# Steam Hardware Watch Status
Last updated: `2026-07-24`
Last updated: `2026-07-27`
## Best Current Answer
- `Price`: Steam Controller remains confirmed by official Valve store APIs at `$99.00` in the US. Steam Machine is confirmed public in the Valve store API, starting at `$1,049.00` in the US and `£879.00` in the UK. Steam Frame still has no confirmed public price.
- `Release date`: Steam Controller remains confirmed with release date `May 4, 2026` and package `1558609`. Steam Machine is confirmed with release date `Jun 30, 2026` in the US API / `30 Jun, 2026` in the UK API. Steam Frame still exposes only `Coming soon`.
- `Same-time launch`: same-day availability for the full trio is ruled out. Steam Controller is public and purchasable, Steam Machine is public with packages/package group/prices/date, and Steam Frame still has no public package, package group, price, or exact availability.
- `2026-07-27 Frame check`: no public Steam Frame launch-readiness movement in the primary gates, but there is meaningful client-side Frame readiness movement. Valve still shows Frame app `4165890` as `Coming soon` with no packages, package group, price, or date; Frame packages `1629484` and `1629486` still return `packagedetails success:false`; SteamKit/PICS changenumbers are unchanged at `37298233` / `37298229`; SteamDB still shows both Frame packages as `private_exists_only` with `16 July 2026` last-record updates; and Komodo Frame is unchanged at `2026-07-03T15:56:30`. SteamTracking advanced to `2cd20e8c0fd1c95c00634f8d49b8095343bd288d` (`2026-07-24T23:42:25Z`) and a normalized Frame-focused comparison versus `2026-07-24` added Steam Frame compatibility/filter strings, `SteamFrameVerified` description/header strings, and `Settings_Controller_Frame_Pairing_*` localization. ARM64 beta/publicbeta manifests moved to `1784785014` / `1784934043`, but `bins_hardware_linuxarm64` did not change. Customs still has no newer relevant rows beyond the `2026-07-22` VR/dongle rows.
- `2026-07-24 Frame check`: no public Steam Frame launch-readiness movement, but logistics evidence strengthened. Valve still shows Frame app `4165890` as `Coming soon` with no packages, package group, price, or date; Frame packages `1629484` and `1629486` still return `packagedetails success:false`; SteamKit/PICS changenumbers are unchanged at `37298233` / `37298229`; SteamDB still shows both Frame packages as `private_exists_only` with `16 July 2026` last-record updates; and Komodo Frame is unchanged at `2026-07-03T15:56:30`. Customs now includes two `2026-07-22` Valve-bound `VIRTUAL REALITY DEVICES` rows from Tech-Front that explicitly mention `WIFI DONGLE/ADAPTER` (`SNHBSHACHI267040`, `7441 Kgs`; `SNHBSHALAX267039`, `6854 Kgs`). SteamTracking advanced to `8c5870a2e67a2cb36c2d406926ecbb727a34b667`; beta/publicbeta ARM64 manifests moved, but `bins_hardware_linuxarm64` did not change and normalized hardware-signal comparison versus `2026-07-21` showed `0` semantic additions/removals.
- `2026-07-21 Frame check`: no public Steam Frame launch-readiness movement. Valve still shows Frame app `4165890` as `Coming soon` with no packages, package group, price, or date; Frame packages `1629484` and `1629486` still return `packagedetails success:false`; SteamKit/PICS changenumbers are unchanged at `37298233` / `37298229`; SteamDB still shows both Frame packages as `private_exists_only` with `16 July 2026` last-record updates; and Komodo Frame is unchanged at `2026-07-03T15:56:30`. Secondary client-side movement did appear: SteamTracking advanced to `a260716ab21092371928054f81823ae0609db0e3`, added broad Steam Machine compatibility localization and localized Steam Frame wireless-adapter troubleshooting strings, and moved `steam_client_publicbeta_linuxarm64` to `1784588115`; `bins_hardware_linuxarm64` did not change. Customs still has no newer relevant rows beyond the `2026-07-15` `VIRTUAL REALITY DEVICES` rows.
