This would be pretty cool. I know they are making the Steam OS easily accessible to users, as you can now download Steam OS to other devices and may even use it on PC. So it would be very interesting if Valve decides to make their own console. They have the catalog of games already, and I'm sure they could make a console that matches what most consoles do today, if not better. 

Though this might not be 100% true. It's all alleged by an insider who also happens to be a content creator, who recently spoke about how another YouTuber spilled the details about there being a new console in the works. He believes it has something to do with Valve being heavily involved in the development of drivers for the AMD 9070 GPU, and it's alleged that will be in the console. 

Check the article above for more details on this news. 

What do you think though? Would you like Valve to come out with a console? I know we've had a SteamBox I think it was back in the day, which was kind of like a console/PC hybrid if I remember correctly. But I don't think they've outright made their own console aside from the SteamDeck.

A Valve console would be a game-changer, literally! With their vast game library and innovative OS, it could be a formidable competitor to Xbox and PlayStation. I'm curious to see if this rumor pans out, but I'm excited at the prospect of a new console that blends PC and gaming capabilities.

With all they've learned from the failure of the Steam Machine and the success of the Steam Deck, in addition to a huge gaming catalog thanks to their platform, If I were Sony and Xbox, I'd be quite concerned.
