- Xbox creator says he is vastly more excited for Steam Machine than Project Helix.
- Blackley says Valve focuses on much cooler games and has player-friendly policies.
- The Steam Machine feels like a major new release, like what Switch 3 will be like.
The next console generation is going to be very different from what we are used to. PlayStation is expected to drop a home and portable console, while Xbox is set to release a next-gen hybrid console, and Valve the Steam Machine.
However, the Xbox creator has slammed the idea of Project Helix and says he prefers the Steam Machine over it. He says that because Valve is focused more on cool games than Xbox, the former’s hardware seems much more exciting.
Why it matters: Steam is undeniably the better platform in terms of games, with its great sales, customer-friendly policies, and a huge lineup of titles, but it seems a little too early to write off Project Helix.
In an interview with The Expansion Pass, Seamus Blackley talked about the future of gaming. The Xbox creator stated that he is vastly more excited for the Steam Machine, and believes everyone should be too.
I am vastly more excited about Steam than about [Project Helix] as a gamer from a content standpoint as, I think, everybody would be or, you know, what’s Switch 3 going to be?
– Seamus Blackley
He stated that it’s something fresh and exciting, like being excited about what the Nintendo Switch 3 would be. Valve focuses on cool games, and as a gamer, that excites him much more than what Xbox has been doing.
However, things might get really interesting as Project Helix is expected to feature multiple storefronts as well, so if it has Steam too, that could change things. Both machines are expected to be priced over $1000, so the competition will be intriguing.
