How to understand Valve's hardware lineup for early 2026 begins with recognizing just how ambitious this next wave of Steam devices is. Building on the momentum of the Steam Deck, Valve announced the Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and Steam Frame during its recent Steam Hardware Announcement video, showing a unified vision for a multi-device ecosystem.
