YES

The PS5 Pro is currently priced at $749.99 USD. This market resolves YES if the Steam Machine 512GB base model is priced $750 USD or above at official launch.

Resolution Criteria: Official Valve pricing for the 512GB Steam Machine model compared to PS5 Pro MSRP of $749.99. Check https://store.steampowered.com/hardware and https://www.playstation.com/en-us/ps5/. In the event that the PS5 Pro receives a price cut before the Steam Machine releases, the Steam Machine MSRP will be compared to the PS5 Pro MSRP on November 13th, 2025 ($749.99 USD).

Resolves when Valve officially announces the Steam Machine MSRP.

CLARIFICATION 05/04/2026: The rules stated that the PS5 Pro MSRP of $749.99 will be used in the event of a price cut; the same $749.99 figure overrides the current $899.99 MSRP.

Base model retails at $1049 USD. Market resolves to YES.

Thanks for the free mana, whoever bet this up so high! PS5 Pro has 4x the storage, twice as much (expensive) video RAM (albeit without nearly as much normal DDR5), a higher-spec (albeit older architecture) CPU with 33% more cores, and a faster GPU with way more compute units.

Comparing that base Steam Machine to base PS5 might be interesting... That's a much closer match.
