Earlier this month, Valve reaffirmed its commitment to shipping the Steam Machine this summer. Today, it officially announced pricing, initial shipping dates, and many remaining details, including specs, for the living room PC.

In a wide-ranging blog post, the company confirmed it will be offering the Steam Machine in four different configurations.

  • Steam Machine 512GB: £879 / $1,049 / €1,039 / CAD $1,509 / AUD $1,609 / PLN 4,389.
  • Steam Machine 512GB + Steam Controller bundle: £938 / $1,128 / €1,108 / CAD $1,628 / AUD $1,728 / PLN 4,698.
  • Steam Machine 2TB: £1,149 / $1,349 / €1,359 / CAD $1,919 / AUD $2,109 / PLN 5,739.
  • Steam Machine 2TB + Steam Controller bundle: £1,208 / $1,428 / €1,428 / CAD $2,038 / AUD $2,228 / PLN 6,048.

As a bonus, the two 2TB options come with two extra faceplates: red fabric and solid walnut.

If you're interested in making a purchase, a reservation system is being implemented similar to the one currently in use with the Steam Controller. We've put together a pre-order guide to help you wrap your head around it all. Customers will receive their Steam Machines some time after 29th June when Valve starts sending out shipping emails, but the company hasn't set a specific launch date beyond this.

Anyone wanting to pre-order a Steam Machine can sign up from now until Thursday, 25th June. Sign-ups for the initial batch close at 6pm BST (7pm CET, 10am PT, 1pm ET). Putting your name down requires a Steam account in good standing, and you need to have made a purchase on Steam prior to 27th April 2026.

The reservation order for this first batch will be randomised, meaning it won't matter if you sign up immediately or just before it closes, which will help ease the load on the Steam store. Valve is also limiting it to one unit per house: each payment method and shipping address can only place a single order.

On 25th June, you'll receive an email confirming your place in the queue, but you may also receive another email telling you you've been added to the waitlist. Any sign-ups made after that date will also join the waitlist.

As Valve told Eurogamer, "We'll start sending order emails to customers at the beginning of the reservation queue on June 29th. As customers complete their orders we will start shipping units."

When Valve initially announced Steam Machine, Steam Frame, and the Steam Controller, the plan was to ship everything in the first quarter of 2026. Valve later revised that to the first half of the year, after it became clear that significant memory and storage cost increases would force the company to adjust prices.

Speaking to Eurogamer ahead of today's announcement, Valve said the new Steam Machine price is "significantly more" than it had initially envisaged. It also revealed why it chose not to take the console approach and subsidise Steam Machine, selling it at a loss.
