Valve has already sent support for the new Steam Controller upstream: https://www.phoronix.com/news/New-Steam-Controller-SDL

Valve Announces New Steam Machine, Steam Controller and Steam Frame for release in 2026. There is an image of a Steam Controller, which looks like a hybrid between the original Steam Controller and the layout and trackpads of the Steam Deck.

even more nuts is that it will support pc games via FEX, an emulation layer that runs x86 windows games on ARM in Linux

In addition to streaming from your battlestation

Im guessing Vive prices. Id be suprised at less than 1k, but no word on it yet.

Valve said they expect it to be cheaper than the Index, so it shouldn't be more than 1k

Frankly it all three are logical next steps. With the way windows is going, valve needs to decouple it's store from the windows dependency. The deck was the tester, now we get the not so cheep next generation

I just want them to let me isolate Anticheat BS like the virus it is. All of these hostile Game Studios are full of shit for forcing it. Not happy with BF6 over it still.

It's not going away. But I could see someone smart figuring out isolation.

I mean, that was the goal of the original steam machines from 2012 or whatever

I'm sure they'll be as aggressive with price as the Steam Deck was. The tiny battery and knuckles hand tracking being an optional accessory this time suggest that.
