What is REPLAY?

REPLAY is our new dedicated hub designed to highlight the moments that make gaming special. It’s not about being a pro-tier influencer or having the highest K/D ratio in the lobby.

Valve has an ability to sell its handhelds at cost because of a structural advantage that no other handheld manufacturer does. Unlike ASUS or Lenovo, Valve isn't primarily in the hardware business. As a storefront operator collecting a commission on every purchase made through Steam, Valve can afford to price har
