Valve’s Steam Frame costs $1,059
Valve has announced the Steam Frame, a new VR headset starting at $1,059 that supports both local and streamed gaming. The company is utilizing a lottery-based waitlist system to manage initial demand for the device.
Why it matters
The Steam Frame marks Valve's return to the VR hardware market, potentially setting a new standard for standalone VR performance.
Valve is finally releasing its Steam Frame headset, which can run both flat and VR games locally and stream both kinds of games from your PC. The Steam Frame will start at $1,059. Valve will also offer a 1TB model that starts at $1,299.
Every Steam Frame will come with a copy of Half-Life: Alyx, Valve’s made-for-VR entry in the Half-Life franchise, and Valve has ported the game to run natively on the headset as well as via streaming.
Here are the prices for the Frame across several different currencies for the two configurations:
* Steam Frame 256GB: $1,059 / $1,529 CAD / €1,049 / £889 / $1,609 AUD / 4,539 zlotys
* Steam Frame 1TB: $1,299 / $1,859 CAD / €1,279 / £1,089 / $1,969 AUD / 5,549 zlotys
