Steam Hardware Watch Status

Last updated: 2026-07-27

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.
  • 2026-07-27 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. 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.
  • 2026-07-10 Frame check: Steam Frame still has no public 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 did move: SteamTracking advanced to 319a0a9d08aaa4c700914f0224372e41eaf4e29b and added semantic Steam Frame Wireless Adapter troubleshooting / airplane-mode dialog strings and skip settings; steam_client_publicbeta_linuxarm64 moved to 1783556394, but bins_hardware_linuxarm64 did not change. Customs now includes newer 2026-07-08 and 2026-07-07 rows, including one VIRTUAL REALITY DEVICES shipment and multiple GAME CONSOLE shipments. Steam Machine app 4165910 and package 1629446 moved in SteamKit/PICS post-launch; treat that as comparator/background unless it later connects to Frame.
  • 2026-07-08 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 background movement did appear in SteamTracking: source advanced to 5f07ded044d4a83a4d53fa68966b9c978821ae55, steam_client_beta_linuxarm64 moved to 1783475136, and steam_client_publicbeta_linuxarm64 moved to 1783376539; however bins_hardware_linuxarm64 did not change and a normalized SteamTracking hardware-signal diff versus 2026-07-06 had 0 semantic additions/removals. Customs still has no newer relevant rows beyond 2026-07-01.
  • 2026-07-06 Frame check: no new Steam Frame launch-readiness movement. 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 with 5 May 2026 - 18:50:54 UTC last record updates; and Komodo Frame remains at 2026-07-03T15:56:30 with only the old wishlist section / old Frame_BG.png. SteamTracking did not advance from d7f9e6423a61e5e00dea911fce64233765aca379, ARM64 manifests did not move, and customs still has no newer relevant rows beyond 2026-07-01.
  • 2026-07-05 Frame check: no new Steam Frame launch-readiness movement since the July 3 Komodo media/product staging. Valve still shows Frame app 4165890 as Coming soon with no packages or package groups, 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 one old wishlist section / old Frame_BG.png. SteamTracking source advanced to d7f9e6423a61e5e00dea911fce64233765aca379 (2026-07-04T00:48:46Z), but no new Frame package/API/string launch signal appeared.
  • 2026-07-03 Frame check: Komodo Frame product staging moved and is not timestamp-only: product modified moved to 2026-07-03T15:56:30, featured_media changed from 413708 to 456489, and the product excerpt removed the inline frameLogo.svg image. The new featured media is source_SF_headsetControllers_front_2.jpg, dated/modified 2026-07-03T15:54:53. A later same-day recheck still shows no launch: Valve, SteamKit/PICS, and SteamDB show no public Frame package, package group, price, or exact date. SteamTracking publicbeta ARM64 advanced, but bins_hardware_linuxarm64 did not change. New 2026-07-01 shipment rows include one VIRTUAL REALITY DEVICES row and two GAME CONSOLE rows.
  • 2026-07-01 Frame check: no public Steam Frame readiness change. Frame app/package rows are unchanged in Valve, SteamKit/PICS, and SteamDB; Komodo Frame timestamp remains 2026-06-29T12:11:28 with unchanged old wishlist section/media; no newer shipment rows appeared. Background movement was limited to Steam Machine app and Steam Controller package metadata.
  • 2026-06-29 Frame check: no public Steam Frame readiness change. Komodo Frame product timestamp moved to 2026-06-29T12:11:28, but raw JSON diff versus 2026-06-28 showed no content/class/category/tag/field change after excluding modified / modified_gmt; Frame sections and media also remained unchanged. Valve, SteamKit/PICS, and SteamDB all remain unchanged for Frame app 4165890 and packages 1629484, 1629486.
  • 2026-06-28 Frame check: no public Steam Frame readiness change. Valve, SteamKit/PICS, SteamDB, and Komodo all remain unchanged for Frame app 4165890 and packages 1629484, 1629486. Newer 2026-06-24 VIRTUAL REALITY DEVICES shipment rows appeared, which is useful logistics corroboration but not launch confirmation.
  • 2026-06-25 Frame check: no public Steam Frame readiness change. Valve, SteamKit/PICS, SteamDB, and Komodo all remain unchanged for Frame app 4165890 and packages 1629484, 1629486. SteamTracking/ARM64 client manifests moved, but without Frame package/API movement or new semantic Frame strings.

