First, the tease. The tease comes from Drew Gottlieb, a developer over at Valve. As you may know, in addition to revealing a new Steam console, Valve also announced a new VR headset called Steam Frame. Commenting on this, using the social media platform X, Gottlieb noted he now has “one less secret” to worry about. The obvious implication of this is that Valve is cooking up multiple things at the moment. And with all this hardware to sell, what better way to sell it than some exclusive software that is in high demand, such as Left 4 Dead 3, Portal 3, Team Fortress 3, or Left 4 Dead 3.
Tease + Report
In addition to the new tease, there is also a new report from Mike Straw of Insider Gaming. According to Straw, “Valve isn’t done with the big announcements.” Adding to this, it is claimed there is going to be more soon. Straw doesn’t elaborate, but obviously “big” could only be referring to a few different things.
What’s interesting is the timing. Next month, The Game Awards 2025 will go down. Creator and host Geoff Keighley has worked with Valve in the past. For example, he made a documentary involving Half-Life: Alyx. That said, if one of these surprises is Half-Life 3, it is hard to imagine that such a massive reveal was given to Keighley. What’s more likely is that Valve would reveal that on its own terms.
