AMD’s CEO has confirmed that Valve’s next-generation Steam Machine remains on schedule for an early 2026 launch.
AMD CEO Lisa Su has confirmed that Valve’s long-anticipated Steam Machine revival is progressing as planned, with an early 2026 release window.
A second chance for Steam Machines
The original Steam Machines struggled due to fragmented hardware and unclear positioning. This time, Valve appears focused on a unified, console-like experience powered by custom Advanced Micro Devices silicon.
Why AMD matters

Advanced Micro Devices‘ custom APUs already power consoles and handhelds. Its involvement signals performance parity with current-gen systems while maintaining PC flexibility.
SteamOS maturity
SteamOS has evolved dramatically, particularly through the success of the Steam Deck. That foundation reduces risk significantly.
The PC-console convergence
A new Steam Machine could redefine how players think about living-room gaming—blurring lines between PC freedom and console simplicity.
