VALVE CONFIRMS STEAM MACHINE AND FRAME LAUNCH THIS SUMMER

The company detailed its Verified programs for both devices in a blog post, stating it's "excited for players to try your titles on the new Steam hardware once they launch this summer." The Steam Machine and Frame were originally announced alongside the Steam Controller late last year. Valve did not provide specific launch dates or pricing information in the announcement. The Steam Machine is a PC designed to bring gaming to living rooms, while the Steam Frame is Valve's entry into VR hardware. Both devices have faced delays since their initial announcement. As of Thursday's update, Valve has established Verified programs for the hardware to ensure game compatibility at launch. The company has not disclosed whether multiple manufacturers will produce the devices or other key hardware specifications. More details are expected as the launch window approaches.
