Dubbed by many as the ‘GabeCube’, the Steam Machine offers gamers an exciting proposition: a more powerful Steam Deck hooked up to your TV.
With no official word then, it’s up to us to read the tea leaves of interviews, and which market segment Valve is positioning the Steam Machine for, to figure out how much the Steam Machine will cost.
How much could the Steam Machine cost? Our prediction
This is very telling on where to expect the cost of the Steam Machine to land, as entry gaming PCs are typically more expensive than consoles, at least in their base configuration as opposed to specialist SKUs such as the PlayStation 5 Pro.
A trick Valve has up its sleeve compared to typical prebuilt PCs is that it has designed the Steam machine in-house, meaning Valve only has to spend money on exactly what it needs.
Looking at pre-built PC suppliers such as AWD-IT, a similarly specced PC, such as the Mars, comes in at £569.99 on sale.
Performance-wise, the Steam Machine will probably be faster overall, given the improved CPU, but not by a huge margin.
As such, we speculate that the Steam Machine could cost in the region of £500-600 if Valve intends it to be competitively priced.

There is also the tariff situation to take into consideration, which will primarily affect prospective buyers in the US, but Valve could spread the burden internationally so as not to lose out on one of the biggest gaming markets. Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders were delayed in the US due to tariffs, so disruption here for consoles is not unprecedented.
