DEBUNKED: Valve Is Building a 'Steam Console' To Rival PS5 and Xbox, Rumour Claims
insider-gaming.com
The latest rumours have suggested that Valve is (still) building a 'Steam console' to rival PlayStation and Xbox units.

Debunk from dev Pierre-Loup Griffais ‪@plagman.bsky.social‬

“we’ve done pre-release Mesa Vulkan work on every AMD architecture since Vega thanks to them kindly providing hardware, so there’s nothing meaningful to read into there.”

    Yeah I get all of that. I’m just saying if you want to do it, you can, today. And it’s not even terribly complicated.

        aesthetics, build quality, assurance that it’d all work smoothly, the whole experience just wouldn’t be the same

        You’re right, it’d probably be way better…and it would be customized to your preferences and price point.

        which is to say nothing about the fact that SteamOS doesn’t really work on hardware that’s dissimilar to the steamdeck…

        You’re right again, you could use Bazzite or Nobara or Chimera and have an even better experience. Ask me how I know.
