Valve has officially confirmed for the first time that the Steam Machine and Steam Frame VR headset will be available in the summer of 2026. The information appeared in an update to the Steam Verified program for developers. The company said that it is expanding its game compatibility verification system to new devices that will be released this summer.
As new devices launch on Steam, the Steam Machine Verified and Steam Frame Verified badges will be introduced. As with Steam Deck, Valve will test games for compatibility and performance before granting them the status.
The company is also retesting some games that previously failed to receive the Steam Deck Verified badge. If they run properly on a more powerful Steam Machine, such projects may receive new certification.
Valve has not yet announced the exact date of the start of sales, cost, or full technical specifications of the devices.
The Steam Machine will be Valve’s first home gaming system since the original Steam Machines line, which was released in 2015. The Steam Frame will be the company’s new VR headset and the successor to the Valve Index.