- `2026-07-20 Frame check`: same-day refresh at `2026-07-20T16:16Z` found no new Steam Frame launch-readiness movement since the July 16/17 backend package change. Valve still shows Frame app `4165890` as `Coming soon` with no packages, package group, or price; Frame packages `1629484` and `1629486` still return `packagedetails success:false`; SteamKit/PICS changenumbers are unchanged at `37298233` / `37298229`; and SteamDB still shows both Frame packages as `private_exists_only` with `16 July 2026` last-record updates. Komodo Frame is unchanged at `2026-07-03T15:56:30`, while Komodo Machine remains at its same-day comparator timestamp `2026-07-20T14:27:32`. SteamTracking source is `7fed97457fb2ad2eee35401ea775e962acc56e59`; `steam_client_beta_linuxarm64` remains at `1784323984`, `steam_client_publicbeta_linuxarm64` remains at `1784145295`, `bins_hardware_linuxarm64` did not move, and normalized hardware-signal comparison versus `2026-07-17` showed `0` semantic additions/removals. Customs still has no newer relevant rows beyond the `2026-07-15` `VIRTUAL REALITY DEVICES` rows and `2026-07-14` controller row.

## Source Snapshot
### 2026-07-27 Frame-Focused Pass
- Frame focus report: `/Users/sean/Coding/steam-hardware-watch/runs/2026-07-27/reports/frame-focus.md`
- Run note: `/Users/sean/Coding/steam-hardware-watch/status/runs/2026-07-27.md`
- Valve API:
- Frame app `4165890`: public metadata only, `Coming soon`, `packages=`, `package_groups=0`, no price.
- Frame package `1629484`: private, `packagedetails success:false`.
- Frame package `1629486`: private, `packagedetails success:false`.
- SteamKit/PICS:
- Frame app `4165890`: changenumber `35675573`, unchanged.
- Frame package `1629484`: changenumber `37298233`, unchanged, still `private_metadata_token_required`.
- Frame package `1629486`: changenumber `37298229`, unchanged, still `private_metadata_token_required`.
- No watched SteamKit/PICS changenumber movement versus the previous report.
- SteamDB:
- Frame package `1629484`: `16 July 2026 - 03:50:58 UTC`, changenumber `37298233`, still `private_exists_only`.
- Frame package `1629486`: `16 July 2026 - 03:50:44 UTC`, changenumber `37298229`, still `private_exists_only`.
- SteamDB was not blocked for the watched reservation-package rows.
- Komodo:
- Frame product timestamp remains `2026-07-03T15:56:30`.
- Controller product timestamp moved to `2026-07-27T15:46:17`; Machine product timestamp moved to `2026-07-27T15:39:56`, but Frame did not move.
- No new Frame sections or section media appeared; still one old wishlist section and old `Frame_BG.png`.
- SteamTracking:
- The first run attempt found `/tmp/SteamTracking-shallow-20260720` had source files but an invalid `.git` directory. A fresh shallow checkout was cloned to `/tmp/SteamTracking-shallow-20260727`, then the watcher completed successfully.
- Source is now `2cd20e8c0fd1c95c00634f8d49b8095343bd288d` (`2026-07-24T23:42:25Z`), versus `8c5870a2e67a2cb36c2d406926ecbb727a34b667` (`2026-07-24T04:04:01Z`) in the previous baseline.
- Normalized Frame-focused comparison versus `2026-07-24` added Steam Frame compatibility/filter strings, `SteamFrameVerified` description/header strings, and `Settings_Controller_Frame_Pairing_*` localization. This is a meaningful client-readiness signal, not commerce/API readiness.
- `steam_client_beta_linuxarm64` moved from `1784677696` to `1784785014`.
- `steam_client_publicbeta_linuxarm64` moved from `1784778118` to `1784934043`.
- `bins_hardware_linuxarm64` did not change in beta or publicbeta.
- SteamVR / SteamOS:
- SteamVR depot metadata page was challenge-blocked.
- SteamOS mirror produced no material Frame launch signal.
- Customs:
- No newer relevant rows appeared beyond the `2026-07-22` VR/dongle rows already captured in the July 24 pass.
- Newest rows remain the two `2026-07-22` Valve-bound `VIRTUAL REALITY DEVICES` rows from Tech-Front that explicitly mention `WIFI DONGLE/ADAPTER`, plus the same-day `GAME CONSOLE` comparator row.
- Some customs source fetches failed, so customs status is partial. ImportGenius rows were still captured.

# Run Note: 2026-07-27
## Summary
- Ran `scripts/run_frame_watch.sh 2026-07-27 runs /tmp/SteamTracking-shallow-20260727` after the first attempt failed on an invalid `/tmp/SteamTracking-shallow-20260720` Git checkout.
- No public Steam Frame launch-readiness movement appeared in the primary gates: Valve app/package APIs, SteamKit/PICS, SteamDB package rows, and Komodo Frame all remain closed/unchanged.
