After months of rumors and leaks, Valve has officially announced 3 new hardware products that could transform console gaming and VR:

A new Steam Controller (modeled after the Steam Deck's form factor), a new Steam Machine console, perfect for couch gaming, and the Steam Frame, a new inside-out, wireless VR headset that can run games natively and stream them from your PC.

These three devices, on top of the handheld experience offered by the Steam Deck, along with years of updates and iterations to SteamOS and Steam Input, puts Valve in a fascinating position to completely upend what "console gaming" means in the next decade.

We discuss the specs, potential price points, and our excitement around the SteamOS ecosystem.

Plus: Rockstar Games apparently sucks.
