Valve has announced a delay to its recently revealed hardware lineup, moving deliveries from the first quarter into the first half of the year. The company cites recent increases in memory and storage costs as the reason for the slipped timetable following its reveal three months ago.

  • The affected devices are the Steam Machine and the Steam Frame; these were part of a three-product announcement that also included a new Steam Controller.
  • Valve communicated the change in a company blog update, saying component price and supply issues are driving the scheduling shift.
  • Originally targeted for a Q1 release window, the launch period has been extended to sometime within the first half of the year.
  • The delay reflects broader industry pressure on RAM and SSD availability and pricing, factors hardware makers are currently navigating.
