June 23 at 1 p.m. ET is when Valve is reportedly set to announce the Steam Machine’s price and release date, with pre-orders said to open June 30.
About $1,500 is the expected price, up from roughly $1,000 when Valve first presented the device last year, according to the report.
The higher figure is tied to AI-driven component shortages and an energy crisis that have squeezed costs and may have pushed the launch beyond its original first-quarter target.
Steam Hardware Updates is the source of the claim, but it is a debut report and Valve has not commented, leaving the timing and pricing unconfirmed.
