A July 8 delivery brought Valve’s total US Steam Frame headset shipments to 15, reinforcing signs that pre-orders or a launch could come within weeks.
The steady import pattern suggests Valve is building inventory ahead of a busy release, echoing shipment activity seen before past Valve hardware launches.
Valve has also stepped up software preparation by certifying Portal 2, Aperture Hand Lab and The Lab, and by adding a “Great on Frame” category to Steam.
Those backend and storefront moves, alongside recent leaks such as an unboxing video and new device photos, point to the company entering the final stretch before unveiling the headset.
