Overview
- Valve’s stationary box runs SteamOS with Proton and pairs a 6‑core/12‑thread AMD Zen 4 CPU with a 28‑CU RDNA 3 GPU, 16 GB system RAM and 8 GB GDDR6 VRAM, as Valve touts roughly six times Steam Deck performance and 4K/60 with ray tracing via FSR upscaling.
- Two storage configurations are planned at launch, offering 512 GB or 2 TB of SSD capacity, with additional expansion via a microSD slot.
- Connectivity includes HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4, Gigabit Ethernet, Wi‑Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3 and five USB ports including USB‑C.
- Valve also unveiled a redesigned Steam Controller with dual trackpads, magnetic analog sticks, gyro and haptics, about 35 hours of battery life and a 2.4 GHz puck that doubles as a charger, with broad compatibility across PC, Steam Deck and the Steam Machine.
- The company is developing a Steam Frame VR headset on the same platform, while independent analysis cautions that 8 GB of VRAM and current FSR support may limit native high‑setting 4K ray‑traced gaming in many recent titles.
