insider-gaming.com
The latest rumours have suggested that Valve is (still) building a 'Steam console' to rival PlayStation and Xbox units.

Debunk from dev Pierre-Loup Griffais ‪@plagman.bsky.social‬

“we’ve done pre-release Mesa Vulkan work on every AMD architecture since Vega thanks to them kindly providing hardware, so there’s nothing meaningful to read into there.”

    but something a bit more powerful that allows me to play Steam games in 4k on my TV would be awesome.

    I got news for you! You can literally build a computer to do this right now, no need to wait for steam.

      Do you want some eggs? I got news for you! You can literally build a chicken shed right now, no need to wait for farmers.

      Seriously, the same captain obvious answer all the time when a Steam console is mentioned. It’s infuriating. Consoles exist for a reason, to provide a ready and verified environment for playing games without any fiddling.

      I know that. I want something ready to go with a dedicated controller and not fiddle around with components myself that may run too hot or are too noisy etc.
