Half-Life 3 Rumors Tie It to Steam Machine Launch

[cryptobro]

Long-awaited Half-Life 3 may finally be real — but fans might have to wait for Valve’s Steam Machine to see it. Insider Mike Straw claims his sources confirm the game as a launch title for the upcoming PC/console hybrid, set to release in Q1 2026. The delay in revealing the game at The Game Awards 2025 could be tied to the Steam Machine’s price and pre-order timeline, which may range from $699–$800. If true, Half-Life 3 could become a major selling point for Valve’s new hardware, potentially even as a temporary exclusive.

I am interested in a Steam Machine. But the leaked specs looks low. Can it handle a game like Half-Life 3 ?
