As spotted by XR analyst Brad Lynch, Valve has imported a large number “virtual reality devices” to its US-based warehouses, which can be none other than its long-awaited Steam Frame standalone VR headset.

As per the public records, Valve has imported some 32,000 kg (~35 US tons) of the VR devices in question, which was notably one week after the company imported 40,000 kg (~44 US tons) of “game consoles,” unmistakably its Steam Machine Linux-based PC.

Please be only $700, please be only $700…

After the price hike of Steam Deck recently, I'm guessing something more ridiculous like 1400.

    They claimed <$1000 at one point. So my guess is $999

    They claimed <$1000 at one point.

    The same point when they announced "early 2026"?

    I hope not. I wasn't personally planning on getting a steam machine (already have a Linux desktop that is more powerful and about the same sound and size wise), but I was actually looking at getting a frame, because I suspect Valve will get it right without over monetizing it. However, $700 was already sorta high in my mind, even if it does have surprisingly good specs.
