However, in a [URL='https://steamcommunity.com/groups/steamworks/announcements/detail/716780409378048028']blog post[/URL], Valve reaffirmed that the Steam Machine and Steam Frame will be coming sometime this summer. Valve's blog post is primarily focused on detailing the Steam Machine and Steam Frame verified programs that [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/1080p-at-30fps-valve-steam-machines-verified-program']the company revealed back at GDC 2026[/URL]. Just like with the Steam Deck's verified program, these are mostly concerned with usability on each platform, making sure that UI elements are legible and that it'll work with Steam Input. Valve's blog post then goes on to talk about updates to its Partner Dashboard, so that devs can more easily make sure their games have a smooth path to verified status on Valve's myriad hardware platforms. Most importantly, right at the start and again at the very bottom, Valve reaffirmed that the Steam Machine and Steam Frame are indeed coming sometime this summer. The company doesn't narrow that window beyond that, but hopefully that means more like June or July, not the end of August. Whenever Valve's hardware comes out, though, it's [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/opinion-with-a-949-steam-deck-the-steam-machine-will-probably-be-very-expensive']likely that it's going to have a higher price[/URL] than we initially thought it would.
