With the Steam Controller and the Steam Machine now officially launched and presumably making their way into the hands of consumers, the only new hardware product left for Valve to launch is the Steam Frame. Now, it seems as though the launch date for the new VR headset may be approaching, with Valve's Portal 2 getting a new update on June 29 that includes Steam Frame compatibility information. The official Steam Frame rating for Portal 2 is "Playable," with the game missing out on Frame Verified status due to not rendering in the Frame's native resolution. Curiously, Half-Life: Alyx, Valve's VR-only Half-Life game, has not yet received a similar compatibility update at the time of writing.

The Frame Verified rating has not yet been added to Steam's storefront, with compatibility information listed on SteamDB , but a June 29 update also fixed an issue with Portal 2 launching on Linux, suggesting Valve is putting in active development work to get its games and verification system ready for the official launch of the Frame hardware. According to the recently published Steam Frame Verified specifications , games need to be fully playable on the Frame controllers and reach at least 90 FPS for standalone VR titles and 30 FPS for standalone 2D titles at 1280 × 720 p, and it must have a legible UI at the default resolution of the Frame.
