Overview
- An updated Steam Year in Review replaced "we hope to ship in 2026" with "we will be shipping all three products this year," clarifying launch intent.
- The previously stated first‑half‑of‑2026 target is no longer referenced, signaling a broader 2026 window without specific months.
- SteamDB and store backend entries for the Steam Machine, Steam Frame, and Steam Controller now list release timing as "coming soon."
- Valve has not announced prices and says the hardware will be priced like a PC without heavy subsidies, exposing MSRP to component cost inflation.
- Company communications, including a statement from Valve PR that "nothing has really changed," link remaining uncertainty to AI-driven shortages that have also constrained Steam Deck OLED availability.
