Valve still 'hopes' to ship Steam Machines in 2026, but a delay into 2027 is starting to look like a real possibility: 'Memory and storage shortages have created challenges for us'

Valve is still aiming to release its new Steam Machines in 2026, but a delay into 2027 is becoming likely due to memory and storage shortages impacting production. These shortages, exacerbated by AI component demand, are also driving up costs, potentially making Steam Machines more expensive than competing consoles like PlayStation and Xbox.
