Valve shows off first Steam Machine prototype

Valve shows off first Steam Machine prototype

We thought it would be a good while 'till we'd get to see the long awaited Steam Machine since Valve is so good at keeping projects under wraps. Apparently we were wrong.

The 65 million users strong, Bellevue based company gave The Seattle Times a sneak peek at the first crazy powerful, high-end Steam Machine prototype, and boy does it look familiar.

It seems like the Machine is taking a number from its console competition, the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One, with its VCR-esque body and black exterior.

But then again, this is indeed the first prototype so we're bound to see others before the 2014 launch, especially since the box is fully upgradable, allowing users to swap out any part they like, or build one from the ground up using the same components - just like a PC.

The countdown really starts now

We know 300 lucky beta testers will get their mitts on the mega console later this year, and we know the box will see a release in 2014 though specifics have been sparse.

But the Times reiterated our own conjecture that the Steam Machines have a high probability of seeing hands on time during CES 2014 meaning we'll finally get to see one up close and personal.

It's also likely we'll see a variety of prototypes with the differing specs at the Vegas event alongside the Steam Controller and SteamOS right before the developer only Steam conference.
