Steam Machine costs €1,039 for the 512GB model and up to €1,428 for 2TB with a Steam Controller. In the UK that is £879 to £1,208, in the US $1,049 to $1,428. The euro prices are what Steam shows on 12 November 2026 including VAT, and they are the same across the EU region. Valve sells it only through Steam, and as of 12 November 2026 every model is waitlist-only. Status as of 12 November 2026.

What the 2TB model and the controller bundle add
All four options have the same CPU, GPU and memory. The only hardware difference is storage: a 512GB or 2TB NVMe SSD. Both have a microSD slot on the front, so you can add space to the smaller model later with a card.
The 2TB models also come with two extra faceplates: one in red fabric and one in solid walnut. The faceplate attaches magnetically. In euros the step from 512GB to 2TB is €320.
The Steam Controller bundle costs €69 more than Steam Machine alone. The controller costs €99 by itself, so the bundle saves you €30. Steam Machine has the wireless adapter for the controller built in, so you need no extra accessory to pair it. What the controller can do is covered in our Steam Controller guide, and the full hardware table is in the Steam Machine specs.
Why Steam Machine costs this much
Valve blames component prices. According to the company, RAM and storage have become much more expensive over the past year, and its original target price was “no longer realistic”. Some components were at times impossible to get at all, which also limited how many units were ready for launch.
Valve explained this in its launch post on 22 June 2026, and Tom’s Hardware and PCWelt reported the same reasoning.
For comparison: Steam Deck and Steam Controller
Since 27 May 2026, Steam Deck OLED costs €779 for 512GB and €919 for 1TB. The cheapest Steam Machine is therefore €260 more than a Deck with the same storage. Deck has a screen and a battery, though, while Steam Machine needs a TV or monitor and a controller or mouse and keyboard. Our Steam Deck price guide has the details, and we compare both machines in Machine vs Deck.
The Steam Controller on its own is €99. If you want one for your PC or Steam Deck as well, taking it in the bundle is the cheaper route.
Where to buy at the official price
Valve sells Steam Machine directly through Steam. It does not list any authorised retailer in the EU on its own pages; the only distributor it names is KOMODO for Asia.
As of 12 November 2026, the store page offers only a waitlist sign-up for all four models. New sign-ups go to the back of the list. On 28 July 2026 Valve promised that everyone in the reservation queue will get the option to buy by the end of 2026; it gave no date for the waitlist. How the queue works, what to do when the email arrives and how refunds work is in our guide on how to buy. For the big picture, see our Steam Machine overview.
