Valve continues to prepare for the launch of its standalone VR headset, the Steam Frame. Recent shipping records show the arrival of another shipment on August 6, bringing the total number of recorded shipments to 22. This new intake includes VR controllers, head-mounted displays, and various accessories, which indicates that the company is building substantial inventory ahead of a formal release date.
While Valve has not yet shared an official launch price or date, the evidence suggests that preparations are nearing completion. Internal logistics point to the inclusion of a comfort kit, which features an ergonomic top strap designed for extended use. The company is actively moving units into its supply chain, signaling that the hardware is past the prototyping phase.
Beyond hardware logistics, other indicators suggest a release is imminent. The Steam store has been updated with a Great on Steam Frame category to highlight compatible games. Furthermore, the device secured federal regulatory certification recently, which is a standard final step for commercial consumer hardware. As the inventory count grows, the industry expects an announcement soon.
