Yet another sign the Steam Frame is approaching launch—maybe really for real this time?—as the SteamOS beta adds 'preliminary support' for its wireless adapter
Valve really likes to keep up the anticipation, doesn't it?
Valve has recently announced preliminary support for the Steam Frame Wireless Adapter within the SteamOS Beta and Preview channels, hinting at the upcoming launch of the Steam Frame VR headset. The headset, a standalone VR device from Valve, has generated anticipation among potential buyers, who have been actively awaiting its release.
Previous indications of an approaching launch included Valve's mention of a summer 2026 launch and various signs of Frame imports, a "Great on Frame" Steam classification, and public availability of Frame-relevant software on Steam. Despite the excitement, early reactions to the new SteamOS update note were somewhat cautious, as the support for the wireless adapter is only preliminary and not included in the main SteamOS branch.
Some users speculate that Valve might be waiting for an updated Half-Life Alyx (with foveated rendering) to be completed before launching the Frame. Regardless of the specifics, the announcement brings the VR headset one step closer to its launch date, though the exact timing remains uncertain.
