Valve's "Steam Box" gaming console

Valve is rumored to be developing their own console, currently known as "Steam Box". Steam Box is developed with the idea of a low-cost and micro-sized PC that would be able to play all of Steam's games. The baseline specs of Steam Box is reported to be a Intel Core i7 CPU, 8GB RAM, and an Nvidia GPU, which would run pretty much any PC games in high quality.

Maybe for once, I might consider getting a console. I mean heck, a console with specs better than what my PC currently have? Shut up and take my money! It's great to see Valve venturing into consoles, and not just sticking to the PC platform. Although Valve has not confirmed any of the reports yet, they should be making announcements in the near future.

  5. I would buy this without even thinking. Valve is easily the best developer of all time. This would probably also mean my console TF2 would look the same as my PC TF2, I hate playing FPS's with a mouse.

    1. Valve is one of the few game companies that actually listens to the players.

  10. while it's a platform it's a far cry from a console
    a structured hardware will make it easier for developers as consoles do but in effect it's still just a pc
    though I must say I'd be very interesting in seeing what kind of OS they put together

  11. Wow. I mean, I was never interested in consoles, I was always a PC gamer.. But a console made by Steam! This is the people that I trust with quality, so I would probably consider it if went out!
