The Orange Box or a Portal 1&2 collection on Switch would be great.

Curious to see what they are planning to do. Would buy Half Life Alyx for PSVR2 in a heartbeat.

Steam Machines didn’t take off. Game Pass on Steam. Xbox becomes a PC like semi open platform. I fucking wish but sounds too good to be true.

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Why link to that channel, he just stole it from reddit and his own speculation is always dumb/riddled with hot takes.
It could mean anything. That if they do nothing by end of the year, it's a no. That they're working on a port of a game or two, not like they're making many these days for that to be huge news...
That they're gonna have some sort of account linking or whatever for crossplay. Or work with consoles more like game pass/microsoft. Etc.
Don't expect any console manufacturer to let you play your whole Steam backlog on their machine, natively (impossible) or streamed (I mean not from a local network, I guess they could enable Steam Link functionality, that's minor) and not buy their games directly from them/sellers.
And if it's Steam Machine v.2.0, well who even really cares, they were just branded PCs with a free OS, it's always better to buy your PC searching for best prices by part. There can never be a true Steam console as all the games are PC games.
Also, Valve time®, that end of the year could become end of 2025.

When people say steam on Xbox, what do they mean by that exactly?

Imagine steam integration on Xbox. Like full. I can't honestly, would be an immeasurable shock to me.
Can it be possible?

I still don't get it. With Gamepass on Steam, Valve and Microsoft somehow have to compensate third party publishers for the loss of individual sales on Steam. And how would Steam on Xbox benefit Microsoft? PC games are a lot cheaper than console.

Would be great for then to bring their VR stuff to PSVR2.

I always thought a curated set of games on a Steam app on Xbox could always work.

Could be a VR storefront only

Every time I read a comment where someone even speculates that this means your Steam library may show up on PS5/XSX, I feel profoundly worried for the future of humanity.

why not? xbox already supports keyboard/mouse support. they could just flag certain games as keyboard/mouse only if they dont work properly with a controller (like RTS games for example)

I'm probably missing something, but why is the fact that Gabe could be trolling out of the picture? Like, if we reach the end of the year and there's no Valve game on consoles, well, you also "get a better idea of that".
Not with the current xbox development agreements, you have to support controller it seems.
I know it isn't the popular opinion but I agree with them as they currently are.

I’m not as enamoured as most people in this thread. Valve hasn’t made a good game in over a decade.

I don’t get your first point, the compensation is that MS pays publishers to put their games on GP. Doesn’t change anything that GP is available via Steam or directly (same as EA Play which you can get on Steam).
The benefit for Microsoft is obvious, access to a huge catalog of PC games not currently available on Xbox.
My guess though is Steam will have its own streaming client which will be available via browsers on consoles.

Ricochet 2 coming to Nintendo switch!
I hope it's HL:Alyx for psvr2

Half life Alyx is an amazing game.
Microsoft isn't in the game retail market anymore their primary platform is gamepass. Expanding the library of Xbox to 100x the size of their nearest competitor drives Xbox adoption which itself is just a gamepass vector.
Valve knows subscription services are the future so they stand to gain by becoming part of the gamepass delivery service on pc and Microsoft looses a few sales on Xbox while turbocharging the potential console gamepass audience.
I suspect each would share a minor cut in either scenario

Think it's roughly 50/50 between alyx on psvr2 and GamePass something or nothing
(Unless its just an alyx PS port) Playstation gains nothing from a move like this

I’m not into the whole VR craze so I can’t comment, but people seem to be raving about that game.

Steam on Xbox is *actual* crazy talk, but It's not crazy to assume Xbox is a part of it, Valve's gotta good working relationship with MS and this could be part of a give-and-take agreement (precisely the sort of stuff Valve does) to get Game Pass on Steam.
My wild guesses for this are:
- HL:Alyx for PS5 VR.
- DOTA2 & CSGO for PS/Xbox (can't let Wild Rift claim the console space without a fight).
- Steam chat integration on Xbox.
