如何预订 Steam Machine
Valve’s unique preorder process requires you to sign up in advance to enter a lottery for reserving each configuration. Valve 独特的预购流程要求用户提前注册，通过抽签方式来获取各配置机型的预订资格。
The Steam Machine is here, but getting one is a little complicated. Valve is taking preorders using a reservation system, which is intended to make the process more fair and harder for bots to exploit. However, it’s a bit different than the $5 reservations Valve used for the Steam Deck. Steam Machine 现已发布，但购买过程略显复杂。Valve 采用了一套预订系统来处理预购，旨在使流程更加公平，并防止机器人恶意抢购。不过，这与 Valve 此前为 Steam Deck 采用的 5 美元预订金模式有所不同。
Starting today, you can sign up for a chance to reserve the Steam Machine, choosing from four different options: 从今天起，您可以注册以获取预订 Steam Machine 的机会，共有四种配置可供选择：
- Steam Machine 512GB: $1,049 / $1,509 CAD / €1,039 / £879 / $1,609 AUD / 4,389 zlotys
- Steam Machine 512GB with Steam Controller: $1,128 / $1,628 CAD / €1,108 / £938 / $1,728 AUD / 4,698 zlotys
- Steam Machine 2TB: $1,349 / $1,919 CAD / €1,359 / £1,149 / $2,109 AUD / 5,739 zlotys
- Steam Machine 2TB with Steam Controller: $1,428 / $2,038 CAD / €1,428 / £1,208 / $2,228 AUD / 6,048 zlotys
All four options will have their own sign-up list, and you can sign up for multiple if you want. There are also separate sign-up lists for each shipping region, and Valve says it will automatically place you in the list for your region. There are currently four shipping regions: North America, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and Australia. 这四种选项均有各自的注册列表，您可以根据需要注册多个列表。此外，每个发货地区也有独立的注册列表，Valve 表示系统会自动将您分配到所在地区的列表中。目前共有四个发货地区：北美、英国、欧盟和澳大利亚。
The sign-up window ends on June 25th at 10AM PT / 1PM ET. At that point, Valve will use a “one-time randomization” to determine the reservation order for everyone who signed up. 注册窗口将于太平洋时间 6 月 25 日上午 10 点（东部时间下午 1 点）关闭。届时，Valve 将通过“一次性随机化”程序来确定所有注册者的预订顺序。
Regardless of how many lists you signed up for, you can ultimately end up on only one. If you get lucky and get randomly assigned a reservation spot for more than one model, Valve says you’ll automatically be given the reservation for the highest-end model you signed up for, and removed from any other sign-up lists you were on. Likewise, if you didn’t get a reservation spot at all, Valve says “you’ll be placed on the waitlist for the model that you were closest to the front of.” 无论您注册了多少个列表，最终只能获得一个预订名额。如果您运气好，被随机分配到多个型号的预订资格，Valve 表示系统会自动为您保留其中最高端的型号，并从其他列表中移除。同样，如果您未能获得任何预订名额，Valve 表示“您将被列入最接近获得资格的那个型号的候补名单中”。
On June 25th, Valve will send out emails to everyone who signed up letting them know whether they’ve been added to the reservation queue, meaning there’s a unit reserved for them, or the waitlist. If you sign up after June 25th, you’ll automatically be added to the back of the waitlist. Once these emails go out, you can’t change which Steam Machine configuration you signed up for. 6 月 25 日，Valve 将向所有注册者发送电子邮件，告知他们是被加入预订队列（意味着已为您预留了一台设备），还是被加入候补名单。如果您在 6 月 25 日之后注册，将自动排在候补名单的末尾。邮件发出后，您将无法更改所选的 Steam Machine 配置。
Valve also has some eligibility criteria you’ll need to meet to sign up: Valve 还规定了注册所需的资格条件：
- You must have a Steam account in good standing. (您必须拥有信誉良好的 Steam 账户)
- You must have made a purchase on Steam prior to April 27th, 2026. (您必须在 2026 年 4 月 27 日之前在 Steam 上有过消费记录)
- Limit one signup per household. We will use payment method, shipping address, and other information to eliminate multiple entries. (每户限注册一次。我们将使用支付方式、收货地址及其他信息来剔除重复注册)
Landing in the waitlist means you’ll have to wait until more units of the configuration you signed up for are available. If you secure a reservation, Valve will give you 72 hours to complete your Steam Machine purchase. The first reservation emails are going out on June 29th. 进入候补名单意味着您需要等待所选配置的设备有更多库存。如果您成功获得预订资格，Valve 将为您提供 72 小时的时间来完成 Steam Machine 的购买。首批预订确认邮件将于 6 月 29 日发出。
