New leaks suggest the Steam Frame could arrive with an even higher price than the Steam Machine, according to comments attributed to Valve watcher Tyler McVicker. The report points to a now-deleted stream in which McVicker reportedly indicated that Valve's next hardware release may come in above the cost of the company's mini gaming PC.
That possibility is already drawing attention because the Steam Machine itself launched only recently and was met with debate over its pricing. If the Steam Frame does end up costing more, Valve could face even more scrutiny from players who are comparing value, performance, and the broader appeal of PC-style gaming hardware.
At this stage, the Steam Frame pricing talk remains unconfirmed and should be treated as rumor rather than official guidance. The information comes from a leak discussed after a stream was removed, and no formal announcement from Valve is mentioned in the available details.
Even so, the idea of a Steam Frame priced above the Steam Machine is likely to keep interest high around Valve's hardware plans. Until clearer details emerge, the main takeaway is that early leak chatter is pointing toward a premium price point rather than a cheaper follow-up.
