Steam Frame launch seems near as Valve quietly marks its Wireless Adapter driver as "Released"

Valve is moving closer to the launch of the Steam Frame. While official details on price and availability for the upcoming VR headset remain under wraps, recent software activity points to an imminent release.

The Steam Frame Wireless Adapter driver has transitioned to a "Released" status on SteamDB. This update marks the software as a Windows tool, a key step that manufacturers typically complete right before a new hardware product hits the market.

Signs of progress are also appearing in the testing ecosystem. SteamDB data indicates that over 20 users are currently active with the new driver. This suggests that review units may already be in the hands of testers, mirroring the pre-release patterns observed with the Steam Machine.

In addition to the driver updates, Valve is active on the compatibility front. The company has started assigning Steam Frame compatibility ratings to its game library. If the company adheres to its previous launch timelines, we may see a formal announcement regarding the headset’s pricing and release date in the coming week. Valve has already successfully rolled out the Steam Controller and the Steam Machine, leaving the VR headset as the final component of its current hardware series.
