Summary

  • September 22 has emerged as the likeliest date for Valve to announce the Steam Frame’s release date and price, with the company still committed to launching the headset before summer ends.
  • A Steam VR sale scheduled for September 14-21 is driving that timeline: once the promotion ends, the Steam homepage would be clear for a major hardware announcement.
  • Fresh signs of an imminent launch include more games being marked “Great on Frame,” including Little Nightmares VR: Altered Echoes and Moss II VR, alongside retailer listings for accessories.
  • Review units have reportedly gone out and unboxing and setup videos have leaked, reinforcing expectations that Valve is close to unveiling final launch details.
  • Price remains the biggest unknown, though reports cited in the latest speculation say the headset could cost more than $1,000 amid a memory supply crunch.
