Steam Machine Costs $1,049

BellevueAI-driven chip demand repriced Steam Machine to $1,049.

Valve targeted $750 in 2023; memory and storage scarcity driven by AI hardware buildout made parts unavailable at any price during production runs, the company said.

Valve said pricing on future batches may change as component costs shift; reservations open June 25.
