Run Note: 2026-06-25

Summary

  • Ran the Frame-focused watcher and compared against 2026-06-24.
  • Verdict: no public Steam Frame readiness change detected.
  • Primary Frame readiness checks stayed unchanged:
    • Valve app 4165890: public metadata only, still Coming soon, no packages, no package groups, no price.
    • Valve packages 1629484, 1629486: still packagedetails success:false.
    • SteamKit/PICS Frame app 4165890: changenumber 35675573, unchanged.
    • SteamKit/PICS Frame packages 1629484, 1629486: changenumber 35672606, unchanged.
    • SteamDB Frame packages 1629484, 1629486: still private_exists_only, last record update 5 May 2026 - 18:50:54 UTC.
    • Komodo Frame product timestamp: still 2026-05-27T16:53:46.
  • Notable context: SteamTracking updated to commit 8dadd688e7c5b7ec08e73095ebd79afd4fdfee18 from 2026-06-25T02:29:29Z, and both steam_client_beta_linuxarm64 and steam_client_publicbeta_linuxarm64 moved. The hardware-specific bins_hardware_linuxarm64 block did not change, and the Frame string deltas are line-number churn rather than new semantic strings.
  • Customs rows were captured again. No newer rows appeared beyond the existing 2026-06-17 VR/game-console/controller shipment rows.

Source Checks

Komodo

  • Available, not blocked.
  • Product timestamps:
    • Controller: 2026-06-23T15:54:29
    • Machine: 2026-06-25T12:21:49
    • Frame: 2026-05-27T16:53:46
  • Machine product timestamp moved again; Frame did not.
  • Frame still has one old section and one old media row. No new Frame sections/media/manuals/videos appeared.

SteamDB

  • Package-page report was generated, though the run also recorded SteamDB errors/challenge state.
  • Frame packages remain unchanged:
    • 1629484: last record update 5 May 2026 - 18:50:54 UTC, changenumber 35672606, private_exists_only.
    • 1629486: last record update 5 May 2026 - 18:50:54 UTC, changenumber 35672606, private_exists_only.
  • Machine packages remain public/details_available as post-launch comparator rows.

SteamTracking / GameTracking

  • Source moved from commit 5d3d8b2c150f1688f6e5a4ce0c1c6ace8e4285e6 (2026-06-24T03:19:32Z) to 8dadd688e7c5b7ec08e73095ebd79afd4fdfee18 (2026-06-25T02:29:29Z).
  • Frame signal report still contains the known setup/pairing/compatibility surface:
    • WelcomeToSteamFrame
    • skip_steamframe_pairing_dialog
    • controller_steamframe_pair
    • SteamFrameWirelessAdapterDialog_*
    • k_EAppTestType_SteamFrameCompatibilityReview
    • steamFrameVerifiedApps
  • Comparison against 2026-06-24 showed Frame signal line-number shifts, not new substantive Frame strings.
  • ARM64 client manifests moved:
    • steam_client_beta_linuxarm64: 1781223733 -> 1782330129
    • steam_client_publicbeta_linuxarm64: 1782257239 -> 1782344391
  • Changed ARM64 blocks include bins_linuxarm64, steam_linuxarm64, and runtime blocks. bins_hardware_linuxarm64 stayed unchanged in both beta and publicbeta.

SteamVR Depots

  • SteamVR depot metadata was partially blocked.
  • No new Frame-specific SteamVR depot signal surfaced in the default report.
  • The only Frame-focus SteamVR line was old Steam Link VR context from 2025-09-26, not a new Steam Frame launch signal.

SteamOS Package Mirror

  • SteamOS mirror was reachable.
  • Existing fremont-hw-support 20260506.1-1 remains present in holo-3.8 and holo-main.
  • No direct Steam Frame, Deckard, Roy, ARM/Snapdragon, or new product-specific repo namespace appeared.

Valve Support / CDN

  • Valve endpoints were reachable.
  • Public API status:
    • Frame app 4165890: public, Coming soon, packages=, package_groups=0, no price.
    • Frame package 1629484: private, packagedetails success:false.
    • Frame package 1629486: private, packagedetails success:false.
  • Machine packages remain public and are only comparator/background now.

Customs / Regulatory

  • Customs shipment rows were captured with partial source errors.
  • Newest relevant rows remain the existing 2026-06-17 arrivals:
    • Three VIRTUAL REALITY DEVICES rows to CEVA NL C/O VALVE CORPORATION, each 42 PKG, around 6406-6467 Kgs.
    • Two GAME CONSOLE rows to CEVA NL C/O VALVE CORPORATION, each 42 PKG, around 12554-12698 Kgs.
    • One WIRELESS PC CONTROLLER row to VALVE CORPORATION.
  • No newer shipment rows appeared in this run.

Effect On Key Questions

  • Price: no change. Steam Frame still has no public price.
  • Release date: no change. Steam Frame still exposes only Coming soon.
  • Same-time launch: already ruled out. Today reinforces that Frame remains behind Machine in public package/store readiness.

Next Checks

  • Continue Frame-first checks of SteamKit/PICS and Valve appdetails / packagedetails.
  • Watch for any movement in Frame app 4165890 or packages 1629484, 1629486.
  • Treat ARM64 client movement as context until it connects to Frame package/API movement, public pages, or new Frame-specific strings.
  • Keep watching VR-labelled shipment rows for corroboration, but do not treat them as launch timing proof.
