Summary

  • Valve has added a “Great on Steam Frame” label to the Steam Store, initially tagging four titles: Portal 2, Into the Black, Aperture Hand Lab and The Lab.
  • The new category mirrors Steam Deck and Steam Machine compatibility badges, signaling Valve is preparing the storefront and software support for its upcoming VR headset.
  • Other recent clues point the same way: Valve has been assigning game compatibility ratings and now lists the headset’s wireless adapter as “released” behind the scenes.
  • The Steam Frame sits within Valve’s broader 2026 hardware push alongside a new Steam Machine and redesigned Steam Controller, though the headset’s price and ship date remain undisclosed.
