Plenty of great gaming deals are live ahead of Black Friday 2025. Here are our favorite discounts on consoles, games, accessories, and everything in between.
Valve has unveiled its powerful new Steam Machine console, set to rival PlayStation and Xbox with 4K gaming and PC features.
Now the company is running a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for that controller. The abxylute M4 controller is expected to ship in December to backers who pay $39 or more. It’s expected to sell for $49 after the campaign ends.
Steam Machines are back for the first time since Valve teamed up with manufacturers like Alienware and Lenovo back in the 2010s. But while those original console-PC hybrids failed because of a lack of game compatibility with the nascent SteamOS, 2022’s Steam Deck has paved the way for the Steam Machine’s return.
