# Steam Hardware Watch Status
Last updated: `2026-06-09`
Last updated: `2026-06-22`
## Best Current Answer
- `Price`: Steam Controller remains confirmed by official Valve store APIs at `$99.00` in the US. 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 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. 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.
- `Price`: Steam Controller remains confirmed by official Valve store APIs at `$99.00` in the US. Steam Machine is now 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 now 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 now public with packages/package group/prices/date, and Steam Frame still has no public package, package group, price, or exact availability. The Steam Machine watch correctly caught the launch sequence: multi-package backend movement, same-day Komodo page/media staging, then public Valve API exposure.
## Source Snapshot
### Komodo
- Komodo was reachable in the `2026-06-09` pass.
- Product modified timestamps remain unchanged from `2026-05-28`:
- Controller: `2026-05-27T16:52:25`
- Komodo was unblocked on `2026-06-22` after fixing the trusted-browser Playwright runtime path and rerunning the Komodo section through the dedicated Chrome session.
- Product modified timestamps:
- Controller: `2026-06-10T17:25:21`
- Machine: `2026-05-27T16:53:06`
- Frame: `2026-05-27T16:53:46`
- This was not timestamp-only: all three product JSON records gained WooCommerce product category `961`, exposed as `product_cat-hardware` in `class_list`. Controller now has product categories `[961, 93]`; Machine and Frame now have `[961]`.
- No new Komodo section, media URL, asset exposure, or product timestamp movement appeared on `2026-06-09`. Treat the category addition as a real Komodo catalog-organization signal, not preorder confirmation.
- Visual asset retrieval found `141` candidate assets, retrieved `137`, and left `4` blocked known Komodo URLs for manual retry. No new asset URL was exposed.
- The Controller timestamp moved on `2026-06-10`, but selected content/class/category/product fields matched the `2026-06-09` snapshot, so treat it as timestamp-only unless later corroborated.
- Product modified timestamps still did not move, but the section layer did: eleven new Steam Machine sections appeared with `2026-06-22` dates/modifications:
- `steam-machine-01-video`
- `steam-machine-03-video`
- `steam-machine-04-core-features`
- `steam-machine-05-video`
- `steam-machine-06-led-strip`
- `steam-machine-07-support`
- `steam-machine-08-pc`
- `steam-machine-09-pc-video`
- `steam-machine-10-plays-well`
- `steam-machine-11-tech-image`
- `steam-machine-12-tech-spec`
- Komodo section media now includes `26` new `2026-06-22` Steam Machine assets: `7` WEBM videos, multiple PNG/WEBP video-poster assets, and English/Japanese AVIF tech/line-art images. No equivalent new Steam Frame sections appeared.
- Visual asset retrieval found `425` candidate assets, retrieved `400`, and left `25` blocked known Komodo URLs for manual retry. Most blocked rows are known Controller WEBP variants; the new `machine_video5.webp` variants should be retried manually if visual completeness matters.
- Komodo has not yet flipped its product layer: `steam-machine_jpy` still has `product_tag-wishlist-only`, `product_tag-hide-product-top`, and `outofstock`. Treat Komodo as lagging behind Valve's public store API for the actual launch state.
### SteamKit / PICS
- SteamKit/PICS is the primary direct Steam metadata source for watched app and package movement.
- Current changenumbers from the `2026-06-09` run:
- Current changenumbers from the `2026-06-22` run:
- Controller app `4165870`: `35731145`
- Frame app `4165890`: `35675573`
- Machine app `4165910`: `35675573`
- Controller package `1558609`: `35893035`
- Machine package `1629446`: `36426730`
- Machine package `1629447`: `36426723`
- Machine package `1629458`: `36426735`
- Machine package `1629460`: `36426739`
- Machine app `4165910`: `36756875`
- Controller package `1558609`: `36708367`
- Machine package `1629446`: `36756963`
- Machine package `1629447`: `36756942`
- Machine package `1629458`: `36756957`
- Machine package `1629460`: `36756953`
- Frame packages `1629484`, `1629486`: `35672606`
- All four watched Steam Machine package changenumbers moved again on `2026-06-09`; watched Steam Frame package changenumbers did not move.
