Valve’s upcoming standalone VR headset Steam Frame is still shipping sometime this year, the company says, as it is now marked as “coming soon” on the Steam backend.

In a hardware news update last month, Valve announced that Steam Frame, Steam Machine, and Steam Controller are all being affected by the wider RAM and storage component shortage. Parts woes notwithstanding, Valve said in February that its goal was still to ship in the first half of 2026.

Now, according to the Steam backend (via SteamDB), Valve ha marked all three of its forthcoming products as “coming soon.”

Whether that means “soon soon” or “Valve soon” remains to be seen, although the company gave another vote of confidence in release plans in last week’s 2025 Year in Review.

You could probably rig a charger by running some wires from the battery in the controller to a NiMH charger, allowing you to charge and play at the same time, but if you don't know what you're doing I could see you overvolting the controllers and killing them, so it would probably be wiser to simply keep a spare set of batteries so you always have a pair charged up and ready to go at any time.
