The announcement follows the unveiling of the HTC Vive, a virtual reality headset based on the research Valve’s been doing semi-privately over the last several years. The device seems intended to sit in the living room, with a max 1080p output at 60 Hz. The box will work with Windows, Mac, Linux, and the upcoming Steam Machines, the line of console-like PCs that resulted in last year’s Alienware Alpha and other miniature gaming PCs based on Windows when Valve wasn’t quite ready to go with Steam OS.
This puts it at half the price of the Razer Forge TV, another mini-set-top box meant to stream high-end PC games. Valve says the new gadget, which it’s calling the Steam Link, will sell for $49 when it arrives in November. Valve continues its push into hardware, as the company has announced that it plans to release a new gadget later this year that will let Steam users stream games from their PCs to any room in the house.
