      My wife said it’s a Samsung Frame TV with SteamOS streaming built in…

      While I think such a device is plausible in general, I don’t think Samsung would want to hand a “Frame” related TV trademark to a 3rd party.

      new anticheat measure where they frame you for an appropriate crime that will put you in prison for the time period of the effective ban.

      I’m going to go against the grain and say it’s their VR hardware they’ve been sitting on for years now.

      Steam Frame, and then calling glasses “frames” is common.
      Either case it seems like a bad name, but I’d reckon it’s their VR/AR device.
      Edit: also to add they’ve been working a lot on Proton for ARM as of late, as well as proton in general which they initially set out Proton as being a universal translation layer, not just x86-64.

      My guess is a pre-built PC or AR device. Latter is more unlikely since it would substantially overlap with their Index market.

      EDIT: A PC makes more sense given the strides they’ve made with Proton recently.

      Another idea is a platform for in-place movement while using the index? Seems a little more out there given VR has fallen off the map a little recently.

        It would be sick if it were VR glasses that could be stand alone, but also be able to tether to a PC for more horse power when needed. This way we wouldn’t be limited to shitty graphics often associated with today’s VR titles.

        Consolized gaming PC running SteamOS, perhaps? With how outrageous component prices are these days it would make sense.

      Streaming hardware? Presumably like Geforce Now, only the publishers can’t say no.

      I’m guessing this would be Valve Fremont? At least, the name would make sense for what we know about Fremont. From what we can tell, it’s a Steam Machine-like PC, designed for a console-like experience. Runs a Hawk Point APU with its iGPU stripped out, paired with an RX 7600 GPU, iirc

      As others have said, we have two upcoming steam hardware devices: VR headset and a new Steam Machine. This is probably one of the two.

      My personal guess is it’s the new Steam Machine.

    Exciting. I’m not interested in a PC but that’d be good if it had a 9060xt in it. Be a good boost to FSR4 adoption and it’d be a nice baseline for AAA games for the normal gamer that just wants plug and play. 1080-1440 native and 4k FSR would be good with that for the newest high end AAA games. RX 7600 not bad either for most games though including up to 4k. Just those pesky AAA games at native 4k. If it’s a standalone VR headset, I would likely buy that
