Valve Files 'Steam Frame' Trademarks Covering Consoles and Computer Hardware

The filings signal brand protection rather than a confirmed product.

Overview

  • Valve submitted two 'Steam Frame' trademarks on September 2, 2025, according to USPTO records.
  • One filing explicitly covers “computer game consoles for recreational game playing,” including accessories and controllers.
  • A second filing lists “computer hardware” with language that matches Valve’s Steam Index VR headset trademark description.
  • The applications were first spotted by a Reddit user and surfaced in reports on September 3–4.
  • Valve has not announced new hardware, though reporting connects the filings to rumors of projects like a Fremont console seen on Geekbench and a Deckard VR headset, with some observers suggesting the brand could span multiple devices and peripherals.
