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.
