Valve may be working on a direct competitor to the Nvidia Shield (www.xda-developers.com)

Valve may be developing a "Steam Box" powered by SteamOS

The new kernel designed for "AMD Lilac" hints at possible new hardware

The device seems more of a competitor for Nvidia Shield than an upcoming Steam Deck 2.

It'll primarily be a gaming device but if they did ever push to be a HTPC type box, Roku is more vulnerable than Google and Apple I think. I'd love to see HTPCs get another shot at the living room and get app support from the popular streaming services

I definitely think that's the last big item steamos is missing, a bar at the top of streaming services.

Edit, that sounded sarcastic but it wasn't, I honestly want that, it would allow me to convert the rest of the family TV's to steam

It's funny cause Valve was selling movies on Steam for a while.
