科技前緣🎮 Valve 重返客廳戰場：Steam Machine 2.0 瞄準 4K/60fps，打造全新遊戲生態系🎙️ 摘要 (Summary)
遊戲巨頭 Valve 繼 Steam Deck 成功之後，無預警發布了三款全新 Steam Hardware 設備：新一代 Steam Machine、Steam Controller 和 Steam Frame VR 頭戴裝置。新 Steam Machine 定位為緊湊型客廳遊戲 PC，其效能聲稱是 Steam Deck 的六倍，並以統一規格和成熟的 SteamOS 捲土重來，旨在實現 4K/60fps 遊戲體驗。本集將詳細解析這三款硬體的規格、設計理念，以及 Valve 如何透過 Proton 技術和整合生態系，再次挑戰 PC 與家用主機市場的格局。
📌 Keypoint (重點整理)
Steam Machine (第二代) 效能飛躍： 新一代主機採用半客製化 AMD Zen 4 CPU 和 RDNA 3 GPU，擁有 8GB GDDR6 VRAM，效能聲稱是 Steam Deck 的六倍，目標是實現穩定的 4K/60fps 遊戲體驗。但 8GB VRAM 容量可能成為未來 3A 遊戲運行時的限制因素。
全新 Steam Controller 精準升級： 升級版手把結合 Steam Deck 特點，採用 TMR 磁性搖桿和 Grip Sense 陀螺儀控制，大幅提升精準度。並透過專屬 Puck 提供低延遲無線連接。
Steam Frame 輕量化 VR 突破： Steam Frame (VR/非 VR) 是一款串流優先的輕量化無線 VR 頭戴裝置，搭載 Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 處理器，支援 MicroSD 卡擴充。它利用 **foveated streaming（凝視點串流）**技術和專用 6GHz 無線轉接器，旨在提供理想的低延遲 PC VR 體驗。
整合生態系與上市規劃： Valve 硬體生態系預計於 2026 年初上市。三款裝置皆基於成熟的 SteamOS 運行，並透過 Proton 相容層與 FSR 技術，實現跨裝置的遊戲無縫體驗，進一步強化 Steam 生態的競爭力。

A Podcast [ , ] For All Intents and PurposesFor Great JusticeA BAD IDEA AGAIN: More than a decade after Konami cancelled its controversial tactical military first-person shooter, Six Days in Fallujah, the game seems to have been revived by Highwire Games who have taken to the media asserting that they want to tell––with their tactical military FPS––a nuanced, thoughtful, and impactful story of the incident. This news caused D. Bethel and Andrew to wonder if certain stories are simply better suited for certain genres of games? RELEVANT LINKS: Hall, Charlie.
