Overview
- Valve unveiled three devices — Steam Machine, Steam Frame VR headset, and a new Steam Controller — with the Steam Machine targeted for 2026 and marketed as 4K/60 FPS and six times more powerful than the Deck.
- Valve’s Steam developer page now indicates two upcoming releases, yet only Deadlock is publicly listed, fueling guesses about a hidden project.
- Viewers flagged possible Half‑Life nods in the hardware video, including a SOON™ sticker, a censored orange H, and the lambda logo on a keyboard, though these remain unverified clues.
- Insiders and a Valve developer stoked expectations for further news, with posts from Mike Straw, Shpeshal Nick, and Valve’s Drew Gottlieb hinting at additional announcements without naming any game.
- News outlets stress that Valve has not announced Half‑Life 3, and suggestions that it could tie to the Steam Machine launch are speculative at this stage.
