- Valve designed the Steam Machine to enable playing PC games comfortably on large living room TVs with a console-like form factor.
- The device is compact, quiet, and visually appealing, yet provides lower performance than similarly priced gaming PCs or the PS5 Pro.
- Its high price, heavily impacted by the global chip shortage, places it at a disadvantage compared to consoles and custom PC builds.
- While offering greater flexibility through an open architecture, the Steam Machine faces compatibility issues with many popular games using anti-cheat systems.
