Steam Machine Review: Solid but Struggles Against PS5 - tech
(hx) 01:25 AM CEST - Jun,23 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)
Digital Foundry has released a detailed performance review of Valve's new Steam Machine.

The compact PC delivers decent results in many games thanks to its AMD Zen 4 CPU and RDNA 3 GPU, but falls short in demanding titles.

In direct comparisons, the Steam Machine often runs 3-17% behind the PS5 in games like Black Myth: Wukong and Alan Wake 2, partly due to memory limitations.

It shines with native Steam library access and SteamOS convenience for living-room gaming.

Priced from $1,049, many reviewers question its value compared to building a similar PC or buying a PS5.
