck 2 is not coming yet, saying the timing is not right for a new handheld.
