As spotted by XR analyst Brad Lynch, Valve has imported a large number “virtual reality devices” to its US-based warehouses, which can be none other than its long-awaited Steam Frame standalone VR headset.

As per the public records, Valve has imported some 32,000 kg (~35 US tons) of the VR devices in question, which was notably one week after the company imported 40,000 kg (~44 US tons) of “game consoles,” unmistakably its Steam Machine Linux-based PC.

      Please be only $700, please be only $700…

      After the price hike of Steam Deck recently, I’m guessing something more ridiculous like 1400.

        I hope not. I wasn’t personally planning on getting a steam machine (already have a Linux desktop that is more powerful and about the same sound and size wise), but I was actually looking at getting a frame, because I suspect Valve will get it right without over monetizing it. However, $700 was already sorta high in my mind, even if it does have surprisingly good specs.

        I think $1400 is a reasonable guess for the 1TB version, but I think the 256GB Frame could end up between $1000 and $1200.

          Seems unlikely since the specs are already listed and they list both storage capacities and only 1 ram capacity, plus varying ram amounts would throw a huge wrench into the verified program.
