Steam Machine and Steam Frame release windows confirmed for this summer by Valve

Valve has just confirmed that the Steam Frame and Steam Machine release windows will both be "this summer," finally narrowing down the release date for the two highly anticipated additions to the Steam hardware lineup. Originally slated for an "early 2026" release, both devices have just three weeks to arrive before technically falling outside of that window. However, for those still hyped for the new Valve gaming PC and VR headset, there isn't long left to wait. The Steam Frame and Steam Machine follow the launch of the Steam Controller, which is Valve's take on a gamepad that can be used to play games meant for keyboard and mouse, as well as normal gamepad inputs. It's already proved to be hugely popular, with it selling out within minutes of launch. Expectations are high that both the Steam Machine and Steam Frame will be just as popular.
