The Steam Machine Mount Starts With You

WHY WE'RE ASKING BEFORE WE BUILD.

Every time a new device launches, we hear the same thing: "When will the HIDEit mount be ready?" We love that question. It means you trust us. The honest answer is always the same — it won't be ready on day one. Here's why that's intentional.

THIS ONE HAS A SPECIFIC DESIGN CHALLENGE

Every time a new device launches, we hear the same thing: "When will the HIDEit mount be ready?" We love that question. It means you trust us. The honest answer is always the same — it won't be ready on day one. Here's why that's intentional.

WE DON'T SHIP UNTIL IT FITS. THAT TAKES LONGER THAN PEOPLE EXPECT.

Most of our products go through three or four prototype rounds minimum before we're satisfied. Sometimes more — we're currently on at least round three for a new Switch 2 mount version. The PS5 went through 20 iterations. That's not a setback. That's the standard.

We won't have early access to the Steam Machine. When it ships, we'll get one, test it, and iterate until it's right. We've spent 15 years building trust with the gaming community. We're not trading that for a launch-day badge.

If you want to see how we've handled this before, read THE INSIDE STORY: PS5 & DualSense Mounts, THE INSIDE STORY: HIDEit Mac Mini Mount Collection, or THE INSIDE STORY: HIDEit Glove Mount.

Already in the Steam ecosystem? The HIDEit Key Mount mounts your Steam Deck cleanly to the wall or behind your TV. It's not the Steam Machine solution — but it's the one we have right now, and it works. Shop the HIDEit Key Mount

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We don't have a release date yet — and we won't announce one until we've had the device in hand and tested the mount thoroughly. That's how we've handled every major launch, including the PS5 and Xbox Series X. Sign up above and you'll be the first to know when it's ready.

  • That depends on your setup — which is why we're running the poll above. The most common options are TV stand or cabinet, wall mounted behind or beside your TV, under-desk, or paired with a monitor as a dedicated display. Vote and tell us which fits your space.

  • That's exactly what we're designing for. Wall mount and under-desk configurations are our priority. We're also working through the orientation challenge — the Steam Machine's front faceplate and LED mean most customers won't want it on its side the way many Series X owners mount theirs.

  • We design most of our gaming mounts to work with our VESA Adapter Bracket for exactly this reason. We expect the Steam Machine mount will follow the same pattern — but we won't confirm compatibility until we've tested it.
