Valve’s Steam Machine Price Problem Just Got Real After a $950 DIY Rival

Valve’s Steam Machine remains without an official price as controller shipments arrive in the U.S. and a $950 custom build draws comparisons. Component shortages have delayed pricing and launch details, though Valve says its Steam Machine, Frame VR headset, and new controller are still planned for 2026. Import records show Valve is stockpiling controllers, but no launch date is confirmed.
