Valve describes just how brutal RAM negotiations are in 2026

Valve's Steam Machine finally has a price: a whopping $1,049 for the 512GB configuration or $1,349 for the 2TB version. And those are without bundled controllers, which drive up the cost more. The prices are so high in part because Valve isn't subsidizing the hardware, and the company has already indicated that the component crisis forced it to reconsider its initial pricing plans. In an interview with the YouTube channel Gamers Nexus, Valve engineers discussed the reality of sourcing RAM in 202

AI is cursing renters with the promise of impossible homes

Joyce, a native New Yorker, didn't think finding her first solo apartment in the city would be easy. But she also didn't think it'd be "hell." After looking at a lot of tiny, overpriced places she described as "shitholes," Joyce found her dream apartment: a reasonably priced studio in Manhattan. "It was big and airy, and there was a fireplace," she said. The kitchen was small but well equipped and looked like it had been recently renovated. She dropped everything to see the apartment, and when s

The Steam Machine is the start of an even more expensive future for game consoles

It's no secret that just about every aspect of video games is getting more expensive. Game consoles are getting regular price hikes, PC components are spiking in cost, and the golden age of affordable handhelds is over, all largely due to the global RAM shortage, which has had a similarly costly impact on PC gaming, including portable devices like the Steam Deck. This all led to some trepidation around the Steam Machine, Valve's latest attempt to bring the breadth and openness of PC gaming into

The Apple Watch SE 3 is just $199 for Prime Day

The Apple Watch SE 3 is at an all-time low of $199, making the sleeper hit of last year’s Apple Watches an even better value. While the Series 11 and Ultra 3 were iterative updates, the SE 3 was a wide-ranging glow-up that added an always-on display, gestures like double tap and wrist flick, a wrist-temperature sensor, 5G connectivity, fast charging, a speaker, and an upgraded processor that’ll support watchOS 27 when it arrives in the fall.

Valve is working with AMD to bring FSR 4 to the Steam Machine

The Steam Machine is a cool little console that's about as powerful as a PlayStation 5, according to my colleague Sean Hollister's in-depth review. But one area where it lags behind is with its earlier version of AMD FSR upscaler: It's just not as good as it should be. Yes, it can sharpen low-res graphics to make games look higher-res, but the PS5 (and especially the PS5 Pro) render a clearer image in motion with some games we compared. That's not great news for the Steam Machine, especially sin

Here’s how you can reserve a Steam Machine

The Steam Machine is here, but getting one is a little complicated. Valve is taking preorders using a reservation system, which is intended to make the process more fair and harder for bots to exploit. However, it's a bit different than the $5 reservations Valve used for the Steam Deck. Starting today, you can sign up for a chance to reserve the Steam Machine, choosing from four different options: Steam Machine 512GB: $1,049 / $1,509 CAD / €1,039 / £879 / $1,609 AUD / 4,389 zlotys Steam Machine

Valve will finally let you build your own Steam Machine with SteamOS for desktop

If you don't get lucky with Valve's Steam Machine reservation system, you can make your own Steam Machine instead. Valve says that "starting with the SteamOS 3.8 release, you can put together your own Steam Machine using whatever PC parts you want." SteamOS 3.8.10 launched last week with a slew of updates, including "improved compatibility with recent Intel and AMD platforms." Alongside that improved compatibility, Valve is giving gamers the green light to install SteamOS on their own desktops.

Valve explains why it isn’t subsidizing the Steam Machine

But the Xbox Series X is kind of like two Steam Machines! | Photo: Kelsey McClellan / The Verge Valve finally announced the price of the Steam Machine, and like a lot of new gadgets these days, it's not cheap: It starts at $1,049 for a 512GB model, and a 2TB model costs $300 more.

The Steam Machine is the most ambitious game console I’ve ever played

My first day with the Steam Machine was a mess. Instead of enjoying a worry-free game console, I spent hours troubleshooting what felt like a finicky PC. That's because the Steam Machine is a PC, with a very important twist. Since the Magnavox Odyssey came out in 1972, game consoles have been built with the same basic goal: to effortlessly play proprietary games on a TV screen. Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft have spent decades essentially selling the same product. A few consoles could do more, bu

RingConn’s Lord of the Rings promotion assumes smart ring wearers want to be like Gollum

Smart ring maker RingConn's marketing copy says Lord of the Rings' "enduring narrative highlights a simple but powerful idea: that meaningful transformation often begins with the choices we make each day. RingConn embraces a similar philosophy, believing that lasting change begins with everyday awareness and small, intentional decisions." Of course, the "intentional decisions" Frodo makes in Lord of the Rings include specifically not wearing the One Ring and (spoiler alert) tossing it into a vol

It’s a small but rare discount. | Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Prime Day has brought a number of Apple deals, but one of the most useful if you’re planning to travel over the July 4th weekend or later this summer is on the new AirTags.
