The Steam Hardware family officially expands in early 2026.

tl;dw/r:

3 new pieces of hardware revealed coming “2026”.

  1. Steam Frame is a standalone VR headset. Release “early 2026”. ARM processor. Runs SteamOS. (Yes this translates games made for x86 on Windows into Linux on ARM using Proton and FEx). Inside out tracking. Up to 144Hz. 2160x2160. Can also run Android APKs. Includes 6GHz stick for wireless streaming.

  2. Steam Controller. Basically what we’ve been expecting. Just took the controls off the Steam Deck and bolted them to a controller. TMR magnetic thumbsticks. Has a weird like magnetic charging/pairing dock thingy that sticks on the back, but can still just be charged with USB-C.

  3. Steam Machine. Cubic, softball-sized mini PC (like, literally its just a computer, much like the Steam Deck). AMD GPU. Obviously runs SteamOS as well. No word on HDMI-CEC that I can find. 300W power supply. 6x more powerful than Steam Deck.

I’m going to keep updating this thread with links as I find them. Add more in the comments.

    I needed a new gaming PC specifically not Windows. ✅

    It feels like my PSVR2 is lacking new games and support as the days go buy. ✅

    My original Steam Controller is on its way out and I love the controls of my Steam Deck. ✅

    Guess they knew exactly what I needed.

      Oh boy, if you were only playing PSVR2 games, you’re in for a treat with PCVR (Not even mentioning the mods for existing games).

      Heads up if you do want to save some money, some crafty people managed to get the PSVR2 headset to work under Linux as well as Windows, but your milage may vary compared to a native headset.
