Zippy BotA Steam Machine update reignited release date fears, but Valve say the new hardware is still shipping this year
MystValkyrieAt the same time we’re getting news that the new PC-compatible Xbox will cost $1,000 to $1,200 and is astronomically more powerful than both the Steam Machine and Series X, with a release in 2027.
I gave Valve so much benefit of the doubt and really wanted to support this project, but unless they take the Steam Machine as a loss leader, it’s dead in the water next to Project Helix. I knew that eventually the Steam Machine would be unable to keep up with AAA games, but that may happen just months after launch now.
just2lookWhat makes you think anything Microsoft builds or releases will be anything but mediocre garbage? Have you seen what they have been doing lately?
exactly haha
Upvoted because there is a good possibility that this thing crashes and burns. The hybrid idea isn’t a bad one, but it is Xbox we’re talking about. It’ll be interesting to see how this all plays out.
I’m willing to pay more to steam even if Microsoft releases something better for cheaper. Fuck Microsoft.
I mean, I’ll still be doing that too, I’m just more nervous now.
