Valve has explained why its new Steam Machine is so expensive after players criticized the price. The entry-level model starts at around €1,000, while higher-end versions with more storage cost up to €1,500 and Valve says no discounts are planned. According to Valve, keeping the price high helps support an open and sustainable PC gaming ecosystem over the long term. The company also says that users with compatible hardware can install the same operating system on their own PCs. For those who find the Steam Machine too expensive, Valve suggests either building a PC themselves or buying a traditional game console.

Krass wie niemand zu checken scheint, dass der Preis für die Steam Machine absolut fair ist in der aktuellen Marktsituation

Valve says its $1,049 Steam Machine costs more than a PS5 because it refuses to sell hardware at a loss and make up the difference with subscriptions or game sales "The cost of the product is basically the cost of the components and what it takes to make it"

(based GN) Should also note that the DIY machine also is not power limited. Steam Machine is. The benefit of the DIY machine in this scenario is obviously performance. However the benefit of the Steam Machine in this scenario is hardware integration and quietness. For example if you want the "true console experience" on PC where you just press the Steam button on your controller and the PC turns on Steam, then you should consider the extra cost.

Shout out to Gamers Nexus for showing the DIY build of a comparable machine (slightly better performance than Steam Machine) $979 vs $1050. Buy an xbox controller on sale for $50 vs $99 for Steam controller... You save about $120.

Valve clarified that the Steam Machine costs over $1,000 because they choose not to subsidize it. The price of the console is essentially just the cost of its components. In contrast, PlayStation and XBOX consoles are sold at a loss, with the companies making their money back when players purchase subscriptions and games. While Valve’s console costs more upfront, you don't have to pay a monthly subscription just to play online games. Plus, because it’s a PC, you are free to buy and play your games anywhere, not just on Steam.

@BigLarry138 @Dexerto You pay for a subscription to play a game online. On a Steam Machine you don’t pay any subscription + you have more games + you can play Xbox Games + PlayStation games on the Steam Machine + you can run Emulation of DS, 3DS, Nintendo Switch. Can you do that on a PS5?

Left out the part where Steam Machine is running true 1440p vs. PS5 “performance mode” running 840p upscaled to 1440p
Play4Index@Play4Index

The Steam Machine is showing disappointing performance in demanding games: 🛑 Cyberpunk 2077 (1440p, Medium, RT) – 28 FPS 🛑 Black Myth: Wukong (1440p, Very High) – 20 FPS 🛑 Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora (Ultra) – 21 FPS 🔹 Key takeaway: the Steam Machine’s performance does not match its price, a regular PC costing $1,049 or more would deliver significantly better results. #Steam

Como ya dijo VALVe en una entrevista, aunque quieran no pueden vender las Steam Machines a pérdidas como hacen comúnmente Sony o Nintendo con sus consolas. El problema es que la Steam Machine es un PC de verdad, no una consola. Si la pusieran muy barata, con la crisis actual las empresas las comprarían al por mayor para usarlas como ordenadores de oficina o trabajo, no para el gaming. Aunque VALVe tenga dinero, no tiene sentido asumir esa pérdida cuando no hay ninguna garantía de recuperarla vendiendo software. No envidio nada a los que tienen que gestionar esto en VALVe.

Steam machine prices, it's about the same power as a PS5: - $1,049: 512GB Steam Machine (no controller) - $1,128: 512GB Steam Machine + Steam Controller - $1349: 2TB Steam Machine (no controller) $1,428: 2TB Steam Machine + Steam Controller + 2 extra faceplates To compare: - PS5 Digital: $599 - Normal PS5: $649 - PS5 PRO: $899 Insane 💀

People keep pricing this like everyone wants to spend a weekend building a tiny gaming PC and troubleshooting Linux/Windows settings. Most people just want to plug a box into the TV and play the Steam game they already own. For that person, this honestly makes a lot of sense.

"A prebuilt is better!" The Steam Machine is the size of a tissue box, near silent, uses only 140W of power, will be easily repairable, isn't limited to SteamOS and can never be rendered inoperable by a ban or shutdown, and has far cheaper games through Steam. And just works.
IGN@IGN

The Steam Machine, at $1049, is a bit too expensive to take on the PS5 or the Xbox Series X. But even at that seemingly high price, it’s still one of the cheapest and almost certainly the easiest way to get into PC gaming right now. Our review: bit.ly/4uNi025 #IGNSummerOfGaming