  • SteamTracking:
    • The first run attempt found /tmp/SteamTracking-shallow-20260720 had source files but an invalid .git directory. A fresh shallow checkout was cloned to /tmp/SteamTracking-shallow-20260727, then the watcher completed successfully.
    • Source is now 2cd20e8c0fd1c95c00634f8d49b8095343bd288d (2026-07-24T23:42:25Z), versus 8c5870a2e67a2cb36c2d406926ecbb727a34b667 (2026-07-24T04:04:01Z) in the previous baseline.
    • Normalized Frame-focused comparison versus 2026-07-24 added Steam Frame compatibility/filter strings, SteamFrameVerified description/header strings, and Settings_Controller_Frame_Pairing_* localization. This is a meaningful client-readiness signal, not commerce/API readiness.
    • steam_client_beta_linuxarm64 moved from 1784677696 to 1784785014.
    • steam_client_publicbeta_linuxarm64 moved from 1784778118 to 1784934043.

    • No newer relevant rows appeared beyond the 2026-07-22 VR/dongle rows already captured in the July 24 pass.
    • Newest rows remain the two 2026-07-22 Valve-bound VIRTUAL REALITY DEVICES rows from Tech-Front that explicitly mention WIFI DONGLE/ADAPTER, plus the same-day GAME CONSOLE comparator row.
    • Some customs source fetches failed, so customs status is partial. ImportGenius rows were still captured.

  • Customs:
    • No newer rows appeared beyond the existing 2026-06-17 VR/game-console/controller rows.

Komodo

  • 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].
  • 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 2026-06-22 run:
    • Controller app 4165870: 35731145
    • Frame app 4165890: 35675573
    • 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 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 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 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 2026-06-22 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:
    • GuidedTour_SteamMachine_Welcome_Title
    • GuidedTour_SteamMachine_SendOff_Description
    • GuidedTour_SDCard_Title_SteamMachine
    • Steam Machine compatibility-warning strings
  • Dedicated Steam Frame client signal report now surfaces high-signal Frame lines that were previously buried in the broad hardware report:
    • WelcomeToSteamFrame
    • skip_steamframe_pairing_dialog
    • controller_steamframe_pair
    • GuidedTour_FrameAlreadyPairedWith
    • GuidedTour_FrameNowPairedWith
    • GuidedTour_Frame_SetupComplete
    • GuidedTour_SearchingForWirelessAdapter
    • GuidedTour_WirelessAdapterDetected
    • Settings_RemotePlay_WifiAPSection
    • SteamFrameWirelessAdapterDialog_*
    • k_EAppTestType_SteamFrameCompatibilityReview
    • steamFrameVerifiedApps
    • LibraryTab_FrameVerified
  • The older focused pairing report still contains the known Triton/Ibex controller pairing surface:
    • ibex_internal
    • ibex_external
    • PairDongleTritonConnected
    • PairDongleTritonDocked
    • ShouldTritonPairInOobe
  • Known reservation package-code baseline remains: Machine package IDs 1629446, 1629447, 1629458, 1629460 and Frame package IDs 1629484, 1629486 first appeared in SteamTracking commit 334bd31a28a0 at 2026-04-28T23:46:34Z.
  • 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 2026-06-22 report:
    • steam_client_beta_linuxarm64: version 1781223733; bins_hardware_linuxarm64.zip.da8814f3cc3788fd3789ce233dd86f107b2b244a; size 10039405.
    • steam_client_publicbeta_linuxarm64: version 1781911235; bins_hardware_linuxarm64.zip.da8814f3cc3788fd3789ce233dd86f107b2b244a; size 10039405.
  • ARM64 public beta client manifest movement appeared versus the 2026-06-19 baseline, including bins_linuxarm64, steam_linuxarm64, bins_steamrt_linuxarm64, bins_misc_linuxarm64, and webkit_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 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 2026-06-22, 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.
  • 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, 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 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 2026-06-22: partial. ImportInfo automated fetches were blocked, while ImportGenius importer pages fetched and parsed.
  • The customs watcher now covers ImportGenius importer pages for INGRAM MICRO C/O VALVE CORPORATION, CEVA C/O VALVE CORPORATION, CEVA NL C/O VALVE CORPORATION, and VALVE CORPORATION.
  • ImportGenius lists 37 relevant Valve-hardware shipment rows in the 2026-06-22 report.
  • No newer customs rows appeared versus the 2026-06-19 report.
  • Newest high-signal rows:
    • SNHBSHACHI265222, arrived 2026-06-17, CEVA NL C/O VALVE CORPORATION, GAME CONSOLE, 42 PKG, 12698 Kgs.

    • SNHBSHACHI265176, arrived 2026-06-10, CEVA C/O VALVE CORPORATION, VIRTUAL REALITY DEVICES, 42 PKG, 6391 Kgs.
    • SNHBSHALAX265177, arrived 2026-06-10, CEVA NL C/O VALVE CORPORATION, VIRTUAL REALITY DEVICES, 42 PKG, 6400 Kgs.
    • 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.
  • Customs data remains corroborating evidence only, not price/date/product-identity proof.

Open Questions

  • 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 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.