- The latest Controller package signal remains the `2026-05-17` private PICS change on package `1558609`, where `ignorereservationifstockavailable=1` was removed from the package `extended` fields. Public Valve `appdetails` / `packagedetails` still did not change.
- The latest material Machine signal is the `2026-06-09` follow-up bump across all four watched Steam Machine package IDs, especially because the two watched Steam Frame package IDs did not move.
- Manual package-history context remains important: Steam Controller package `1558609` reportedly had a clustered change pattern plus one later follow-up change roughly two days before Valve's public purchase-timing update appeared. The Machine set now has the initial multi-package cluster and two later all-package follow-up bumps. Treat this as a stronger imminent-preorder heuristic, not confirmation.
- Machine and Frame apps/packages currently require private PICS metadata tokens, but changenumbers are visible and suitable for movement monitoring.
- Raw snapshot: `/Users/sean/Coding/steam-hardware-watch/runs/2026-06-09/api/steamkit/pics-product-info.json`
- Human-readable detail: `/Users/sean/Coding/steam-hardware-watch/runs/2026-06-09/reports/steamkit-pics-detail.md`
- All four watched Steam Machine packages are now `available` in SteamKit/PICS and contain app `4165910`; watched Steam Frame package changenumbers did not move.
- Steam Controller package `1558609` also moved on `2026-06-22`, from `35893035` to `36708367`, with a new PICS SHA. Public Valve `appdetails` / `packagedetails` still did not change.
- The launch conversion happened in the expected PICS shape: Machine app `4165910` moved, all four watched Machine packages moved again, changed from private-token/existence-only to available package details, and now report `apps_count=1`.
- Manual package-history context remains important: Steam Controller package `1558609` had a clustered change pattern plus a later follow-up before public purchase timing appeared. The Machine set followed a similar pattern, and the final same-day package movements preceded public package availability.
- Frame apps/packages currently still require private PICS metadata tokens or private package rows, but changenumbers remain visible and suitable for movement monitoring.
- Raw snapshot: `/Users/sean/Coding/steam-hardware-watch/runs/2026-06-22/api/steamkit/pics-product-info.json`
- Human-readable detail: `/Users/sean/Coding/steam-hardware-watch/runs/2026-06-22/reports/steamkit-pics-detail.md`
### SteamDB
- SteamDB package pages were challenge-blocked on `2026-06-09`, so no fresh human-readable SteamDB corroboration was collected for the new Machine package changenumbers.
- SteamDB package pages were still partly challenge-prone on `2026-06-22`, but the watcher collected usable package rows for the watched reservation IDs.
- SteamDB package-page baseline:
- Controller package `1558609`: last record update `15 May 2026 - 16:07:19 UTC`, changenumber `35893035`, details available.
- Machine packages `1629446`, `1629447`, `1629458`, `1629460`: last record updates clustered on `13 May 2026`, private/existence-only, possible app `4165910:Steam Machine`.
- Controller package `1558609`: last record update `19 June 2026 - 18:38:41 UTC`, changenumber `36708367`, details available.
- Machine package `1629446`: last record update `22 June 2026 - 16:58:26 UTC`, changenumber `36756963`, details available, app `4165910:Steam Machine`.
- Machine package `1629447`: last record update `22 June 2026 - 16:57:36 UTC`, changenumber `36756942`, details available, app `4165910:Steam Machine`.
- Machine package `1629458`: last record update `22 June 2026 - 16:58:14 UTC`, changenumber `36756957`, details available, app `4165910:Steam Machine`.
- Machine package `1629460`: last record update `22 June 2026 - 16:58:02 UTC`, changenumber `36756953`, details available, app `4165910:Steam Machine`.
- Frame packages `1629484`, `1629486`: last record update `5 May 2026 - 18:50:54 UTC`, private/existence-only, possible app `4165890:Steam Frame`.
- SteamDB remains a useful human-readable corroboration layer when reachable, while SteamKit/PICS remains the primary direct metadata source.
### SteamTracking / GameTracking
- SteamTracking now fast-forwards and records source metadata before scanning. The `2026-06-09` pass used commit `b850a6699d19fc553a8a07be29feb4db88d398e8` (`2026-06-09T01:56:20Z`).
