Valve says Steam Machine will be ‘priced like a PC’, not a console

Valve's upcoming Steam Machine, positioned as a PC-based console alternative, is expected to be priced similarly to a high-end PC, potentially surpassing the cost of current consoles like the PS5 Pro, which is priced at $799. Despite its powerful specifications, including a six-core Zen 4 CPU and custom RDNA 3 GPU, the Steam Machine's GPU may not meet the demands for 4K gaming, making its high price point a potential barrier for consumers considering it as a console replacement.
