In recent years, we have seen how much the portable consoles have drawn the attention of a large number of companies, one of the first which has launched a device that has tried to combine the power of a PC in a Portable system was valve, its steam bridge has become one of the favorite devices of players. But apparently Valve He does not want to stay here because they could work on a type of console This would really use PC equipment combined with SN to compete with Microsoft and Sony.
For many people, the fact that Valve has created an operating system that optimizes the maximum resources of a device is something that should reach other types of systems that are not only portable consoles, and apparently, 'Company could work there in order to enter the market of normal models in which Microsoft and Sony have leadership.
The next valve project could go through the console market
More and more rumors and leaks that we know in terms of the largest companies in the world are, and in this case, the brand behind Steam could have had a fairly important filtration on its next project. Apparently Valve works to develop and optimize a series of drivers for the following graphics cards Dmla Raft RX 9070 based on RDNA4That they will reach the market shortly, which does not make much sense to normal if we think that the vast majority of users of its main application use Nvidia graphics.
In addition to that, the fact that the company works on specific engines for the architecture of DNR 4, which, as we know, will only arrive for dedicated graphics cards, implies that they obviously think Not to incorporate them into their next portable console. This would in turn indicate that they would prepare their own operating system to receive a series of updates that would make it entirely compatible with these graphs, but with the rest of the components?
In this case, from the valve, they would work internally to develop a type of console which takes the Steamos license brand, considering the new AMD graphic as the main core of the device. It ultimately comes from a rumor based on the work that the company does with the pilots of this graph, so it can be something completely different, like an external GPU for the Steam 2 bridge or that it is simply A requirement for other companies can use them to develop “consoles” with this operating system and with PC equipment, such as old steam machines.
Is it the rebirth of steam machines?
As we have said before, it is possible that the main reason why Valve focuses on the development of these specific drivers could be to try to bring back the steam machines on the market, which did not have any too important success during their time. This combination of console and personal computer that was launched for the first time in 2015 tried to teach users that there were more devices that could argue, but which ended up falling into the 'Oblivion due to the growing need for power, because this mini-PC in the format could not carry generational changes.
Now, if the company decides to take another path and develop its own console, it could be the moment when they triumph, we are known to optimize resources to the maximum, so if they are combined with decent equipment for PC , the same can last the same as a generation of consoles, offering higher performance than Microsoft and Sony models.
But that would also imply a fairly high price, because the combination of latest generation components can increase costs, although taking into account that the PS5 PRO costs 900 $, it is not difficult to mount a system at a price either similar that offers superior power.
