Valve

Valve increased Steam Deck prices by more than $200 across its product line. This significant price hike reflects rising component costs and could impact the handheld gaming market's growth trajectory.

Valve's Steam Machine has been certified as Vulkan API compliant by the Khronos Group. This certification indicates Valve is progressing toward releasing a new gaming console product.

Valve has pushed back its Steam Machine release date for the second time, now targeting 'this year' instead of specific quarters, citing AI-fueled memory shortages. The delays highlight how AI demand is creating supply constraints across the gaming hardware ecosystem.
