Overview & Key Takeaways
Valve has finally unveiled pricing for its Steam Machine models and they range from $1,049 to $1,428. There are four SKUs: a 512GB model, a 512GB model with a Steam Controller, a 2TB model, and a 2TB model with a Steam Controller.
Valve writes on its announcement page, "In an effort to improve the purchase experience and limit resellers, we're implementing a reservation system." You have until Thursday, June 25 to sign up for which model you want to purchase. The text for signing up for the list reads, "Join the list any time before June 25th at 10 a.m. PT. On that date, the list will be closed and randomized, and you will receive an email with your results shortly after."
After the deadline, Valve is doing a "one-time randomization to determine the reservation and waitlist order." Valve offered some additional details on how this will work, which you can read below.
Based on the reservation order, you will receive an email on June 25th indicating one of two things:
- You've been added to the reservation queue and a Steam Machine has been reserved in your name. As units become available for shipment, people in the reservation queue will receive an email with the option to purchase.
- We'll send the first batch of those starting Monday June 29th, and will continue to go through the reservation queue as units become available.
You've been added to the waitlist and we'll let you know when more units become available.
