Valve sure seems to be on the verge of announcing a new piece of gaming hardware, but don't get your hopes up for a . Based on the company's recent trademark of the term and a number of influencer types making cryptic social media posts about traveling to Seattle this week, it appears we're mere days or hours away

Competitor Meta is actually hosting its annual Connect event on September 17th and 18th, but multiple influencers have confirmed they won't be yono all app at the event (which is in Silicon Valley, not Valve's native Bellevue, Washington).

It sure seems 
like it's pulling the same strategy again for the Steam Frame, and if I had to guess its pitch will be much more focused on gaming and high-end VR tech while Zuckerberg uses Meta Connect as an excuse to hock some new AI stuff that'll make all of our lives a little more miserable.

Though I'm more curious to see what Valve does next with the Steam Deck, or if it makes another push into console territory with fresh Steam Machines now that SteamOS is far better for gaming, any new hardware from Valve is exciting nonetheless.
