Summary
A Steam Client Beta data mine surfaced the Steam Frame startup screen, exposing another core software element as signs of an announcement build.
The leak follows recent backend updates around the headset, including the Aurora virtual environment, suggesting Valve is still finishing key parts of the user experience.
Shipment records have climbed to 22 units and accessories sent to a US warehouse, while the headset has also cleared a late regulatory hurdle.
Pricing and timing remain unconfirmed, but one insider has pointed to a possible $1,100 starting price, and Valve’s 30th birthday is fueling speculation of a reveal.
Valve also appears to be preparing content support, with more than 50 games now verified for the new Great on Frame category.
