1629484and1629486did not move. - Komodo was unblocked after fixing the Playwright runtime path, and the rerun found eleven new Steam Machine sections plus 26 new

steam-machine_jpyremainswishlist-only,hide-product-top, andoutofstock. - SteamTracking source is now commit
d8c88a286f382752aa90b7dd5a9aa057db78a077(2026-06-19T23:33:59Z). After stripping line-number churn, Machine-specific focused signals had no substantive additions, while Frame/hardware signals gained new/renamed setup-tour and wireless-adapter localization strings. steam_client_publicbeta_linuxarm64moved from1781329812to1781911235;bins_hardware_linuxarm64did not change.- Customs still shows the newest high-signal rows from
2026-06-17; no newer rows appeared in this pass. - SteamDB was still marked challenge-prone by the summary, but the watcher collected usable package rows; all four watched Machine packages are now
details_available. SteamVR depot pages were blocked or unavailable in automated fetches. Komodo is now reachable through the dedicated Chrome fallback.

Effect On Key Questions
- Price: Steam Machine now has public prices:
$1,049.00/$1,128.00/$1,349.00/$1,428.00in the US and£879.00/£938.00/£1,149.00/£1,208.00in the UK. Frame still has no public price. - Release date: Steam Machine now exposes
Jun 30, 2026; Frame still exposes onlyComing soon. - Same-time launch: no. Controller is already public/purchasable, Machine is now public with package group and prices, and Frame still lacks public package groups and prices.
- Product readiness: Steam Machine launch is confirmed through Valve public APIs, SteamKit/PICS availability, and SteamDB package details. Frame has new/renamed SteamTracking setup-tour strings and repeated VR-labelled logistics rows, but its watched package IDs did not move and Komodo did not expose new Frame sections.
Next Checks
- Re-check SteamKit/PICS for post-launch Machine amendments and any Frame package movement.
- Keep the dedicated Komodo Chrome fallback alive during launch-watch windows; it is now working with the bundled Playwright runtime, and Komodo has not yet flipped its Machine product layer.
- Watch Valve
appdetails/packagedetailsfor Frame public package, package-group, price, reservation, or purchase-state exposure. - Continue tracking ARM64 client manifests, but treat changes as secondary unless
bins_hardware_linuxarm64or new product-specific strings move. - Keep ImportGenius CEVA / CEVA NL / Valve Corp importer pages in the normal customs rotation and watch for additional
VIRTUAL REALITY DEVICES,GAME CONSOLE, orWIRELESS PC CONTROLLERarrivals.
