Summary
Mid-September is now the clearest target for Valve’s Steam Frame, with insider SadlyItsBradley saying the headset should ship on Sept. 14 after pre-orders open about a week earlier.
Review units have already gone out, he said, with media reportedly accepting devices by Aug. 24-27 — a sign Valve is moving into the final pre-launch testing and coverage phase.
Other launch clues have piled up: Valve’s marketplace is said to have an unannounced Sept. 14-21 sale, and the headset had already surfaced in import records and won FCC certification in late July.
Price remains the biggest unknown, but the insider expects the Index successor to carry an MSRP above $1,000, leaving Valve to answer a key question as pre-orders near.
