Steam controller and a new Steam VR set. I may be spending a lot of money in the near future
This announcement is detrimental to my financial health.
Alright, the VR set I’ve been waiting for!
What I love about Valve is you can tell they are clearly taking stuff they learned from their earlier products (Deck, Index, Controller, Machine) to combine it and make it better.
Yess, the steam controller!
If they sell it as a standalone I might pick one up :3
I imagine they’ll sell them as a bundle and separately.
I like this one better than the last, but it still looks too bulky to be comfortable.
It looks like they basically just slapped the Deck controls into a smaller form factor.
That can’t not work.
I’d have to see it in someone’s hands tbh :3
It doesn’t look too bad tho imo
but it still looks too bulky to be comfortable.
That’s what people said about the original Xbox controller, but that thing was very comfortable.
Also, the Steam Deck itself looks huge and bulky at first glance, but it feels wonderful to hold and use.
The most exciting thing here, for me, is Steam OS on ARM (Frame) with x86->ARM translation for old/light games
I wonder if their Fex software will be extensible to other devices and open sourced.
They are referring to FEX-Emu, which is already open source (MIT).
I think the idea is that they will adopt it and contribute some development, similar to what they did with proton.
FUCK YESSS
I’ll get 4 controllers and a Steam Machine for my kids.
Steam machine
Should have called it The Turbine
Gabecube
I was just thinking of a hardware upgrade since Steam Deck struggles with Expedition 33. I don’t have much space (or experience) for desktops and gaming laptops are scams. I do have a TV though and would also gladly stream to Steam Deck, so I think this is just perfect.
.
Fuck yes.
Is this Project Deckard?
NOled :(

Or release date? Or even when preorders go live?
Nothing yet beyond just 2026
The voiceover in the announcement video does state the three new devices are shipping in early 2026
