Valve Delays Steam Machine Again – 2026 Release Amid Memory Shortages
Valve has delayed the release of the Steam Machine again to 2026 due to global shortages of memory components, despite earlier promises of a launch this year. The console, equipped with Zen 4 and RDNA 3, is expected to run Windows games via Proton, but exact release dates remain uncertain. Valve continues to aim for a first-half 2026 launch while facing persistent supply chain challenges. The delay raises concerns about the device’s competitiveness against Microsoft’s Project Helix and its ability to attract PC gamers.
Lenovo Legion Go 2 and Legion Go S with SteamOS Now Available – Performance and Pricing Compared
Lenovo now offers both the Legion Go 2 with the weaker AMD Ryzen Z2 SoC and the SteamOS-enabled Legion Go S, available for €499 at Mediamarkt.de and Saturn.de.
