Run Note: 2026-06-22

Summary

  • Full watch pass completed after rerunning with Homebrew python3 and dotnet on PATH; a later post-launch pass on the same date captured Steam Machine public availability.
  • Steam Machine is now public in Valve store APIs:
    • App 4165910: package group present, coming_soon=False, release date Jun 30, 2026, starting price $1,049.00 US / £879.00 UK.
    • Package 1629447: Steam Machine 512GB, $1,049.00 US / £879.00 UK.
    • Package 1629458: Steam Machine 512GB with Controller, $1,128.00 US / £938.00 UK.
    • Package 1629446: Steam Machine 2TB, $1,349.00 US / £1,149.00 UK.
    • Package 1629460: Steam Machine 2TB with Controller, $1,428.00 US / £1,208.00 UK.
  • SteamKit/PICS shows the final Steam Machine launch movement:
    • App 4165910: 35675573 -> 36756875
    • 1629446: 36684622 -> 36756963
    • 1629447: 36684817 -> 36756942
    • 1629458: 36684854 -> 36756957
    • 1629460: 36684765 -> 36756953
  • Steam Controller package 1558609 also moved: 35893035 -> 36708367.
  • Frame packages 1629484 and 1629486 did not move.
  • Komodo was unblocked after fixing the Playwright runtime path, and the rerun found eleven new Steam Machine sections plus 26 new 2026-06-22 Steam Machine media rows.
  • Komodo still lags the Valve API launch state: steam-machine_jpy remains wishlist-only, hide-product-top, and outofstock.
  • 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_linuxarm64 moved from 1781329812 to 1781911235; bins_hardware_linuxarm64 did 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.

  • Visual assets: 425 discovered, 400 retrieved, 25 blocked. Most blocked rows are known Controller WEBP variants; new machine_video5.webp variants should be retried manually if visual completeness matters.
  • No equivalent new Steam Frame sections or media appeared.

SteamDB

  • SteamDB remained challenge-prone, but the watcher collected usable package rows for all watched reservation package IDs.
  • SteamDB corroborates the public launch conversion:

Effect On Key Questions

  • Price: Steam Machine now has public prices: $1,049.00 / $1,128.00 / $1,349.00 / $1,428.00 in the US and £879.00 / £938.00 / £1,149.00 / £1,208.00 in the UK. Frame still has no public price.
  • Release date: Steam Machine now exposes Jun 30, 2026; Frame still exposes only Coming 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 / packagedetails for Frame public package, package-group, price, reservation, or purchase-state exposure.
  • Continue tracking ARM64 client manifests, but treat changes as secondary unless bins_hardware_linuxarm64 or 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, or WIRELESS PC CONTROLLER arrivals.
