Steam just made $11 billion in the last 6 months, and most of it came from older games

Bottom line: Steam just posted its strongest half-year ever. In the first six months of 2026, it's estimated that games sold through the platform generated $11.1 billion in gross revenue, a record haul for the PC storefront. That figure is close to what Steam generated across all of 2021, a year boosted by pandemic lockdowns – also only 21% of that revenue comes from games released in 2026. The rest came from older titles in Steam's back catalog.

Forward-looking: Valve's Steam Machine signals the company's willingness to push Steam beyond software and into a proper hardware platform. But hardware is only half the story. Alongside gaming devices, Valve has been quietly laying the groundwork for something potentially more significant: a version of SteamOS that runs on just about any PC you care to throw at it.

Valve's Steam Machine is here: starts at $1,049 for 512GB or $1,349 for the 2TB version

Highly anticipated: After months of delays and growing anxiety about memory prices, Valve has officially confirmed pricing, configurations, and a June 30 launch date for its Steam Machine. The living-room gaming box starts at $1,049 for a 512GB model and climbs to $1,349 for the 2TB version – a significant premium over the sub-$750 figure that had been anticipated when Valve announced the hardware in November 2025. Getting one at launch, however, is far from guaranteed.
