Valve may be readying itself for one of its most ambitious hardware announcements yet. New listings found on the official website of Komodo, Valve’s authorized distributor for Asia, seem to confirm the existence of three long-rumored devices: the Steam Frame, a standalone VR headset; the Steam Machine, a console-style gaming device running SteamOS; and the Steam Controller 2, a successor to Valve’s original controller. The listings, which appeared briefly before being taken down, have fueled widespread talk across gaming communities and add further weight to reports that Valve is preparing a major announcement.
The Komodo website included placeholder product pages for the Steam Frame, Steam Machine, and Steam Controller, each accessible through unique URLs that no longer produced errors. This indicates that internal product data had been uploaded to the distributor’s servers. The most recent timestamp on these pages dated back to yesterday, further suggesting that an official unveiling may be close. Images of the devices, shared through Imgur and social media, gave a first look at what could be Valve’s next generation of gaming hardware.
According to the leaks, the Steam Frame is designed as a standalone VR headset, operating without a PC—similar in concept to Meta’s Quest 3. This matches earlier findings from dataminers who found “Steam Frame” mentions within SteamVR files and Source 2 engine updates. In September, Valve also filed a trademark for “Steam Frame,” covering categories such as computer game consoles, video game accessories, networking hardware, and software for multimedia streaming. The new device looks set to push Valve further into the consumer VR market, potentially moving beyond the high-end PC VR niche established by the Valve Index.
Meanwhile, the Steam Machine—a name previously used for Valve’s earlier, short-lived console effort—appears to have been brought back with a modern update. The leaked images suggest a compact, console-like design meant to run SteamOS natively, allowing users to access their Steam library directly without needing a gaming PC. This move could create a link between the successful Steam Deck ecosystem and living-room gaming, potentially making Valve a direct competitor to consoles such as the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.
The Steam Controller 2 leak has also garnered attention, showing a redesigned shape with better ergonomics and touchpad integration. While details remain sparse, the new controller seems to update Valve’s original 2015 design, which gained a dedicated following for its precision and customization features.
