3 new pieces of hardware revealed coming “2026”.
-
Steam Frame is a standalone VR headset. Release “early 2026”. ARM processor. Runs SteamOS. (Yes this translates games made for x86 on Windows into Linux on ARM using Proton and FEx). Inside out tracking. Up to 144Hz. 2160x2160. Can also run Android APKs. Includes 6GHz stick for wireless streaming.
-
Steam Controller. Basically what we’ve been expecting. Just took the controls off the Steam Deck and bolted them to a controller. TMR magnetic thumbsticks. Has a weird like magnetic charging/pairing dock thingy that sticks on the back, but can still just be charged with USB-C.
-
Steam Machine. Cubic, softball-sized mini PC (like, literally its just a computer, much like the Steam Deck). AMD GPU. Obviously runs SteamOS as well. No word on HDMI-CEC that I can find. 300W power supply. 6x more powerful than Steam Deck.
I’m going to keep updating this thread with links as I find them. Add more in the comments.

Create a wine prefix, point it to the binary.
On Lutris this is “add already installed game”
On Steam this is “add non-steam game”
Though if you point your steam library to the location of the games it will detect them as already installed, then you can go to properties and tell it to use proton or set all non-linux games to use proton. (Proton is a wine wrapper with a steam dependency)
Oh, I didn’t realise I wanted to run all the games with native Linux versions through WINE.
Tell me, what problem is it that you think you are trying to solve? Because I have a working system already so I know there isn’t a problem.
