Valve continues to build momentum for the upcoming Steam Frame headset. New tracking data shows a 22nd shipment of hardware and controller accessories arriving at a US warehouse. This consistent stocking suggests a pre-order announcement is near, especially as warehouse inventory reaches high volumes.
Alongside the physical shipments, a video from accessory maker KobraVR provides a first look at the controller's Capacitive Grips during actual gameplay. This footage represents a shift toward more public visibility for the hardware itself, moving beyond the software-focused updates we saw previously.
Software support is also expanding behind the scenes. Valve now lists over 50 games under the Great on Frame category. The lineup ranges from native virtual reality experiences to classics like Portal 2 and recent hits such as Balatro. While the software library grows, questions remain regarding the final price point.
Rumors from industry insiders suggest the hardware could carry a premium cost, potentially starting at $1,100. Despite recent regulatory certifications and the accumulation of inventory, Valve has not provided an official release date or final pricing. For now, the combination of hardware arrivals and expanding software verification signals that the product is approaching its launch phase.
