The back panel is also removable for accessing the ports back there, too.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Here&#8217;s a bunch of images for you to ogle:<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The Companion Cube is available in two tiers. There\u2019s a $129.99 \u201cCompanion Cube\u201d version that comes in a special edition box that includes a fold-out &#8220;test chamber,&#8221; a &#8220;cake-themed suede cloth,&#8221; a red button base stand, and an orange and blue Portal-themed Steam Controller skin. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">As you may already know, the Companion Cube is from the Valve&#8217;s critically acclaimed person puzzle platforming game Portal.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">For $99.95, you can buy the \u201cPoverty Cube\u201d version. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">It\u2019s the Companion Cube in a brown cardboard box. That\u2019s it.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The Companion Cube edition ships &#8220;Late July,&#8221; while the Poverty Cube version &#8220;ships eventually.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">While the Steam Machine was initially supposed to come out at the beginning of 2026, the AI-fueled RAM crisis caused Valve to hit the brakes back in February.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Now, whenever Valve&#8217;s Steam Machine does eventually comes out, so you can actually use that Portal-themed case, it&#8217;s likely that it&#8217;s going to have a higher price than we initially thought it would. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">After all, it wasn&#8217;t long ago that the Steam Deck had a steep price increase of its own, and that handheld is significantly weaker than Valve&#8217;s promised mini gaming PC.<\/p>\n<p><span data-cy=\"poll-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<section class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\"><\/section>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Wes is a freelance writer (Freelance Wes, they call him) who has covered technology, gaming, and entertainment steadily since 2020 at places like Gizmodo, Tom&#8217;s Hardware, Hardcore Gamer, and most recently, The Verge. <\/em><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>This story contains contributions from Robert Anderson and Jackie Thomas.<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"media_block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/dbrand-is-now-taking-orders-for-its-steam-machine-companion-cube-case-ships-in-late-july.webp\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/dbrand-is-now-taking-orders-for-its-steam-machine-companion-cube-case-ships-in-late-july.webp\" class=\"media_thumbnail\"><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"media_block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/dbrand-is-now-taking-orders-for-its-steam-machine-companion-cube-case-ships-in-late-july.webp\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/dbrand-is-now-taking-orders-for-its-steam-machine-companion-cube-case-ships-in-late-july.webp\" class=\"media_thumbnail\"><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10848,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"Default","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[50],"class_list":["post-10847","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-49","tag-50"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10847","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10847"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10847\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10849,"href":"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10847\/revisions\/10849"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10848"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10847"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10847"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10847"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
