Valve Ships 13 Tons of Steam Frame VR Headsets to LA, Hinting at Summer Debut
Import records show Valve’s distribution partner offloaded about 32 metric tons of 'Virtual Reality Devices' in Los Angeles, which after container weight deductions equates to roughly 13 tons of Steam Frame VR headsets—likely under 20,000 units—ahead of Valve’s planned summer launch. The same data set also indicates Valve has accumulated about 141 metric tons of 'Game Consoles' (Steam Machines) since late April and shows three May shipments of Steam Decks, suggesting a broader hardware ramp beyond VR. Valve has signaled a summer release for Steam Frame and Steam Machine and is adjusting prices due to RAM shortages.
