Steam Machine and Steam Frame still have no confirmed public price. - `Release date`: Steam Controller remains confirmed with release date `May 4, 2026` and package `1558609`. Steam Machine and Steam Frame still only expose broad `Coming soon` / `2026` timing. -- `Same-time launch`: same-day availability for the full trio is ruled out. Steam Controller is public and purchasable; Machine and Frame still have no public package, package group, price, or exact availability. Steam Machine reservation package changenumbers have now moved twice: a multi-package cluster on `2026-05-12`, followed by another bump across all four watched Machine packages on `2026-05-14`. The `2026-06-05` pass found no new watched SteamKit/PICS package/app movement and no Valve public API readiness. SteamTracking advanced to commit `135035494a6bf1156ee33c4a42db1c5dd1939b8a` (`2026-06-05T05:09:38Z`) and includes significant Steam Frame client-beta surface: `WelcomeToSteamFrame`, `skip_steamframe_pairing_dialog`, `controller_steamframe_pair`, `SteamFrameWirelessAdapterDialog`, `k_EAppTestType_SteamFrameCompatibilityReview`, `steamFrameVerifiedApps`, and `LibraryTab_FrameVerified`. This is a real client-readiness signal, but still not a package unlock, price, or launch-date signal. ImportGenius still shows relevant `GAME CONSOLE` shipments to `INGRAM MICRO C/O VALVE CORPORATION` through `2026-05-18`; this remains logistics corroboration, not public launch confirmation. +- `Same-time launch`: same-day availability for the full trio is ruled out. Steam Controller is public and purchasable; Machine and Frame still have no public package, package group, price, or exact availability. Steam Machine reservation package changenumbers have now moved three times: a multi-package cluster on `2026-05-12`, a follow-up bump across all four watched Machine packages on `2026-05-14`, and another all-four package bump on `2026-06-09`. The `2026-06-09` pass found no Valve public API readiness, and the two watched Steam Frame package IDs did not move. This makes Steam Machine the strongest current near-term signal, but it remains private backend movement rather than preorder confirmation.
