A 2 TB model is also available at $1,349 or $1,428 with the controller. - **Steam Machine Pre-orders Open** [0:28] — Pre-orders are available on Steam.

The pricing reflects recent increases in PC component costs, especially RAM, which has driven up costs beyond initial speculation of $700-$800. - **God of War: La Faye Development History** [1:42] — Deborah Ann Woll revealed in an interview that she learned about God of War: La Faye nearly a decade ago. Director Cory Barlog pitched the idea to her in 2018, and it has been planned since before then, with a poster featuring her character in a cube dating back to the 2018 game. - **Future of God of War Franchise** [2:25] — PlayStation has confirmed there will be more God of War stories featuring Kratos, alongside the upcoming La Faye game, though no release date has been announced. ### Conclusion The Steam Machine is now available for pre-order at a premium price, while God of War fans can look forward to a long-planned spin-off and continued adventures with Kratos. ## Transcript What's up everybody? Damon here and for today's daily fix, we have the Steam Machine's [music] price finally revealed and just how long God of War La has been planned. [music] This is your daily fix. [snorts] Presented by Universal Orlando Resort and its newest theme [music] park, Universal Epic Universe. After months of speculation, the Steam Machine is finally here. starting at $1,049 for the 512 gig version. If that price is still within your budget, you can reserve it now on Steam. That starting price gets you just the 512 gig version of the mini gaming PC without the Steam controller. If you want to add the controller, there is a bundle for $1,28, which means you're getting Valve's controller for $79 rather than the 99 bucks it'll cost you by itself. Valve is also selling a two terbte model which will set you back 1,349 for just the machine or 1428 bundled with the Steam controller. That's a steep price to be sure, but Valve is packing two additional face plates with every two TB console. So, you at least get some added customization options. Way back when Valve first revealed the Steam machine, we guessed it would cost somewhere around $7 to $800. We were probably right at the time, but the costs for PC components, particularly RAM, have skyrocketed over the last 6 months. That 149 is going to be a hard pill to swallow for anyone weighing it against the PS5 or Xbox Series X, both of which are more affordable, at least for now. But while the Steam Machine is quite a bit more expensive than any of the gaming consoles, it is still a gaming PC. And in that world, the Steam Machine's price tag isn't quite as painful, especially when you consider how tiny it is. Many gaming PCs with this kind of horsepower can cost hundreds more than the Steam Machine currently does. Moving on, God of War: La Fay, featuring Kratos's wife Fay as his protagonist, may have come as a surprise to some, but not to its star, Deborah Anwal, who first heard about the project almost a decade ago. She revealed in an interview with CGM, I've known about this for nearly 10 years, and I haven't been able to talk about it. The Daredevil actor went on to say that the director of God of War's 2018 reboot, Cory Barlo, not only told her about this plan way back around the time of that game's release, but also knew that it would feature one of her sidekicks in the reveal trailer, Jack Quig's Talking Cube. Wall said he pitched it to me in 2018 and they had known about it before then. It's wild. Like when Corey brought me in to talk about doing Ragnarok and show me the 2018 game, he already had a poster for the La game with me in a cube. A cube that's been there since the beginning. It's deeply a part of the lore. We still don't know when we'll be playing God of War Lay, but fear not Kratos fans, there will be more games featuring everyone's favorite angry Greek god with PlayStation saying there are many more stories to tell. And that is your daily fix for Monday, June 22nd. [music] Now that you're caught up on the news, watch our Steam Machine review. I'm Damon Hadfield and for all your video game news, stay tuned at