- SteamTracking now fast-forwards and records source metadata before scanning. The `2026-06-22` pass used commit `d8c88a286f382752aa90b7dd5a9aa057db78a077` (`2026-06-19T23:33:59Z`).
- The corrected hardware signal reporting now creates dedicated Frame and Machine reports before the broad hardware report, so high-signal product-specific client strings are not buried in generic hardware noise.
- Dedicated Steam Machine client signal report now surfaces setup-tour and compatibility lines:

- New high-signal client manifest watch target: `steam_client_beta_linuxarm64` first appeared in the local SteamTracking baseline at commit `28f5287` (`2026-05-22T04:56:58Z`) with version `1779139477`.
- Track `steam_client_beta_linuxarm64` and `steam_client_publicbeta_linuxarm64` every run, especially `bins_hardware_linuxarm64`, `bins_linuxarm64`, `steam_linuxarm64`, `runtime_steamrt_linuxarm64`, and `bins_steamrt_linuxarm64`.
- Current ARM64 client manifest baseline in the `2026-06-09` report:
- `steam_client_beta_linuxarm64`: version `1780371519`; `bins_hardware_linuxarm64.zip.da8814f3cc3788fd3789ce233dd86f107b2b244a`; size `10039405`.

- ARM64 public-beta client manifest movement appeared versus the `2026-06-05` baseline, including `bins_linuxarm64` and `steam_linuxarm64`. The hardware-specific `bins_hardware_linuxarm64` block did not change.
- The updated SteamTracking checkout did not add a new Machine/Frame reservation package, price, exact availability, or product-publication signal. Content-normalized comparison of the dedicated Frame/Machine reports showed no substantive added or removed focused product strings; the apparent report deltas were line-number churn.
- Current ARM64 client manifest baseline in the `2026-06-22` report:
- `steam_client_beta_linuxarm64`: version `1781223733`; `bins_hardware_linuxarm64.zip.da8814f3cc3788fd3789ce233dd86f107b2b244a`; size `10039405`.

- The updated SteamTracking checkout did not add a new Machine/Frame reservation package, price, exact availability, or product-publication signal. Content-normalized comparison showed no substantive Machine-specific additions, but did show new/renamed Steam Frame setup-tour and wireless-adapter localization strings.
### SteamVR Depots
- SteamVR news metadata was saved. The latest public SteamVR news item is `Introducing SteamVR 2.16` from `2026-06-02T18:59:37Z`.
- SteamDB's SteamVR depot page remained blocked by challenge pages on `2026-06-09`, so no fresh depot manifest/build comparison was collected.
- SteamDB's SteamVR depot page remained blocked by challenge pages on `2026-06-22`, so no fresh depot manifest/build comparison was collected.
- No local SteamVR depot snapshot was available for deeper content scanning.
### SteamOS Package Mirror
- Valve's public SteamOS package mirror was reachable.
- Notable mirror hits still include `fremont-hw-support 20260506.1-1` in `holo-3.8` and `holo-main`.
- `jupiter-3.8` Neptune firmware packages moved from `jupiter.20260610.1-1` to `jupiter.20260610.1-1.1`; `jupiter-main` remains at `jupiter.20260610.1-1`. Treat this as SteamOS firmware/package churn unless later tied to a product-specific hardware signal.
- No direct `Deckard`, `Roy`, `Steam Frame`, `Steam Machine`, ARM/Snapdragon, or new product-specific top-level repo namespace appeared in the default pass.
### Valve Support / Store / CDN
- Official Valve pages and APIs were reachable.
- No Valve public API readiness change appeared on `2026-06-09`.
- Valve public API readiness changed materially on `2026-06-22`: Steam Machine is now public with packages, a package group, prices, and a release date.
- Valve API package snapshot:
- Controller app `4165870`: public, package `1558609`, package group present, `$99.00`.
- Frame app `4165890`: public app metadata, `Coming soon`, no packages, no package groups, no price.
- Machine app `4165910`: public app metadata, `Coming soon`, no packages, no package groups, no price.
- Machine packages `1629446`, `1629447`, `1629458`, `1629460`: `packagedetails success:false`.
- Machine app `4165910`: public app metadata, package group present, `coming_soon=False`, release date `Jun 30, 2026`, starting price `$1,049.00` in the US / `£879.00` in the UK.
