# Steam Hardware Watch Status
Last updated: `2026-07-21`
Last updated: `2026-07-24`
## 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.
- `2026-07-24 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.
- `2026-07-17 Frame check`: Steam Frame has real backend package movement, but not public launch readiness yet. SteamKit/PICS shows Frame packages `1629484` and `1629486` moved from changenumber `35672606` to `37298233` / `37298229`; SteamDB corroborates `16 July 2026 - 03:50:58 UTC` and `16 July 2026 - 03:50:44 UTC` last-record updates, still `private_exists_only`. Valve still shows Frame app `4165890` as `Coming soon` with no packages, package group, or price, and both Frame packages still return `packagedetails success:false`. Komodo Frame is unchanged at `2026-07-03T15:56:30`. Supporting signals also moved: all four Machine packages moved minutes earlier as a comparator cluster; SteamTracking advanced to `24d3ab943a5f6087473115087fbb4435cadca270` with mostly Machine compatibility additions, `steam_client_publicbeta_linuxarm64` moved to `1784145295` while `bins_hardware_linuxarm64` did not change, and customs now includes three `2026-07-15` `VIRTUAL REALITY DEVICES` rows.

# Run Note: 2026-07-24
## Summary
- Ran `scripts/run_frame_watch.sh 2026-07-24 runs /tmp/SteamTracking-shallow-20260720`.
- Bottom line: no public Steam Frame launch-readiness movement, but logistics evidence strengthened.
- Primary launch gates remain closed: Valve app/package APIs, SteamKit/PICS, SteamDB package rows, and Komodo are unchanged for Frame app `4165890` and packages `1629484`, `1629486`.
- New customs signal: two `2026-07-22` Valve-bound `VIRTUAL REALITY DEVICES` rows from Tech-Front now explicitly include `WIFI DONGLE/ADAPTER`.
- SteamTracking advanced and ARM64 beta/publicbeta manifests moved, but `bins_hardware_linuxarm64` did not change and normalized hardware-signal comparison versus `2026-07-21` showed no semantic additions/removals.
## Source Checks
### Komodo

- Frame product `modified` remains `2026-07-03T15:56:30`.
- Frame sections remain one old `JA - Steam Frame Wishlist` row.
- Frame media remains old `Frame_BG.png`.
- Controller product timestamp moved to `2026-07-24T14:43:13`; Machine product timestamp moved to `2026-07-24T12:07:39`, but Frame did not move.
- Visual asset counts: `453` discovered, `409` retrieved, `44` blocked.
### SteamDB
- Watched reservation-package table was captured.
- Frame package `1629484`: last record update `16 July 2026 - 03:50:58 UTC`, changenumber `37298233`, still `private_exists_only`.
- Frame package `1629486`: last record update `16 July 2026 - 03:50:44 UTC`, changenumber `37298229`, still `private_exists_only`.
- No new SteamDB package-history movement versus `2026-07-21`.
### SteamTracking / GameTracking
- SteamTracking source advanced from `a260716ab21092371928054f81823ae0609db0e3` to `8c5870a2e67a2cb36c2d406926ecbb727a34b667` (`2026-07-24T04:04:01Z`).
- Normalized hardware-signal comparison versus `2026-07-21` showed `0` semantic additions and `0` removals.
- `steam_client_beta_linuxarm64` moved from `1784323984` to `1784677696`.
- `steam_client_publicbeta_linuxarm64` moved from `1784588115` to `1784778118`.
- `bins_hardware_linuxarm64` did not change in beta or publicbeta.
### SteamVR Depots
- SteamDB SteamVR depot metadata page was challenge-blocked.
- Public changelog/local-scan outputs produced no new Frame signal.
### SteamOS Package Mirror
- No material Frame launch signal found.
### Valve Support / CDN
- Frame app `4165890`: public metadata only, `Coming soon`, no packages, no package group, no price.
- Frame packages `1629484` and `1629486`: still private, `packagedetails success:false`.
- SteamKit/PICS showed no follow-up backend movement for the Frame package IDs.
### Customs / Regulatory
- New `2026-07-22` VR/dongle rows from `TECH-FRONT (CHONGQING) COMPUTER CO`:
- `SNHBSHACHI267040` to `CEVA C/O VALVE CORPORATION`, `VIRTUAL REALITY DEVICES/FABRIC FOAM RUBBER/WIFI DONGLE/ADAPTER`, `42 PKG`, `7441 Kgs`.
- `SNHBSHALAX267039` to `CEVA NL C/O VALVE CORPORATION`, `VIRTUAL REALITY DEVICES & FABRIC FOAM RUBBER & WIFI DONGLE & ADAPTER`, `42 PKG`, `6854 Kgs`.
- New same-day comparator row: `SNHBSHACHI267045`, `GAME CONSOLE`, `40 PKG`, `12025 Kgs`.
- New `2026-07-18` controller row: `SNHBHKGCHI267020`, `WIRELESS PC CONTROLLER`, `40 PKG`, `12970 Kgs`.
- Some ImportInfo source searches failed, so customs status is partial. ImportGenius rows were still captured.
## Effect On Key Questions
- Price: unchanged. Steam Frame still has no public price.
- Release date: unchanged. Steam Frame still exposes only `Coming soon`.
- Same-time launch: unchanged and already ruled out. The July 22 VR/dongle shipment rows are strong logistics corroboration but not public launch/reservation evidence.
## Next Checks
- Re-run Valve appdetails/packagedetails and SteamKit/PICS first on the next pass.
- Watch whether Frame packages `1629484` / `1629486` move from `private_exists_only` / `packagedetails success:false` to visible package details.
- Watch customs for more rows explicitly naming Wi-Fi dongle/adapters, headset accessories, or VR controller accessories.
- Keep watching Komodo Frame for a fresh timestamp, new sections, or new media.
