It’s not every day that a billionaire gets a new superyacht and the chance to unveil a new video game console. But Valve co-founder Gabe Newell experienced just that last week. On November 12, Newell received his new luxury boat–a diesel-electric yacht that’s over 360 feet long–from Oceanco. It’s named Leviathan and was delivered the same day that the Steam Machine was revealed.
The Leviathan has a hospital, science lab, dive center, hot tub, basketball court, and 15 “gaming stations.” That’s not all for video games, either, as there are two racing simulators to take for a spin on the superyacht. It’s unknown if a Steam Machine is on board–or even some form of Half-Life 3.
“Yachts have great potential to serve as platforms for scientific research,” said Newell. “It’s about recognizing that you’re part of a broader community and ensuring the yacht’s presence adds value to the communities around it.”
For those unaware, Newell spends most of his time living on a yacht. Earlier this year, Newell discussed his daily routine, which included up to two daily sessions of scuba diving. Forbes estimates that he’s worth up to $11 billion, and the Leviathan isn’t his only yacht. In August, Newell actually bought Oceanco.
When asked about all of his success, Newell has pointed to luck and “being surrounded by really great people.” Last week, Valve announced more than just the Steam Machine. The company also pulled back the curtain on the new Steam Controller and Steam Frame, a VR headset. It’s unknown how much the Steam Machine will cost when it arrives early next year.
