You've seen the brand new Steam Machine from Valve right? But what about a Steam Machine Companion Cube? Yes that's also now going to be a thing. And…I think I want it? Possibly.

Coming from dbrand, who you might know from various skins and a few accessories for other devices (including the Steam Deck). We can expect it sometime next year when the new Gabecube Steam Machine releases, but there's no real details on it on their website at all.

It's "Limited Edition", so you may have to act fast on it. According to The Verge it's not a normal skin, but a case that attaches to it. With the design still being finalised. Other skins will also be coming, which is not surprising, I'm sure other companies will also be looking to make some accessories too.

Follow on the dbrand website.

I'll only buy it if I can make it say "I love you" in a squeaky robot voice when I turn it on.

...I like feeling appreciated, you know?

I wish it was actually called the 'gabecube' lol, gamecube was the first thing I thought of when I saw the reveal

Edit: I use the "target acquired" portal 2 gun turrent movie intro for few years now, for when I'm on big picture mode :)

any kind of name would be better than Steam Machine LOL ... aka an iron.

I would love to have a Gamecube themed one of these though! And also a skin wrap for the steam controller that changes the controller colors to gc colors!

Someone in Valve likes to name products in a fashion of steam/gas/water/hydraulic engineering. Even the company name is VALVe.
Other names:
Pressure Vessel for Valve's container system for files access isolation.
Steampowered - the website name.
Pipeline - a project for training inexperienced developers.
