Valve's Steam Frame VR Headset Launches at $1,059
Valve has unveiled the Steam Frame, its latest VR headset, with a starting price of $1,059 for the 256GB model and $1,299 for the 1TB variant. The device marks an expansion of Valve's gaming hardware lineup, offering flexibility for users who want to play both traditional flat-screen games and VR titles.
The Steam Frame supports local execution and streaming of both game types from a connected PC, giving users options depending on their hardware setup and preferences. Notably, every unit ships with a copy of Half-Life: Alyx, Valve's flagship VR title from the Half-Life franchise. The company has also ported the game to run natively on the headset itself, in addition to its existing streaming capability.
The pricing positions the Steam Frame in the premium segment of the VR market, with regional variations reflecting currency differences across markets including Canada, Europe, the UK, Australia, and Poland.
