I\u2019m <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/authors\/jay-peters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jay Peters<\/a>, a senior reporter here at The Verge. I\u2019m perhaps the site\u2019s second-biggest Steam Deck fan, surpassed only by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/authors\/sean-hollister\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sean Hollister<\/a>, our unofficial handheld gaming PC reviewer. So you can imagine how excited we were to visit Valve\u2019s headquarters to try the company\u2019s three new hardware products: the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/e\/816118\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Steam Frame<\/a>, a streaming-focused VR headset; the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/tech\/818111\/valve-steam-machine-hands-on-preview-specs-announcement\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Steam Machine<\/a>, a Valve-designed gaming PC for the living room; and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/e\/815061\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Steam Controller<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Those links take you to our big stories about all three pieces of gear, and I encourage you to read the articles and bask in our photos from Ripple <a href=\"https:\/\/everythingtime.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">at Everything Time Studio<\/a>. But if you\u2019re a Verge subscriber and have any burning questions we didn\u2019t answer about the hardware or Valve\u2019s strategy in our stories, we\u2019re hosting a subscriber-only Ask Me Anything session today in the comments of this post.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Feel free to start dropping in your comments and questions right now, no need to wait. Sean and I will both start replying at about 3PM ET. We\u2019re looking forward to it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hi! I\u2019m Jay Peters, a senior reporter here at The Verge.
