Valve's latest moves have sent shockwaves through the gaming world, reshaping PC gaming once again. The tech giant has unveiled not one, not two, but three new devices that are set to revolutionize the way we play games.
First up is the Steam Machine, a compact PC desktop designed specifically for gaming. This tiny powerhouse packs a punch, offering improved performance and convenience compared to traditional PCs. But what's really exciting about this device is its potential to democratize access to high-end gaming hardware.
Next, Valve has announced the Steam Frame VR headset, which promises to deliver an immersive gaming experience like never before. With advanced tracking technology and sleek design, this headset looks set to put VR gaming on the map.
And finally, there's the updated Steam Controller, which offers improved ergonomics and new features that will appeal to both casual and hardcore gamers. This controller is a masterclass in design, offering the perfect balance of comfort and precision.
But what does all this mean for PC gaming? For Devindra Hardawar and Engadget's Jessica Conditt, it means a whole lot more than just new hardware. It means a new era of innovation and creativity, where gamers can push the boundaries of what's possible with their machines.
As they discuss these devices on the latest episode of the Engadget Podcast, Jessica shares her thoughts on the latest games that made her favorite list of 2025. From indie darlings like Silksong to big-name blockbusters, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.
And as for what's on the horizon, Jessica and Devindra are looking forward to some truly exciting titles that promise to shake up the gaming world. With Valve leading the charge once again, it's anyone's guess what the future of PC gaming holds – but one thing's for sure: it's going to be an interesting ride.
