Valve, a well-known video game and technology company, is preparing to launch its Steam Frame virtual reality (VR) headset, with the release expected within a few weeks. Details about the device have been slowly emerging through leaks, and one such leak involved an unboxing video from the ShortCircuit channel, which is connected to the popular tech review group Linus Tech Tips. Although the video was initially taken down, some viewers managed to reupload it, revealing important information about the headset. Among the revealed details is an "ergonomic accessories kit" priced at $60. This kit includes a top strap, attachments for the controllers, and a nose bridge. These additions are designed to improve comfort for users who plan to wear the headset for long periods. In addition, Valve is developing a special wireless adapter for the Steam Frame. This adapter will support 6 GHz WiFi networks, which are faster and more reliable than older standards, potentially improving the experience of streaming games from a PC to the headset. Valve is also working on a standalone version of its popular VR game, Half-Life: Alyx. This version would allow the game to run directly on the Steam Frame without needing a separate PC. The hardware inside the Steam Frame includes a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, 16 GB of memory, and a version of SteamOS optimized for ARM architecture. To support both PC-based games and native ARM applications, Valve is developing a software environment that can translate x86 games using a layer called FEX. It is still unclear whether the standalone version of Half-Life: Alyx will be a full conversion, an optimized version, or an experimental project. However, the development suggests that Valve is aiming to make the Steam Frame more than just a device for streaming games from a PC—it could also function as a standalone gaming console. Some recent hints on Steam suggest that Half-Life: Alyx might be bundled with the Steam Frame, similar to how it was included with the Valve Index VR headset. During tests, the game was playable wirelessly from a Windows PC with minimal image quality loss, and the controllers use AA batteries with a reported 40-hour lifespan. However, the tested unit did not support streaming from a Steam Machine, a feature that Valve is still working on.
