Hi! I\u2019m Jay Peters<\/a>, a senior reporter here at The Verge. I\u2019m perhaps the site\u2019s second-biggest Steam Deck fan, surpassed only by 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 Steam Frame<\/a>, a streaming-focused VR headset; the Steam Machine<\/a>, a Valve-designed gaming PC for the living room; and the Steam Controller<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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 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

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.
