Valve have a new trademark filed for Steam Frame, with it appearing to be multiple new types of hardware that’s on the way.<\/p>\n
Split across two different filings. The first<\/a> being noted as:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n Mark For: STEAM FRAME\u2122 trademark registration is intended to cover the categories of computer hardware; computer networking hardware; computer peripherals; computer hardware and computer software for the reproduction, processing, and streaming of audio, video, data, text, and multimedia content.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n And the second<\/a> for:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n Mark For: STEAM FRAME\u2122 trademark registration is intended to cover the categories of computer game consoles for recreational game playing; video game consoles; video game accessories, namely, controllers for video games.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n This sounds like it will cover a main system and then accessories to come with it like controllers. We’ve known for a long time that Valve are working on a new VR kit, which is code named Deckard. But, we’ve also seen recent leaks for a new Steam Machine console<\/a> too.<\/p>\n With the Steam Frame naming, I would expect this to be the new VR kit to succeed to Valve Index. Thinking about glasses, you wear a frame with lenses on your face – so the name is a little clever if so, at least in my opinion, I think it’s a cool name if it is indeed the new VR kit from Valve.<\/p>\n It’s worth noting though, that filing a trademark doesn’t necessarily mean that’s the exact name that will be used. Valve previously filed a trademark for Neon Prime<\/a>, which they ended up not using and going with Deadlock instead.<\/p>\n
