Steam Controller 2026 adds dual trackpads, capacitive sticks, and grip gyro. So you can map more actions without lifting thumbs.

The Steam Machine, Steam Controller, and Steam Frame are still set to launch in the first half of 2026, as originally planned.

Valve has provided an update on its November 2025-announced Steam Machine, Steam Frame, and Steam Controller hardware—specifically addressing launch timing and pricing.

Late last year, Valve announced a brand new slate of hardware as a follow up to its popular Steam Deck. The brand new Steam Controller, Steam Machine and Steam Frame are all set to become an extended part of Valve’s hardware line-up, making PC gaming even more accessible to those looking for powerful gaming without the faff.

Steam Machine upscales older games to 4K and can restore online play in select titles, so retro nights look sharper and run more smoothly.
