Valve has trademarked the name “STEAM FRAME”, which covers categories of game consoles, accessories, and controllers. We’ve talked a lot about wanting a Steam home console of sorts, more or less resurrecting the old idea of a Steam Machine, but this time being helmed by Valve with actual Valve hardware. Could a Valve hardware release be imminent? A trademark of course doesn’t actually mean that’s what the system will be called. “Neon Prime” was trademarked two years ago and the current game is named Deadlock.

Of course, SadlyItsBradley noticed that all mentions of the Deckard have been renamed to… Steam Frame? So not a new traditional console so to speak but a VR Headset to challenge the Quest 3?

The big question is… what the hell contributed to the massive price increase? Tariffs, OLED, VRR, the Z2E?

Those of us have that played it… tell us how it is? Also let’s look at reviews. Silksong has also exceeded 500,000+ concurrent players on Day 1… as a result it seemingly crashed both Steam & the Nintendo eShop.
