For months, Valve has been silent about the future of Steam Machine, its highly anticipated hardware proposal designed for those seeking to play PC games without complications or exorbitant prices. In a context where building a gaming PC has become increasingly expensive, any news related to this device generates immediate interest among gamers.

Now, without a direct announcement from Valve, it has been AMD that has provided new clues about the project’s timeline. And it has done so in an unusual but very revealing scenario: an official conference with investors.

Steam Machine could arrive in the first half of 2026

During AMD’s latest financial presentation, its CEO, Lisa Su, not only discussed the future of Xbox and new strategic agreements but also referred to the hardware being developed in collaboration with Valve. According to her statements, the new Steam Machine is expected to arrive in the first part of 2026, without specifying an exact date, but clearly pointing to a launch before summer.

Although no specific day or month was mentioned, the tone of the intervention suggests that the project is in an advanced stage. If this scenario materializes, Valve could announce the price, final specifications, and release date in the coming months, something many gamers have been waiting for.

For now, Valve remains silent. However, considering the recent problems in the RAM and SSD market, it would not be surprising if the company has delayed its communication to avoid a launch with uncompetitive prices. If AMD does not change its plans, everything points to Steam Machine returning to the spotlight in 2026, this time with much more concrete information.
