Steam Machine Prices Revealed, How Much Would they Cost in the Philippines?
Steam has revealed how the new Steam Machine will cost when the first wave of units go live on June 30, but how much would it cost if it was sold in the Philippines?
For starters, here’s the given price range from Steam:
512GB, no controller - $1,049
512GB + Steam Controller - $1,128
2TB, no controller - $1,349
2TB + Steam Controller - $1,428
Registering for a unit in the US
Right now, it’s only available in select regions. For those in the US, you can visit this link to register before June 25, 10 AM PT/ 1PM ET. You can repeat this process as many times as you need for as many models but everyone has a good chance at being part of the reservation list.
For added measure, you must have a Steam account in good standing and need to have made at least one purchase on Steam prior to April 27, 2026.
To be clear: you are registering to be part of the reservation list.
Other regions, like the UK, Japan, Taiwan, EU, Australia, and Hong Kong, have their own sign up methods.
For those in the Philippines, there’s no official option, sadly, so you’ll have to find “other means” to get the unit, which will be tough as, despite the steep prices, the first waves are expected to be very limited and people will jump at this when the first batch starts shipping on June 29.
But, eventually, these units will find their way here, just like how the Steam Decks are available here, despite those in the Philippines not being able to purchase them directly from Steam.
Steam Machine Converted Prices for the Philippines
Here’s how much a Steam Machine could cost based on conversions (PHP61/USD).
512GB - ₱64,000
512GB + controller - ₱68,800
2TB - ₱82,300
2TB + controller - ₱87,100
These are assumptions as there’s no official pricing, and knowing local stores, they could bump prices even slightly.
A Steam Machine at it’s lowest possible option is still likely going to set you back over 60k, which isn't ideal if you're using it for both gaming and light computer work, as 512GB doesn't go far when games alone can run past 50GB, sometimes over 100GB.
You can increase storage in the future if you opt for the base model as these machines are upgradable, but that’s still money out of your pocket to justify the purchase.
It’s an expensive box, more expensive than even the PS5 systems that received a insane price bump in the Philippines lately.
It’s also worth noting that Steam Machine have these specs:
CPU: Custom AMD chip, Zen 4-based, 6 cores / 12 threads, up to ~4.86GHz, 16MB L3 cache
GPU: Custom AMD RDNA 3, 28 compute units (~RX 7600-class), up to 2.45GHz sustained
Graphics memory: 8GB GDDR6 (dedicated pool, not shared with system RAM)
System RAM: 16GB DDR5 (two 8GB SODIMMs)
That puts the Steam Machine below the PS5 Pro in graphical power and VRAM, despite costing more. If you just want a box that works out of the box, the PS5 Pro is the easier sell.
Why the price hike? Mostly because AI data centers are buying up the same RAM and storage these machines depend on, creating a global supply bottleneck that's pushed hardware prices up across the board. The Steam Machine's pricing shows it isn't immune to what's happening in the broader computer hardware market.
I’m not entirely sure where Steam Machine fits now that I'm seeing these prices, I’d prefer to set money aside and work towards a PC that could leave me satisfied after over 5 years of use. If I really want a box, current consoles, despite the absurd price increases, still feel like the same option. Even the Steam Deck feels more viable at this point.
The next question is how it is to use as a product, and we’ll see soon enough in the coming weeks after the first wave is shipped.
