""From a product standpoint, Valve is on track to begin shipping its AMD-powered Steam Machine early this year," claimed Su in prepared remarks ahead of a financial call. "And development of Microsoft's next-gen Xbox featuring an AMD semi-custom [System on Chip] is progressing well to support a launch in 2027.""
""Valve's Steam Machine has a confirmed release date of 2026, but nothing any more specific. Valve says the Steam hardware family will expand in early 2026, but didn't specify if that was all three recently announced devices, just one, or some other combo like the VR headset and new controller. Su's comments seem to indicate that Valve could start selling and shipping Steam Machines to customers within the next few months.""
""This isn't a confirmation that the next Xbox will launch in 2027, but Su did point out that both the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S will be entering their seventh year on the market at that point, and that's a good time for a refresh. Meanwhile, we've known for some time that Microsoft is trying to get the next Xbox out around 2027 or possibly 2028. Microsoft execs have also teased that the next-gen Xbox will be a \"very premium, very high-end\" device, so it doesn't sound cheap.""
Valve's AMD-powered Steam Machine is on track to begin shipping early 2026. Development of Microsoft's next-generation Xbox featuring an AMD semi-custom System on Chip is progressing to support a 2027 launch. The PS5 and Xbox Series X/S will enter their seventh market year in 2027, making that timeframe suitable for a hardware refresh. Valve confirmed a 2026 release window for Steam hardware expansion but did not specify which devices will ship. Microsoft aims for a premium, high-end next-generation Xbox, implying elevated pricing expectations. Near-term console and console-like devices are expected to be relatively expensive.
