Alongside launching the ‘Steam Frame Verified’ label, Valve confirmed that the headset is shipping “this summer”.<\/p>\n

When revealing<\/a> Steam Frame back in November, Valve said it would ship in “early 2026”. For pricing, it told UploadVR it was “aiming” to sell Steam Frame for less than the $1000 Index full-kit.<\/p>\n

But given the global memory shortage resulting from the rapid growth of AI, come February the company announced <\/a>that it would need to “revisit” its “exact shipping schedule and pricing”.<\/p>\n

This month, in a blog post<\/a> launching the Steam Frame Verified program, Valve confirmed that both Steam Frame and the Steam Machine consolized PC will launch “this summer”, meaning sometime in the next three months.<\/p>\n

“Like Steam Deck Verified, the Steam Frame Standalone Verified program focuses on the experience customers will have with the device out-of-the-box in standalone mode. The criteria are similar as well: the default graphics configuration needs to perform well, text and UI elements need to be clear and legible on the built-in display, and the default controller configuration needs to work well with the Steam Frame Controllers. The same test criteria apply to both VR titles and non-VR titles.”<\/p>\n

Developers can read about the Steam Frame Verified requirements on the Steamworks website<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alongside launching the ‘Steam Frame Verified’ label, Valve confirmed that the headset is shipping “this summer”.
