#Valve Steam Awards

Valve has announced the 2023 winners of their annual Steam Awards. As Steam was having their Winter Sale, they also gave that time for the community to vote among the finalists of each category in their Steam Awards. The device, which has been going by the codename “Deckard,” may officially launch under the name Steam Frame, according to a new trademark filing by Valve. Steam Frame is expected to be the successor to the Valve Index, which first released back in 2019. While Valve has yet to confirm anything, most details so far have come from leaks and data miners digging into recent SteamVR updates. Datamining has also revealed multiple references to the word “Frame” inside SteamVR’s files, along with talk about “spatial gaming.” This suggests Valve might be preparing a bigger rebranding effort for its VR ecosystem, though some fans speculate Steam Frame could also refer to a new console. For now, Valve remains silent, but with the trademark and software clues stacking up, an official announcement for Steam Frame could be just around the corner. Valve is expanding the reach of its SteamOS platform, officially allowing installation on handheld devices beyond its own Steam Deck.
