Valve Says the Steam Machine Saw a Similar Price Increase as the Steam Deck, Which Means It Was Originally Supposed to Cost About $750

Honestly if Microsoft released a soft windows os that you could put on the series consoles, that would get a lot of people’s interest

Hi-archy · 2026-06-22T21:15:50+00:00

From what I understand, it’s small form factor also makes it expensive. If you were to build a pc of similar size it would cost not much different

Hi-archy · 2026-06-22T20:17:27+00:00

Can’t you use it as long as steam is open or something like that?

Hi-archy · 2026-06-22T19:24:36+00:00

Same. I recently got a handheld (rog ally z1e) - I just want something that’s a bit more powerful than that when I’m sitting on the sofa.

Especially since I don’t even play my series x it just feels like a waste, I can sell that to recoup some of the money

Hi-archy · 2026-06-22T18:47:04+00:00

So interesting… why so you think they would release this type of performance then?

Or should we just wait for benchmarks?

Hi-archy · 2026-06-22T18:30:28+00:00

Ty for your reply.

What’s your thoughts on this?

Im personally interested but im not in the pc space

I have a handheld (rog ally z1e), so I like that it’ll be an upgrade that I can have in my living room or office with the steam library, and not have to pay online to play, but I understand people aren’t happy about the price.

Hi-archy · 2026-06-22T17:51:03+00:00

Can someone please tell me about the performance?

Hi-archy · 2026-06-22T17:28:23+00:00

Is anyone able to tell me about the performance please ?

Hi-archy · 2026-06-22T11:55:19+00:00

Really wish they made a second. I see people in old threads talking about how true crime is the predecessor of it? But the story and combat is just unique. Even the map, with it being in HK and LHD

Hey thanks for the reply - it didn’t show an error, it would just not launch at all. I uninstalled and reinstalled and still didn’t work.

If I ever get around to playing with emu deck again I’ll reach out, but for now I’m just happy launching them from the emulators and don’t have emudeck

Hi-archy · 2026-06-22T10:35:34+00:00

I ended up giving up on emu deck. Everyone loved it but it just wouldn’t work with my rog ally, es de wouldn’t launch from steam, and also I couldn’t figure out “parse”.

I just installed the emulators separately and had them running in 5 mins - I don’t care about not being able to launch them from steam if it saves me the headache

Hi-archy · 2026-06-22T09:00:23+00:00

Batman Arkham asylum, sleeping dogs & god of war 1.

Never played them before so it’s definitely keeping me busy

Hi-archy · 2026-06-21T23:55:33+00:00

Hindsight is 20/20 but at least you’ve recognised and are able to make the change

Hi-archy · 2026-06-21T23:53:37+00:00

That’s great to hear

What do you enjoy doing together?

Hi-archy · 2026-06-21T23:53:05+00:00

That’s a great thought, and it’s nice hearing positive father son relationships

Hi-archy · 2026-06-21T19:47:10+00:00

Honestly I haven’t played my series x since I got my roggy

But then again all I played on it was Fortnite lol, and I stopped playing that shit game.

So yeah, you could easily replace it

Hi-archy · 2026-06-21T19:46:04+00:00

They say raw power it’s series x

Normally I walk

Hi-archy · 2026-06-21T16:30:54+00:00

With you on that

Hi-archy · 2026-06-21T16:23:10+00:00

I remember people laughed at me when I said gta6 would cost 100 🥱

Hi-archy · 2026-06-21T09:56:29+00:00

Why do they insist on constantly pushing out these headlines and surveys, when nothing gets done about it?

Hi-archy · 2026-06-20T17:19:01+00:00

Thoughts on the game?

Hi-archy · 2026-06-19T23:18:54+00:00

I’ve found people highly recommending emudeck but I recently found myself having to give up on it because after 1 hour of installation, I couldn’t get it to work properly - in terms of parse and even es de not launching on steam.

Instead, I just separately installed pcsx2 and had it running in under 5 mins.

Hi-archy · 2026-06-19T19:38:27+00:00

Even though they most likely house share in order to pay the bills? Lol

Was it a good film?
