It might not be Half-Life 3, but nonetheless, Valve-land is awash with rumours, leaks and early reviews, which have sent the internet at large into a tizzy over a potential Steam Machine announcement, which may be closer than we expect if reports are to be believed.
Certainly, it appears the Steam Controller launch may be imminent, as, in something of an oopsie, early reviews revealed the potential price and release date.
But, if the Steam Controller is coming, what is happening with the Steam Machine?
Alongside the Steam Controller, the Steam machine and Steam Frame received store pages on the Komodo Station website, which is the official retailer of Valve products in Asia.
As noted by VR enthusiast Brad Lynch on X (formerly Twitter), only the Steam Controller received new web assets.

In a news piece about the Steam Controller reviews going live early, Mike Straw said, "I’m to understand that Valve is getting closer to confirming everything. They’ve been going back and forth internally on pricing and whether they would be willing to take a loss on the cost, at least in the short term," adding that "It’s unclear what decision has been made, but the internal belief is that an announcement on a release is getting closer."
In the run-up to the launch of the Steam Deck, Valve CEO Gabe Newell described getting the base model to £349/$359 as "painful", but it was never clear if it was at a loss, cost, or had the teeniest of margins.
There is a real risk of selling the Steam Machine at a loss, however, as scalpers could buy them to strip them of components, or businesses could buy them and deploy them as relatively cheap enterprise computers.

This was likely implemented due to the supply constraints brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.
We'll likely see Valve employ this again in order to avoid scalpers, so if you want a Steam Machine, you should be able to get your hands on one, though you may have to wait a while depending on where in the reservation queue you are.
