It's potentially good news for owners, but will potentially become a balancing act of performance vs fidelity.

Body horror, shiny lasers, and callous political machinations in a tough strategy game? What a treat!

After months of delaying, price worries, and scarce component-wrangling, the new Steam Machine is ready for launch. Valve have confirmed that the reservation system for orders – an initially randomised variant of how they’re current selling the Steam Controller – is open now for signups, and have lifted the embargo on Steam Machine reviews. That’s ours, right there. Also, we finally know just how much you’ll be asked to pay for the diminutive SteamOS system. Ready? Here’s those Steam Machine pri...

Earlier this month, Valve reaffirmed its commitment to shipping the Steam Machine this summer. Today, Valve has officially announced pricing, initial shipping dates, and many of the remaining details, including Steam Machine's specs, about the living room PC.

As Valve creeps into the traditionally console-dominated gaming space of the living room with its new Steam Machine, it not only opens itself to comparisons with the consoles that currently reside there, but also with how companies like Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo do business.

What is the Steam Machine? I must admit I've spent a good portion of my time with the thing trying to figure that question out. Valve will tell you, as they told us, that it's essentially been made for the people who want to bring their existing PC library - on Steam and elsewhere - to the living room. It's a noble goal, and one the company's been toying with for more than a decade, since its introduction of Big Picture Mode as far back as 2012, through the original wave of third-party Steam Mac...

The Steam Machine is buyable at last! And it sure costs a pretty penny, as is probably to be expected here in the year of our lord and/or dark lord 2026. We've written a full user-focused review of the Steam Machine separately thanks to yours truly, but also it's important to confess something: I am not a technical expert, and nor will I ever be.

Now that you've hopefully absorbed everything Valve has announced for the Steam Machine, which is set to begin shipping through a reservation system relatively soon, it's time to look beyond. Valve has officially confirmed FSR 4, AMD's most advanced image upscaling technology, is coming to the Steam Machine.

The price of the Steam Machine is "significantly more" than Valve would have liked to launch it at, Valve has told Eurogamer, and it hasn't been able to make as many units of the new console-like PC as it wanted to, either.

Sign up before then for a chance to buy a Steam Machine sometime this year.

Valve admits its higher than hoped: "Our original goal for the price… is no longer viable."

Chalk another one up to AI demand, I guess.

On a sc-roll? There are few better ways to spend $9.99 / £8.99 than on Dark Scrolls. The indie Soulslike side-scroller is something I’ll spend the rest of the year dipping into every now and again, itching for a run as a way to kill a train journey. It doesn’t offer the deepest gameplay, nor does it have a sprawling world hidden away in its depths, but strikes the right chord for the price point. Describing Dark Scrolls as a 'Soulslike side-scroller' is more of a shorthand than an all-encompassi...
