Valve Steam Frame VR headset launch appears imminent

Evidence suggests that Valve is nearing the launch of its Steam Frame, an autonomous virtual reality headset designed to stream games from the Steam library without a permanent PC connection. While Valve has not announced an official release date or price, several indicators point to an imminent launch.

Key signals include the device receiving FCC certification in the United States and reports of significant quantities of VR hardware passing through US customs. Additionally, the Steam Store has introduced a ‘Great on Frame’ designation for compatible titles.

Game developers are already aligning their release schedules with the hardware. The studio behind the upcoming shooter ‘Gunman Contracts’ confirmed via Discord that they intend to release their title simultaneously with the Steam Frame, stating the launch is ‘just around the corner’.
