Steam Machine Price Revealed - IGN Daily Fix YT

[00:00] What's up everybody? Damon here and for

[00:01] today's daily fix, we have the Steam

[00:03] Machine's [music] price finally revealed

[00:05] and just how long God of War La has been

[00:07] planned. [music] This is your daily fix.

[00:18] [snorts]

[00:19] Presented by Universal Orlando Resort

[00:21] and its newest theme [music] park,

[00:22] Universal Epic Universe.

[00:26] After months of speculation, the Steam

[00:28] Machine is finally here. starting at

[00:30] $1,049 for the 512 gig version. If that

[00:33] price is still within your budget, you

[00:34] can reserve it now on Steam. That

[00:37] starting price gets you just the 512 gig

[00:39] version of the mini gaming PC without

[00:41] the Steam controller. If you want to add

[00:42] the controller, there is a bundle for

[00:44] $1,28, which means you're getting

[00:46] Valve's controller for $79 rather than

[00:48] the 99 bucks it'll cost you by itself.

[00:50] Valve is also selling a two terbte model

[00:52] which will set you back 1,349 for just

[00:55] the machine or 1428 bundled with the

[00:58] Steam controller. That's a steep price

[01:00] to be sure, but Valve is packing two

[01:02] additional face plates with every two TB

[01:04] console. So, you at least get some added

[01:05] customization options. Way back when

[01:07] Valve first revealed the Steam machine,

[01:08] we guessed it would cost somewhere

[01:09] around $7 to $800. We were probably

[01:12] right at the time, but the costs for PC

[01:14] components, particularly RAM, have

[01:16] skyrocketed over the last 6 months. That

[01:19] 149 is going to be a hard pill to

[01:20] swallow for anyone weighing it against

[01:22] the PS5 or Xbox Series X, both of which

[01:24] are more affordable, at least for now.

[01:26] But while the Steam Machine is quite a

[01:27] bit more expensive than any of the

[01:28] gaming consoles, it is still a gaming

[01:30] PC. And in that world, the Steam

[01:32] Machine's price tag isn't quite as

[01:34] painful, especially when you consider

[01:35] how tiny it is. Many gaming PCs with

[01:37] this kind of horsepower can cost

[01:39] hundreds more than the Steam Machine

[01:40] currently does. Moving on, God of War:

[01:43] La Fay, featuring Kratos's wife Fay as

[01:45] his protagonist, may have come as a

[01:46] surprise to some, but not to its star,

[01:48] Deborah Anwal, who first heard about the

[01:50] project almost a decade ago. She

[01:52] revealed in an interview with CGM, I've

[01:54] known about this for nearly 10 years,

[01:56] and I haven't been able to talk about

[01:57] it. The Daredevil actor went on to say

[01:59] that the director of God of War's 2018

[02:00] reboot, Cory Barlo, not only told her

[02:02] about this plan way back around the time

[02:04] of that game's release, but also knew

[02:06] that it would feature one of her

[02:07] sidekicks in the reveal trailer, Jack

[02:09] Quig's Talking Cube. Wall said he

[02:11] pitched it to me in 2018 and they had

[02:12] known about it before then. It's wild.

[02:14] Like when Corey brought me in to talk

[02:15] about doing Ragnarok and show me the

[02:17] 2018 game, he already had a poster for

[02:19] the La game with me in a cube. A cube

[02:21] that's been there since the beginning.

[02:23] It's deeply a part of the lore. We still

[02:24] don't know when we'll be playing God of

[02:26] War Lay, but fear not Kratos fans, there

[02:28] will be more games featuring everyone's

[02:30] favorite angry Greek god with

[02:31] PlayStation saying there are many more

[02:33] stories to tell. And that is your daily

[02:35] fix for Monday, June 22nd. [music] Now
