The steam machine is back y’all -new controller, VR headset, game console

[O³ (O cubed)]

Yeah that's what I want to understand too. Going by the specs it's slightly weaker that the PS5. But it has FSR 4 in it. So the upscaling should help. But I don't think it's running modern and newer games at 4k/60 unless you do a lot of tweaking in the settings which console gamers aren't going to be a fan of. Then the PC gamers should have a better rig than this too.

To be honest, it all depends on the price. If they can price it around $550 -$600, potentially they could sell a couple million.

Remember the most played games are CSGO and DOTA. They can run on a potato.

I'm interested in the controller and the VR headseat. Hopefully they don't cost too much I can assume the steam controller gonna be $70-80 based on other controllers

Price will be what kills it

If it's not better than a 7800X3D with 32GBs of RAM and a 4080 Super it's worthless to me.

Bringing back the OG Xbox Duke controller lol

Whole concept feels like what xbox is trying to do.

Xbox about to take the L before it even gets off the ground if true

Yup depending on the price this could take off. The Next Box will most likely be more expensive. But also more powerful, I’m curious to see what Microsoft is cooking.

Then why would those players pay 600 bucks for this thing? Even if they wanned a non traditional PC, the small ass Ryzen mini PCs can run those games, its much cheaper and the process of hooking it up to a TV is the same

Anything over $500 is DOA

This is not a 4K machine for AAA titles. The performance for most graphically intense titles will be sub par even with FSR up scaling. Not enough VRAM. But for what it is which is basically a console with a computer OS, and you can run your indie titles and older games from your steam library in your living room this is dope. I think most ppl will have this to supplement a more powerful comp or console.

Those don’t have graphics cards so technically are much weaker than this would be unless I’m missing something