- Machine package `1629447`: public, `Steam Machine 512GB`, `$1,049.00` US / `£879.00` UK.
- Machine package `1629458`: public, `Steam Machine 512GB with Controller`, `$1,128.00` US / `£938.00` UK.
- Machine package `1629446`: public, `Steam Machine 2TB`, `$1,349.00` US / `£1,149.00` UK.
- Machine package `1629460`: public, `Steam Machine 2TB with Controller`, `$1,428.00` US / `£1,208.00` UK.
- Frame packages `1629484`, `1629486`: `packagedetails success:false`.
- This remains the cleanest public-readiness baseline. The `2026-06-09` SteamKit/PICS Machine package movement and the corrected SteamTracking guided-tour baseline have not propagated to public `appdetails`, `packagedetails`, packages, package groups, price, or exact timing.
- This is now the cleanest public-readiness baseline: Steam Machine launch state has propagated to public `appdetails`, `packagedetails`, package group, price, and release date. Steam Frame has not.
### Customs / Regulatory
- Customs status on `2026-06-09`: partial. ImportInfo automated fetches were blocked, while the existing ImportGenius-backed baseline still showed relevant rows.
- ImportGenius now lists `10` relevant `GAME CONSOLE` rows for `INGRAM MICRO C/O VALVE CORPORATION` from `2026-03-27` through `2026-05-18`.
- No newer customs rows appeared versus the `2026-05-22` / `2026-05-23` / `2026-05-25` ImportGenius baseline.
- Newer rows since the old `2026-04-23` baseline include:

- `SNHBHKGLBG266011`, arrived `2026-06-10`, `VALVE CORPORATION`, `WIRELESS PC CONTROLLER`, `30 PKG`, `9727 Kgs`.
- Additional captured rows include `GAME CONSOLE` arrivals to CEVA/CEVA NL on `2026-06-03`, `2026-05-30`, and `2026-05-20`, plus `WIRELESS PC CONTROLLER` rows on `2026-06-02` and `2026-05-19`.
- The prior NBD / ImportGenius context also remains relevant:
- `WIRELESS PC CONTROLLER` row dated `2026-04-04`.
- `GAME CONSOLE` shipment arriving `2026-04-23` for `INGRAM MICRO C/O VALVE CORPORATION`.

## Open Questions
- When will Valve publish Steam Machine and Steam Frame prices?
- When will Steam Machine and Steam Frame receive public packages or package groups?
- Will the `2026-06-09` Machine follow-up changenumber bump precede public Valve API readiness?
- Will Valve expose Machine package IDs through public `packagedetails`, `appdetails.packages`, package groups, reservation text, or purchase eligibility?
- When will Valve publish Steam Frame price/package group/exact availability?
- Will Komodo flip the Steam Machine product layer from wishlist/outofstock to a public buy/reservation state?
- Will Valve expose Frame package IDs through public `packagedetails`, `appdetails.packages`, package groups, reservation text, or purchase eligibility?
- Are the `fremont-hw-support` SteamOS packages related to Steam Machine launch preparation?
## Next Checks
- Watch SteamKit/PICS changenumbers for all watched app and package IDs, with higher frequency over the next 24-48 hours if possible.
- Watch Valve `appdetails` / `packagedetails` for Machine and Frame package or package-group exposure.
- Get one trusted-browser SteamDB package-page baseline for the four Machine package IDs to corroborate the new PICS movement with human-readable history pages.
- Watch SteamKit/PICS changenumbers for Frame package IDs and any post-launch Machine package amendments.
- Watch Valve `appdetails` / `packagedetails` for Steam Frame package or package-group exposure, plus any Steam Machine purchase-state/reservation copy changes.
- Keep SteamDB as a corroboration layer for any post-launch Machine package-history changes.
- Continue normal Komodo, SteamTracking, SteamOS mirror, Valve API, and customs checks.
- Keep ImportGenius CEVA / CEVA NL / Valve Corp importer pages in the normal customs rotation and watch for additional `VIRTUAL REALITY DEVICES`, `GAME CONSOLE`, or `WIRELESS PC CONTROLLER` arrivals.
