Steam Frame How To Buy

Follow the official reservation route and compare every documented kit, regional price, inclusion, and availability limit.

Use the reservation and purchase route

Use the Steam Frame product page rather than looking for a traditional preorder. Choose the 256GB model or the 1TB model and follow the reservation process shown there.

Reservation signups ran until September 17, 2026 at 10:00 AM Pacific. Eligible Steam accounts had to be in good standing and have made a purchase before April 27, 2026, with one signup allowed per household.

Signing up earlier provided no advantage because all entries were shuffled once. Purchase emails began September 18, and a selected buyer has 72 hours to complete checkout through the emailed link.

The Steam Frame 256GB Kit costs $1,059. The Steam Frame 1TB Kit costs $1,299.

The corresponding 256GB and 1TB prices are 1,529 and 1,859 CAD; 1,049 and 1,279 EUR; 889 and 1,089 GBP; 1,609 and 1,969 AUD; and 4,539 and 5,549 PLN, with VAT included where applicable.
