But that&#8217;s probably not the price Valve had in mind for its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/best-mini-gaming-pc\">mini gaming PC.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>When I got a chance to sit down with Valve Engineers Pierre-Loup Griffais and Yazan Aldehayyat last week to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/steam-machine-interview\">talk about the Steam Machine<\/a>, I asked them what the Steam Machine would have cost before the current memory market. And while neither of them would give me a hard number, I was told that it was &#8220;probably similar&#8221; to the price increase that the Steam Machine experienced last month. <\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"slideshow\" data-slug=\"steam-machine-hands-on-photos\" data-value=\"steam-machine-hands-on-photos\" data-type=\"slug\" data-caption=\"\"><\/section>\n<p>Some quick napkin math pins that Steam Deck price increase at around 35-36% above the handheld&#8217;s original $549 asking price, resulting in the new price of $789. If you do the same math for a hypothetical $749 pre-RAMflation Steam Machine, that would make the final $1049 price about 33% more expensive. <\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"poll\" data-id=\"feed53cc-b4e9-43c8-af4c-818fbe64f3f6\"><\/section>\n<p>I was told that Valve hadn&#8217;t landed on a final price before it had to start tweaking the price to reflect the new reality that we&#8217;re living through, but a $749 price tag would put it in spitting distance with my original guess that the Steam Machine would cost about $800. <\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve been hearing conflicting things about how long the current AI-fueled RAM crisis will be going on, but Valve isn&#8217;t the only gaming company that&#8217;s raising prices. Both the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/sony-announces-price-rises-for-ps5-ps5-pro-and-playstation-portal-blames-continued-pressures-in-the-global-economic-landscape\">had price increases <\/a>a couple months ago, and according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/new-xbox-memo-holiday-2027-project-helix-rumors\">a memo by Xbox CEO Asha Sharma<\/a>, the hardware going into Xbox consoles will eventually cost five times more than it originally did, so those will probably see yet another price rise at some point. <\/p>\n<p>But, who knows? Maybe the RAM bubble will burst and Valve will be able to bring down the price closer to its initial target. But I wouldn&#8217;t hold my breath. <\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"ignvideo\" data-slug=\"steam-machine-review\" data-loop=\"\"><\/section>\n<section data-transform=\"divider\"><\/section>\n<p><em>Jackie Thomas is the Hardware and Buying Guides Editor at IGN and the PC components queen.
