Valve makes games, runs the Steam platform and develops gaming hardware. Its devices bring a PC game library into different physical formats, including handheld play and a compact computer connected to an external screen. SteamOS provides the gaming-focused software environment on Steam Deck and Steam Machine.
Steam Deck OLED combines a screen, battery and controls in a handheld device. Steam Machine is a compact desktop designed to connect to a TV or monitor and separate controls. Both have storage choices, but their form factors create different uses. Game compatibility should be checked for the software you intend to play on SteamOS.

Use this catalog to compare Valve devices and narrow down your choices. Before you buy, check the retailer's listing for the exact specifications and current availability.
Check the exact model
Compare the part number and full specifications so you know which Valve device you are getting. Different versions can share a model name.
Check what's included
A fixed configuration lists the hardware included in that version. For configurable systems, check the base build and any upgrades you select before ordering.
When a detail is missing
If a specification says "Unpublished," we do not have a confirmed value for it. Check the manufacturer or retailer listing if that detail matters to your choice.
