Valve Launches Steam Frame VR Headset at $1,059, Delays Steam Deck 2

Valve has officially released its new virtual reality headset, the Steam Frame, with a starting price of $1,059. The device, which can run both flat and VR games locally or stream them from a PC, comes with a copy of Half-Life: Alyx. Despite the launch of new hardware, Valve remains non-committal about a successor to its popular handheld gaming device, the Steam Deck.

Company representatives stated they are "figuring out how and when we can deliver something like that" regarding a potential Steam Deck 2. The high price point of the Steam Frame has been attributed to global market fluctuations affecting RAM and storage costs. This release marks Valve's latest venture into VR hardware, aiming to revitalize interest in the technology.
