The steam hardware feed just published news about the reservation queue:
We launched Steam Frame last month, and with the reservation queues and waitlist in place we wanted to give folks a better idea of when they can expect to see an email with the option to purchase.
…
If you have a reservation You can now check on your expected order window by going directly to the Steam Frame product page while logged in to your Steam account. Once there, you’ll see confirmation that you’ll receive your order email either by December, or in 2027. Those in the 2027 camp will receive further (more detailed) information on their expected order timing by January.
I don’t know if they’re rolling it out differently in different regions, but I cannot see it right now and I am in the reservation queue for Europe/Germany.
😐
Edit: Now it’s telling me that I’m in the 2027 group. Oh well.
I’d gotten the email to order one, but I was out of the country…
Steam support said they couldn’t delay shipment or give me 2 extra days to order so I’d be back when it was delivered…
So I got kicked all the way to the end of the waitlist Kinda killed my excitement, now
The couriers in your country won’t hold on to an item for 2 days if you’re not in? That sucks.
