Just this week, Valve launched the Steam Controller<\/a> on its own, despite it initially being planned for launch at the same time as the Steam Machine<\/a> and the Steam Frame<\/a>. But, it looks like Valve has been getting a lot of shipments of ‘game consoles’. Could this mean an imminent Steam Machine launch?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

This all comes via Twitter user Brad Lynch, or @SadlyitsBradley<\/a>, who noticed the uptick in Valve’s imports on NBD Data, a shipping analysis platform. It appears that over the last couple of weeks, Valve has received multiple shipments of mysterious ‘game consoles’ from China, which suggests the company is building up for a release sometime in the near future. <\/p>\n

Valve is receiving a ton of \u201cGame Consoles\u201d these past couple weeks in their USA distribution warehouse..<\/p>\n

It is entirely possible that these shipments are just a giant Steam Deck <\/a>restock. After all, Valve’s handheld has been out of stock for months at this point and a restock is probably coming at some point. However, even though some of the shipments that Lynch spotted are a couple weeks old at this point, the Steam Deck is still sold out on Steam. And given that we talked to Valve last week and it doesn’t seem like it’s planning on launching a new handheld any time soon, the Steam Machine would be the best explanation. <\/p>\n
