Steam Machines 'more powerful' than consoles hit this fall

4.6
Valve continues to put console gaming in its crosshairs with news that a dozen new Steam Machines are hitting this November. Prices aren't concrete, but the company promises higher performance than game consoles starting at "the same price point." What's more, new units from Alienware and Falcon Northwest are on display at this year's Game Developers Conference, with the latter showing off Unreal Tournament running on a 4K monitor.

Evo8 Still don't think this will get a huge loyal fanbase like the other consoles.


Many steam users have already built themselves their own working versions. It will.

Jetz I wonder whats going to be the price for these machines?


It depends on the manufacturer, right now there's already a few options with very different price ranges.

Since it's a full on PC, it will depend on the parts inside. Unlike the same xbox1 or PS4 being shipped.

lilrichard22 Will it be able to play new games on highest settings five years from now? Or will I have to buy a new one?


Obviously it wont. I dont think any machine now can play at the highest setting for games 5 years from now..... Thats just common sense.

its almost pointless to keep releasing new consoles. I feel like this one wont sell all that often

You're gonna have to buy a new one, that's the drawback of getting a console.
For the same price you can build your own PC and cheaply upgrade it over the years...
