Steam Machine Is On Track To Ship Early This Year, AMD Says

As GamesBeat reported, AMD's CEO Lisa Su revealed some noteworthy details during the company's latest earnings call about two upcoming gaming devices, Valve's Steam Machine and Microsoft's next-generation Xbox, both of which are powered by AMD chips.

"From a product standpoint, Valve is on track to begin shipping its AMD-powered Steam Machine early this year, and development of Microsoft's next-gen Xbox featuring an AMD semi-custom SoC is progressing well to support a launch in 2027," said Lisa Su.

Valve's Steam Machine already has a confirmed 2026 release window, though no further details have been announced. As for Xbox, there has been speculation that the next console could arrive around 2027-2028, but Lisa Su's wording doesn't confirm anything. It simply suggests that if Microsoft were to target a 2027 release, AMD would be prepared to support that request.

In the past, Microsoft hinted that the next-generation Xbox might be a hybrid of a console and a PC, describing it as "a very premium, very high-end curated experience." For anyone following the industry closely, one thing is obvious: any upcoming video game consoles and similar devices are likely to be very, very expensive.
