To achieve this accessibility, Valve is modifying <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/valve-will-stop-producing-one-of-its-most-popular-models-of-steam-deck\">the conditions for a game to obtain the &#8216;Verified&#8217; stamp<\/a>, which has been a distinctive element of the Steam Deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The easiest verification ever<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to statements from Lawrence Yang, designer at Valve, the next Steam Machine will have \u201cfewer restrictions\u201d for a title to receive verification. <strong>This is significant as the new system will have more power and will not be limited by the technical restrictions of portable devices<\/strong>. If a game is already &#8216;Verified&#8217; on Steam Deck, it is very likely that it will also be on Steam Machine, which translates to greater clarity for consumers when making purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Currently, more than 13,000 games are compatible with Steam Deck, and the Steam Machine catalog is expected to be even broader. <strong>This will allow players to enjoy a rich library without worrying about configuration issues or inconsistent performance<\/strong>, something that has historically been one of the frustrations of PC gaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Steam - Official Hardware Announcement Trailer\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JhTvaRogQp8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, Valve has paid special attention to hardware, introducing the Steam Controller Puck, a wireless receiver that also serves as a charging base for the remote control. <strong>This innovation aims to reduce interference and complications, allowing users to play &#8220;without touching anything,&#8221; thus reinforcing the idea of simple and accessible gaming.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the price of the Steam Machine has not yet been revealed, <strong>it is <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/the-steam-machine-might-not-cost-500-euros-or-less-after-all\">speculated that it should be set below 500 euros<\/a><strong>, maintaining a competitive focus in the current market of consoles and gaming devices<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Steam\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/3047d89c-96d0-11e6-8546-00163ed833e7\/2505233623\/steam-download.jpg\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Steam<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/steam.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/steam.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Valve is working on the new Steam Machine, a device that promises to offer PC gamers a gaming experience similar to that of home consoles.
