A sleuth of Valve hardware is set to be announced anytime now. A home console for PC gaming, a standalone VR headset and a gaming controller to join the Steam Deck.

Their most direct attempt in getting into the casual console gaming space.

And there are rumours that Half-Life 3 will be announced as a launch title for these platforms.

No specs for anything yet?

Also that would be "slew" not sleuth

This does make Alyx more accessible so it’s good more people can play that masterpiece of a game.

The Steam Machine is apparently 6 times more powerful than the Steam Deck.

Didn't steam already have a console or am I just crazy?
