Valve has opened reservations for its Steam Machine, with prices starting at $1,049 for a 512GB model and $1,349 for a 2TB version. Bundles including the new Steam Controller are also available at higher price points. To combat scalpers and ensure a fairer distribution, Valve is implementing a randomized lottery system for purchase eligibility, requiring a purchase history on Steam before April 27, 2026, and limiting one reservation per household. The first units are slated to ship on June 29, with the company citing increased component costs as the reason for the higher-than-anticipated pricing. AI
