God, I am so excited for this thing. I hope beyond hope it’s affordable
Is it even worth posting articles you can only read if you’re a subscriber?
It’s called the Gabecube.
I’ve been (involuntarily) holding off on building a new gaming PC for years. Seems like my wait will finally be rewarded next year.
I find it amazing that people are „dreaming“ of a device with a RDNA3 GPU with 8GB VRAM in the year 2026 but hey what do I know…
Isn’t the Xbox series x a bit more powerful than the new stream machine?
What makes you say that, it’s not that powerful and runs an OS that’s harder to deal with for games that Windows (generally)?
The only thing that’s stopping me from being interested in this is my current Xbox console library.
If the leaks are true and the next Xbox is essentially this but with Xbox console library support, then it’ll be exactly I want.
A lackluster computer that will be even more lackluster when is released in 2026, for the prices that have been speculated is not really anything to dream of.
Microsoft does not dream of this. Microsoft does not dream of making the best product they can for you. Microsoft dreams about money and they dont care about you.
Like do you seriously think that if microsoft really wanted to make a great product they couldn’t make something better than this? They absolutely could, they could make the same hardware at the same cost and create a version of windows that removes all the garbage and it would be infinitely better than this, it would be just the same but with everything ever being compatible.
But that’s not what they want, they want windows to gather your data, feed you ads and incorporate co pilot in it in the hopes that that’s gonna be the next big thing,
I disagree, Xbox series X by all measures will be way better hardware and we will wait and see on the value proposition for the new Steam Machine. But what Microsoft really dreams they had is a digital distribution system like Steam. The Steam OS is great and the Steam Hardware is good, but ultimately it’s the Steam Client/Store that makes it all successful.
With the amount of money they get from loot crate gamblers from TF2 and CS2, I’m kind of hoping they can make these cheaper than a PS5/Switch. Something like using their other games microtransactions to fund their tech division.
Except it can’t download and play xbox game pass games on stramos.
So it is about as far from what xbox is dreaming of as you can get.
With that said, I love that valve is releasing this. So many people have been waiting for this for so long.
It looks like an Xbox Series X that’s been chopped in half.
I like the idea of this thing but I just don’t see how it realistically competes with the Xbox much less Playstation. A 1080p system with a nearly 100% non native game library that relies entirely on Windows translation layers hardly screams console killer.
It will sell well to those already deep in the Steam ecosystem, especially Deck users who just want a Deck on the TV and are familiar with the tweaking processes to get things running just right, I highly doubt Sony is losing an ounce of sleep over this thing though.
Paywalled,
And explain to me why this is Xbox’s dream. You’re telling me a $4 trillion company couldn’t put a few PC parts together in a small box to make a console?
They left the console market for more margins on the software side. I doubt they are in awe at this.
Funny what your company can accomplish when it does one thing well instead of a a dozen things poorly
Uhhh what? Lol it’s weaker than an Xbox series X, as an Xbox gamer this thing makes me laugh 🤣
What a surprise. A Weaker machine upvoted to the higher heavens by GabeNs cheeseburger legion
AND you can install software on it! MUCH better than any console.
Easy win for them if its cheaper than the console that keep having their prices raised for no god damn reason
Fuck these paywalled articles
It’s neat but wake me up when you can officially install steam os on your own machine, then I’ll build a little sffpc that will blow this thing away.
I severely doubt Microsoft is dreaming of releasing an underpowered box that will move about 6 to 8 million units lifetime and can’t play a lot of popular games due to issues with anti cheat software.
Xbox fans jerking it directly into their mouths in the comments. This thing is going to do a lot of stuff really really good and not just max graphics on the yearly cod installation. Living room PCs just got really easy.
We got steam console before gta 6
The V-Cube is already better than the Xbox
to be fair it only does 60 fps while Xbox series X pulls 120
Microsoft just loves getting in their own way.
I would hope if this is the direction of the next Xbox, that they aim higher. This feels made to compete with current gen consoles
I just use a 50 feet 8K HDMI cable and usb cable that runs from my office to the lounge. 4K @ 120fps.
It’s not very powerful.. ps5 and series x are more powerful. I was very excited about it until I heard the specs
Based on specs it’ll be slower and more expensive than the Xbox Series X. So I’m not sure I agree with this take.
Valve is selling it as a 4k-capable device, but that’s with FSR3 performance mode, upscaling from 1080p, and FSR3 looks like garbage.
I was thinking the exact same thing. Microsoft wants to make a premier console/computer since they’re pushing away from the commoditized hardware. Seeing Steam enter that market before them just fills my heart with warmth
I don’t know about all that. It’s pretty low powered compared to current gen consoles.
they built a x86 to arm translation layer for the steam frame. They could have used this for steam machine and used an nvidia tegra t264 thor!
Not knowing the price is killing me!