- Secondary client-side movement did appear: SteamTracking is now `2cd20e8c0fd1c95c00634f8d49b8095343bd288d` (`2026-07-24T23:42:25Z`) and normalized Frame-focused comparison versus `2026-07-24` added Steam Frame compatibility/filter strings, `SteamFrameVerified` description/header strings, and `Settings_Controller_Frame_Pairing_*` localization.
- ARM64 beta/publicbeta manifests moved, but `bins_hardware_linuxarm64` did not. Customs has no newer relevant rows beyond the `2026-07-22` VR/dongle shipments already captured.
## Source Checks
### Komodo
- Frame product remains unchanged at `2026-07-03T15:56:30`.
- Controller product timestamp moved to `2026-07-27T15:46:17`; Machine product timestamp moved to `2026-07-27T15:39:56`. Treat both as comparator/background because the active target is Frame.
- Frame still has one section row and one media row; no new Frame sections/assets were exposed.
### SteamDB
- Frame package `1629484`: `16 July 2026 - 03:50:58 UTC`, changenumber `37298233`, `private_exists_only`.
- Frame package `1629486`: `16 July 2026 - 03:50:44 UTC`, changenumber `37298229`, `private_exists_only`.
- SteamDB was not blocked for watched reservation-package rows.
### SteamTracking / GameTracking
- The old shallow checkout had source files but an invalid `.git` directory, so a fresh checkout was cloned to `/tmp/SteamTracking-shallow-20260727`.
- Source is now `2cd20e8c0fd1c95c00634f8d49b8095343bd288d` (`2026-07-24T23:42:25Z`), compared with `8c5870a2e67a2cb36c2d406926ecbb727a34b667` (`2026-07-24T04:04:01Z`) in the previous baseline.
- Normalized Frame-focused diff added compatibility/filter strings including `SteamFrame_CompatibilitySection_*`, `SteamFrameVerified_DescriptionHeader_*`, and `FrameVerified_FilterDescription_*`.
- Normalized diff also added controller-pairing localization including `Settings_Controller_Frame_Pairing_Searching` and `Settings_Controller_Frame_Pairing_TurnOffController`.
- `steam_client_beta_linuxarm64` moved from `1784677696` to `1784785014`.
- `steam_client_publicbeta_linuxarm64` moved from `1784778118` to `1784934043`.
- `bins_hardware_linuxarm64` did not change in beta or publicbeta.
### SteamVR Depots
- SteamVR depot metadata page was challenge-blocked / partially unavailable.
- Local/news metadata did not expose a new Frame launch signal.
### SteamOS Package Mirror
- No material Frame launch signal.
- Existing relevant rows still include `fremont-hw-support 20260506.1-1` and `holo-realtek-firmware-toggles 1.1-1`.
### Valve Support / CDN
- Frame app `4165890`: public metadata only, still `Coming soon`, no packages, no package group, no price.
- Frame package `1629484`: private, `packagedetails success:false`.
- Frame package `1629486`: private, `packagedetails success:false`.
- Machine remains public as the launched comparator: packages `1629447`, `1629458`, `1629446`, `1629460`, package group present, US price starting at `$1,049.00`.
### Customs / Regulatory
- Customs status is partial, but ImportGenius rows were captured.
- No newer relevant rows than `2026-07-22`.
- Newest Frame-relevant logistics rows remain:
- `SNHBSHACHI267040`: `VIRTUAL REALITY DEVICES/FABRIC FOAM RUBBER/WIFI DONGLE/ADAPTER`, `42 PKG`, `7441 Kgs`.
- `SNHBSHALAX267039`: `VIRTUAL REALITY DEVICES & FABRIC FOAM RUBBER & WIFI DONGLE & ADAPTER`, `42 PKG`, `6854 Kgs`.
## Effect On Key Questions
- Price: unchanged. Steam Frame still has no confirmed public price.
- Release date: unchanged. Steam Frame still exposes only `Coming soon`.
- Same-time launch: already ruled out. Steam Controller and Steam Machine are public/launched; Frame remains unpublished for purchase.
## Next Checks
- Continue to prioritize Valve appdetails/packagedetails, SteamKit/PICS changenumbers, SteamDB package status, and Komodo Frame timestamp/sections/media.
- Treat SteamTracking client-string movement as readiness context until it connects to package/API visibility.
- Watch for follow-up SteamTracking commits around Frame compatibility review, Frame controller pairing, and ARM64 `bins_hardware_linuxarm64`.
