Valve has announced that the Steam Machine will start shipping to select users on June 30, and that the base version will cost $1,049. Four versions will be available, two of which with a controller included, and two with 2 TB built in.
The prices for all Steam Machine versions are as follows:
- 512 GB – $1,049
- 512 GB With Controller – $1,128
- 2 TB – $1,349
- 2 TB With Controller – $1,428
Both 2 TB versions also come with extra faceplates. The specs of the version are:
- Semi-custom AMD Zen 4 6C / 12T
- Semi-custom AMD RDNA3 28CUs
- 16GB DDR5 + 8GB GDDR6 VRAM
- 2TB NVMe SSD, microSD card slot
- Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, Gigabit ethernet
- Integrated Steam Controller wireless adapter
- Small form factor, ~6 inch cube
- SteamOS 3

The results are randomized, and as such, there’s no way of knowing which owners will receive the console in the coming weeks. Lastly, you can join the waiting list before June 25 via the Steam Machine website, which describes the hardware as follows:
