As I already have a Playstation 5 for demanding games (and my kids playing Fortnite and Roblox sadly) and a Steam Deck for less demanding games, I really don’t know for sure if I’m gonna get a Steam Machine.

Its price and the way it integrates with my Steam Deck might be a deciding factor.

To be honest, I’m quite happy it isn’t out yet as it’s pushing my FOMO away.

I guess the wise decision would be to buy every game on Playstation physical, sell them and buy them again on Steam Machine 2 instead of getting a Playstation 6. Espace especially because I’m only using the Playstation for racing games (too demanding for the Deck) or exclusives…

One good thing if you purchase this and ditch the PS is you don’t have to pay for a membership, which is insane that console players still put up with that. A quick search (without actually checking if it’s correct) is that it’s $160 per year, on top of what you’re paying for your internet. The Steam Machine would pay for itself in just a few years, even with no other advantages.

I don’t have the Playstation plus anymore but I never payed above 70$ and got a lot of free games with it.

Still, it wasn’t worth it to me as I mostly play single player games except some racing sims…

I have to be pedantic, but I always hate it when people say “free” for something they paid for. It’s included in the price, not free.
