A leaked setup video for the Steam Frame VR headset has surfaced online. The footage shows a welcome tour screen and controller pairing prompts for Valve's upcoming device. This leak suggests the hardware is nearing its launch window.
Leaked footage shows welcome screen and controller pairing prompts for Valve's upcoming standalone virtual reality headset.
The Steam Frame operates as a standalone virtual reality headset. It can run games without connecting to a PC, but it also supports tethered mode for higher fidelity graphics. The design removes the need for external base stations that previous models required.
- Display Resolution: 2,160 x 2,160 LCD per eye
- Form Factor: Standalone VR headset / PC-tethered mode
- Base Stations Required: No
Valve equips the headset with 2,160 by 2,160 LCD displays per eye. This resolution falls behind the 2,880 by 2,880 screens found in competitors like the Pimax Crystal Light. The device functions as a handheld PC worn on the face.
The headset will launch sometime this summer according to Valve. We expect the Steam Frame to be among the best VR headsets upon release. High component pricing might push Valve to release this unit before other planned hardware.
A Reddit user shared the video and noted it came courtesy of LabeVR. The on-screen text in the footage reads Welcome to Steam Frame. The veracity of this clip remains unverified and could be a sophisticated fake or AI-generated edit.
