The public English store page has four distinct purchase options: 512 GB, 512 GB with Controller, 2 TB, and 2 TB with Controller. Store package 1629447 identifies the 512 GB option but is not a physical manufacturer model number. Availability is through reservation invitations and a waitlist. It does not mean unrestricted stock. Launch FAQ says purchase invitations start the week of June 29, 2026. Current iFixit repair documentation confirms June shipping.","markets":"Maker purchase FAQ identifies North America, United Kingdom/European Union, and Australia as separate shipping regions. USD, CAD, EUR, GBP and AUD launch listings corroborate the listed markets. Asian distributor markets are not included in this regional reference.","form_factor":"Core features explicitly calls the chassis Small form factor. Valve describes Steam Machine as a PC and an extension of PC gaming. The desktop type does not classify it as a home game console.","dimensions_mm":"Tech Specs, Size and Weight: 156 mm wide, 152 mm tall including feet, 162.4 mm deep. Height without feet is 148 mm. The precise labelled dimensions are used rather than the rounded 6-inch cube description.","cpu_clusters":"General tech specs states six cores and twelve threads, Zen 4, up to 4.8 GHz and 30 W TDP. No base clock or separate core-category classification is published, so neither is assigned. The platform name Fremont is not substituted for an AMD processor codename. The 4.8 GHz maker claim is retained instead of 4.86 GHz reported by pre-release benchmark uploads.","cpu_base_power_w":"Published semi-custom CPU rating is 30 W TDP. It is not measured wall power or a documented configurable peak power limit.","has_discrete_gpu":"CPU and GPU core-features section explicitly states discrete semi-custom AMD desktop-class CPU and GPU. These are separate chips, not an integrated graphics claim. No removable graphics card or slot is implied.","gpu":"Semi-custom AMD RDNA 3 GPU with 28 compute units. Maker states 2.45 GHz maximum sustained clock, which is not labelled a boost clock and is not stored in gpu_boost_clock_mhz.","gpu_tgp_max_w":"Maker GPU specification calls the 110 W envelope TDP. Matching PC Gamer final review describes it as 110 W TGP. This is the product's published GPU power envelope, not transient measured power.","storage":"Only the selected 512 GB NVMe SSD is stored. The separately sold 2 TB model and both controller bundles are excluded. No Steam Deck drive specification, SSD brand, NAND type, PCIe generation or sequential rate is borrowed.","front_ports":"I/O tech specs explicitly states two front USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports. Both models also have a high-speed microSD slot. Exact final review and repair guides show the card slot on the front. The review prose sometimes calls these USB 3.0, and Tom's Hardware prose calls them Gen 2, but the maker and that review's own specification table agree on Gen 1. No link rate is inferred from the version name.","rear_ports":"One DisplayPort 1.4, one HDMI 2.0, two USB-A 2.0 High Speed, one USB-C 3.2 Gen 2, one Gigabit Ethernet and one AC power input. PC Gamer confirms Type-C data rate 10 Gbps and final photographs confirm physical counts. Display outputs serve the discrete AMD GPU. Maker advertises DP up to 4K 240 Hz or 8K 60 Hz and HDMI up to 4K 120 Hz, with HDR and FreeSync. HDMI also supports CEC and DP supports daisy-chaining. These are output claims, not measured rendering frame rates. Chroma and DSC conditions are not specified, so no unsupported display mode table is added.","bluetooth_version":"Maker and PC Gamer review body state Bluetooth 5.3 with dedicated antenna. PC Gamer summary table's Bluetooth 5.2 entry conflicts with its own text and is excluded. Built-in 2.4 GHz Steam Controller radio does not mean a controller is supplied.","lighting_zones":"Published 17 individually addressable RGB LEDs form one status strip, with configurable colors and animations. LED count is not a count of independent physical lighting zones. No 5 V ARGB connector standard is inferred.","os":"Software tech specs states SteamOS 3, Arch-based, with KDE Plasma desktop.

It reviews the 2 TB controller bundle but explicitly describes the common Steam Machine chassis and processor hardware. Its game results, temperatures and other measured results are not transferred to the 512 GB model. No case-fan count is stored because this fan is attached to the shared CPU/GPU heatsink.","colors":"Standard chassis and default front faceplate are black. Red fabric and solid walnut extra faceplates supplied with 2 TB models are not 512 GB color variants. White-background photograph depicts the default black retail assembly only.","wifi_antenna":"Final hardware review and OEM repair guides document antennas inside the chassis. No external user-installed Wi-Fi antenna is included. Wi-Fi bands and radio module model are not inferred from Wi-Fi 6E alone.","game_fps_measured":"PC Gamer tested the 2 TB Steam Controller bundle. Valve and Tom's Hardware state that the 512 GB and 2 TB models are identical apart from storage, so CPU, GPU, memory and cooling match. The 1440p rows come from PC Gamer's gaming benchmark suite and the Steam Machine is the first entry of each chart. Cyberpunk 2077 uses RT Medium and the review text names FSR Quality with no frame generation for the upscaled run. The review does not name the upscaler for Black Myth: Wukong.

One occupied 16 GB slot and one free slot reflect Valve's later June 25 correction reported by Tom's Hardware. Earlier GamersNexus text allowed either 1 x 16 GB or 2 x 8 GB, but that was explicitly corrected by Valve for shipping units.

This is not tool-less access to system components.

No chassis-volume calculation or mechanical board size is substituted.","ram_speed_mts":"Review explicitly states 16 GB DDR5-5600 for both marketed storage models.

Unverified proprietary fan/header standards are omitted.","bios_overclocking":"BIOS section states there are no overclocking options and no TDP or PPT bypasses and no memory speed or timing controls. Performance settings are limited and set inside the OS.","psu_standard":"Review calls the supply a custom power supply with a blade connector. The GamersNexus parts table lists an internal 300 W PSU. No standard form factor is named, so proprietary is used.","game_fps_measured":"GamersNexus tested the 512 GB model on SteamOS with MangoHud, out of the box.
