Valve Code Points to Four Steam Machine Models Using Reservation Queue

Overview

• Dataminers reviewing a Steam backend update Monday found four Steam Machine entries tied to Valve's reservation queue for buying new hardware.
• The four packages likely reflect the confirmed 512GB and 2TB units sold with or without a Steam Controller, though Valve has not confirmed the mapping.
• The same code lists two Steam Frame VR headset packages, which points to a similar reservation flow for Valve’s upcoming headset.
• If the console follows the controller’s rules, buyers would need a Steam account in good standing with a prior purchase before April 27 and would have a one-per-customer limit with 72 hours to check out after an order email.
• Valve has not announced a price or exact launch date, and it still targets a 2026 release as higher RAM and SSD costs could shape timing and MSRP.
