## 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.
|
||||
- `2026-07-20 Frame check`: 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 moved again to `2026-07-20T14:27:32`. SteamTracking source is `7fed97457fb2ad2eee35401ea775e962acc56e59`; `steam_client_beta_linuxarm64` moved to `1784323984`, but `steam_client_publicbeta_linuxarm64` and `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.
|
||||
- `2026-07-21 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.
|
||||
- `2026-07-13 Frame check`: no Steam Frame launch-readiness movement in the primary gates. Valve still shows Frame app `4165890` as `Coming soon` with no packages, package groups, or price; Frame packages `1629484` and `1629486` still return `packagedetails success:false`; SteamKit/PICS changenumbers are unchanged; SteamDB still shows both Frame packages as `private_exists_only`; and Komodo Frame remains at `2026-07-03T15:56:30` with only the old wishlist section / old `Frame_BG.png`. SteamTracking stayed at `292afdbd449f44b4988e5c0423d90bf1c564ad7c`, ARM64 beta/publicbeta manifests did not move, and `bins_hardware_linuxarm64` did not change. Supporting logistics: customs now includes a new `2026-07-10` `WIRELESS PC CONTROLLER, XXXXXX` row from `CHENG UEI PRECISION IND. CO LTD` to `VALVE CORPORATION` (`20 PKG`, `6410 Kgs`, BOL `SNHBHKGCHI267009`), which is controller logistics rather than Frame launch readiness.
|
||||
- `2026-07-11 Frame check`: no Steam Frame launch-readiness movement in the primary gates. Valve still shows Frame app `4165890` as `Coming soon` with no packages, package groups, or price; Frame packages `1629484` and `1629486` still return `packagedetails success:false`; SteamKit/PICS changenumbers are unchanged; SteamDB still shows both Frame packages as `private_exists_only`; and Komodo Frame remains at `2026-07-03T15:56:30` with only the old wishlist section / old `Frame_BG.png`. Supporting signals: a new `2026-07-09` customs row appeared for `HMD+VR CONTROLLER ACCESSORY, XXXXXX` from `CHENG UEI PRECISION IND. CO LTD` to `VALVE CORPORATION` (`9 PKG`, `1656 Kgs`, BOL `SNHBHKGLBG267012`); `steam_client_publicbeta_linuxarm64` moved to `1783717985`, but `bins_hardware_linuxarm64` did not change; and normalized SteamTracking comparison added Steam Machine compatibility UI strings, which looks like Machine software/support polish rather than Frame launch readiness.

|
||||
- Frame sections remain one old `JA - Steam Frame Wishlist` row.
|
||||
- Frame media remains old `Frame_BG.png`.

||||
- Machine product timestamp remains `2026-07-20T14:27:32`.
|
||||
- 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 `2026-07-20`.
|
||||
- Controller app page was challenge-blocked, but that did not block the watched Frame package table.
|
||||
|
||||
### SteamTracking / GameTracking
|
||||
|
||||
- SteamTracking source advanced from `7fed97457fb2ad2eee35401ea775e962acc56e59` to `a260716ab21092371928054f81823ae0609db0e3` (`2026-07-21T04:10:41Z`).
|
||||
- The client diff is mostly localization work:
|
||||
- broad Steam Machine compatibility strings and filters across many languages
|
||||
- localized Steam Frame wireless-adapter troubleshooting and airplane-mode dialog strings across many languages
|
||||
- a few `HardwareVariant_SteamFrame_Verified` localization tweaks
|
||||
- `steam_client_beta_linuxarm64` stayed at `1784323984`.
|
||||
- `steam_client_publicbeta_linuxarm64` moved from `1784145295` to `1784588115`.
|
||||
- `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
|
||||
|
||||
- Latest captured relevant shipment rows are still the `2026-07-15` `VIRTUAL REALITY DEVICES` rows and the `2026-07-14` `WIRELESS PC CONTROLLER` row.
|
||||
- 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 SteamTracking localization movement is client-readiness context, 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 for a follow-up SteamTracking commit that changes Frame compatibility behavior, not just localization.
|
||||
- Keep watching Komodo Frame for a fresh timestamp, new sections, or new media.
