  • Shuhei Yoshida on the future of gaming | The Vergecast

    September 28, 2026 · 📺 The Verge

    It's a confusing time right now for gaming. Video games are becoming an increasingly expensive hobby. Games are expensive to make, too, and companies want to sell the most lucrative ones they can: Sony and Microsoft are cutting jobs to refocus on blockbusters. At the same time, we’ve got more ways to play than ever: handhelds, phones, even cloud gaming is getting better. So where are we headed? Today on The Vergecast, Sean Hollister asks that question of Shuhei Yoshida, who spent 31 years at Sony playing games and figuring out what gamers will pay for. 0:00 Intro 01:05 90 Seconds on The Verge…

  • Who is the $1,059 Steam VR headset for? | The Vergecast

    September 14, 2026 · 📺 The Verge

    Sean Hollister got his hands and face on Valve's new VR headset, the Steam Frame. It's expensive, starting at more than $1,000. It's buggy — he and CNET's Scott Stein both felt like beta testers as they reviewed it. But it's also full of interesting ideas, including the promise that Steam games could one day come to your mobile phone. This week on The Vergecast, Sean and Scott discuss who exactly this device is for, in a world that mostly seems to have moved on from VR. 0:00 Intro 00:30 90 Seconds on The Verge 01:52 Introducing the Steam Frame 07:14 Controls and Interface 12:23 Audio and Perf…

  • Were we too nice to the Steam Machine? | The Vergecast

    July 15, 2026 · 📺 The Verge

    Valve's Steam Machine might be exactly the living room console you've been waiting for. Or it might be too expensive, totally pointless, a waste of everyone's money and shelf space. The Verge's Sean Hollister joins the show to talk through all the feedback we've been getting about our coverage and our review. Is Valve's history a pro or a con? Is the price reasonable or ridiculous? Who is this device actually for? We have much to discuss. Version History now has its own channel!

  • Is the Steam Machine worth the wait? | The Vergecast

    June 22, 2026 · 📺 The Verge

    Valve has been trying to crack the living room for more than a decade, and the new Steam Machine is its best attempt yet. It's a little bit PC, a little bit console, and a lot pricy — starting at $1,049, it had a lot to live up to. The Verge’s Sean Hollister has been testing the device, and shares his findings on whether the Steam Machine can hang with PlayStation and Xbox. He also explains why, despite a never-ending list of challenges, Valve is still trying to make this device work. We have new merch!
