Caption: Gaming billionaire Gabe Newell builds groundbreaking 364-foot ‘gigayacht’. Gaming billionaire Gabe Newell’s spectacular ‘gigayacht’ Leviathan is one of the most ambitious vessels ever created. Now, Dutch yacht builder Oceanco has released the first images of its superyacht Leviathan since the vessel was delivered in November 2025. According to Oceanco, the yacht was designed to encourage a more communal onboard experience by reducing the traditional separation between guest and crew spaces. Communal areas include a gaming lounge, basketball court and sun deck intended for shared use while the space that would traditionally serve as the main saloon has instead been transformed into a large shared dining area. Newell, the co-founder of Valve, said the design aimed to improve the experience of both guests and crew. “The goal was to consider where the most valuable experiences occur for the community of people onboard,” he said. “By increasing crew productivity, we can enable them to focus more on engaging with guests and creating meaningful experiences for everyone.” Leviathan’s onboard dive centre, part of the wider activities of Inkfish, which supports marine research and exploration projects across Newell’s fleet.
