KOMODO's Steam Deck store is renaming to KOMODO STATION - perhaps ahead of the Steam Frame

Something is definitely happening in Valve land, as the KOMODO Steam Deck Store is being renamed KOMODO STATION tomorrow, November 13th.

For those not clued up — KOMODO are the official distributor of the Steam Deck for Asian markets including Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong. We've seen many leaks over the years about Valve preparing a new VR kit, along with the recent Steam Frame trademark.

All signs are pointing to an official Valve announcement to come really soon.

From the announcement:

Thank you very much for using our store.
We are pleased to announce that the “KOMODO Steam Deck Store” will be renewed as “KOMODO STATION” on November 13, 2025.
Along with this renewal, the store’s URL will change as follows:

Old Store:
KOMODO Steam Deck Store
URL: https://steamdeck.komodo.jp/

New Store:
KOMODO STATION
URL: https://komodostation.com/

Please note that customers who have registered or used the old store can continue to use their account information in the new store.
We sincerely appreciate your continued support.

At this point, what else could it be? Apart from the Steam Controller 2 as well perhaps. Or, KOMODO perhaps getting into supply hardware from other vendors, that's also entirely possible.

If it is the Steam Frame, I expect it to be a new VR kit powered by SteamOS with Proton supported on Arm to run games from other VR sets. Another possibly huge step for Linux gaming overall. There's a lot of excitement building up here.

This amplifizes the noise from the social media posts about "leaks" of an imminent Valve announcement of sorts.

I have not been following much in term of Valve's announcement (because they're, you know, Valve). But if they get out a decent VR headset, autonomous (or wireless), but somehow still compatible with lighthouse tracking, that works fine on Linux, it's an instant buy.

I've been "stuck" with my functional, yet windows only HTC Cosmos Elite+wireless, and at this point I'm fed up enough with the hassles to look another way.

(yes, this is not exactly related to the article's topic… but reference to Valve work in VR are few and far between :p)

The headset sounds neat but I'm much more interested in SteamOS for ARM. ARM GPUs are getting quite good and could open some very interesting possibilities. A tiny Steam Deck Mini. Or a regular sized one with a massive battery for insane battery life.

I think Valve could make something really special if they polish the drivers and software stack. Especially since AMD hasn't done significant improvements in low TDP scenarios yet. Always good to have a backup option.
