First Steam OS, now Steam Machines – step two of Valve’s assault on the living room

[Author: ]

[Time Published September 25, 2013 at 09:51PM]

[ < - - Content ]

Valve, the video game developer behind Half-Life and Portal, earlier this week announced SteamOS, its forthcoming Linux-based operating system designed specifically for its game technology, designed for the living room rather than a PC or Mac. Now the company is unveiling the second part of its strategy for home entertainment domination: Steam Machines, dedicated boxes running SteamOS.

Valve says it’s working with multiple partners to bring a range of Steam Machines to market in 2014. Little is known about the devices, but Valve says that 300 lucky Steam users will be able to get their hands on the devices early. The boxes will be going out to applicants for a beta program offered by Valve (instructions for signing up are on their web site).

Valve has made no secret of its plans to move Steam gaming from the PC to the living room. The company acknowledged last year that it was working on a dedicated hardware device to play Steam games on.

Just yesterday Valve revealed plans to release SteamOS as a free operating system for anyone running a Linux-compatible computer. Some gamers have scratched their heads about the choice of Linux, as Linux graphic drivers have historically underperformed compared to Windows or even Mac drivers. But Valve says they’ve tweaked graphics drivers in SteamOS to be quite fast indeed. What’s more, a box running SteamOS will enable players to stream live video from a connected Mac or PC over the network.

Since its release for OS X in 2010, Steam has become a strong resource for Mac game players looking for the latest games. The service provides downloads of games from major publishers and independents alike, and offers championship ladders, achievements and a chat framework so players can talk with one another.

Are you excited about adding a set top box running SteamOS to your collection of home entertainment hardware? Or do you prefer to keep your Steam gaming separate? Let me know in the comments.

State of Decay hits Steam tomorrow as an experiment in co-op development

The first is filled with the technology that ensures the zombie-filled action game runs on a wide variety of hardware.

"There's a huge difference between having a game up and running on PC and having a game running well on anyone's PC," the developer's founder told Polygon in a recent interview.

Undead Labs has been developing a Windows PC port of State of Decay alongside the Xbox 360 version that was released in June. Tomorrow, the developer will release a nascent PC version for $20 through Steam Early Access. We spoke with Strain about porting the game to PC and why he believes that bringing a work-in-progress to Steam will produce the best possible game.

"We wanted really to be able to support the full spectrum of modern hardware."
