In a comparison video posted on X by GameVerse, we can see a gameplay clip from Alan Wake II. The performance of the new Steam Machine is compared to that of the base PS5 in Performance Mode. Keep in mind that the frame rate achieved by Valve’s console fails to match that of the PS5.

This news has naturally sparked reactions from internet users, who have brought up the price of this new machine. In terms of pricing, and despite recent price hikes from Sony, the standard PS5 starts at €549.99 without a disc drive and €649.99 with a disc drive, compared to €1,039 for the most affordable Steam Machine model.
