Valve, the company behind PC gaming platform Steam, has revealed a new console to rival Nintendo, Xbox and PlayStation.

The Steam Machine is a home console designed to allow gamers to play PC games on their TV - though it can also be used as a computer.

It is a spiritual sequel to the 2014 device of the same name, which failed to break into a market dominated by the three big gaming giants.

Prices for those consoles, back then, started at $499 (£300) - but Valve's latest iteration is expected to cost a good deal more as it packs a far greater punch.

The Steam Machine will go on sale in early 2026, the company said, with the pricing yet to be announced.
