Rumors Pointing To A New Steam Console From Valve with new link and new controller

"Valve appears to be developing a new standalone Steam console for players. According to recent rumors and findings from various Valve data miners, the Washington-based company is working on a new traditional system known has “Fremont” along with the Steam Controller 2 and Deckard VR headset.

In a series of posts on social media, Valve insider Brad Lynch posted what he considers to be signs of the new SteamOS hardware.

First, he discussed why it couldn’t be a dock for current devices like the Steam Deck. Lynch said that the evidence suggests a full-size HDMI port being hardwired to the card directly as opposed to being connected via USB-C.

“All references to Fremont ensure checks for a full-size HDMI Type-A port you’d see on TV-focused consoles and other desktop computers that don’t have a dedicated GPU with its own HDMI ports,” Lynch said.

In other data areas, it shows AMD Lilac board being used for development while the final board is completed with firmware specifically developed for this new device being worked on as well. It’s also shown that Quanta Computer, the manufacturer of the Steam Deck, is providing feedback on the new system.

Valve has not commented on any of the rumors, and, as such, everything here should be taken with a grain of salt until it’s confirmed. It’s worth noting, however, that the company is approaching the 10-year anniversary of when it released its first Steam Controller and Steam Machines.
