- It is rumored that Valve is working on a steam console
- The rumors suggest that the console will use the next RDNA 4 RADEON RX 9070 GPU of AMD
- This could provide very necessary competition within the domestic console market.
Valve’s Steam is the theme of the day once again, and no, it is not the rumors of Steam 2 that was recently shot down by Valve, but rather another rumor that suggests even more than the giant of the games becomes a real strength in the hardware market.
As reported by WCCFTECH, the new rumor comes from handledck on X (transmitted by a Spanish filter known as ecstas1s) and suggests that Valve is currently working on a ‘steam console’, which could use the new RDNA GPU 4 Radeon Radon Radon Radon 9070 of AMD. No, this is probably not a triumphant return of failed steam machines.
This would be huge, since it could mean that players would have the option of an hybrid/PC games console experience, since it would probably adopt the steam deck steams: the PS5 and Xbox X series already use the RDNA 2 architecture, so That this would be great competition for both Sony and Microsoft: if it is true, of course. Based on rumors that FSR 4 are exclusive to the RDNA 4 GPUs, it could mean great news for those looking for the last and best gaming game performance of NVIDIA hardware.
The reasoning behind this suggestion is that Valve is working on the driver’s support for the RX 9070 GPU, taking into account that the average market position supposedly of GPU (which, granted, we cannot clarify until it is launched), I would not be too far from a possibility here. Once again, this is still only a rumor, so take it with a pinch of considerable salary, but since the steam cover 2 will not arrive soon, it would make sense that this is what is going to go below.
This could be Sony’s necessary impulse with respect to PlayStation 5
For a long time, Sony has advanced with certain decisions that have not been well with fans, particular . In my opinion, there have not been many really amazing games during the Era of PS5 (especially compared to the large collection of great success titles of the PS4), and this is doubly evident with the numerous remassers and remakes that simply do not need that treatment.
With a Steam console, players would have access to a larger game library (thanks to the Steam store), and this even includes some PlayStation exclusive that have now reached the PC. We have heard rumors and suggestions that very anticipated titles such as GTA 6 It is also not guaranteed that 60 fps be executed in PS5.
If a Steam console is thrown with a powerful CPU to label the AMD Rx 9070 RX 9070 GPU, this will certainly give the PS5 a race for its money and leave Sony forced to intensify its game, so I really hope you have A real grain to this particular rumor.
