Those who have signed up to buy one have been placed on a randomized reservation list, which Valve is slowly working through. "We expect everyone in the reservation queue will have the option to purchase by the end of this year." "If you have a reservation, you can expect an email offering you the chance to purchase by the end of the year," Valve says. Ed game the Valve's Gabe Cube a middling 6/10 in our Steam Machine review, saying that it "delivers on ease of use, but its price is a non-starter, and it only really suits certain games." Either way, if you've got cash to splash and you're on the reservation list, you'll hopefully have your Machine by the end of 2026.
