Reviewer shares Steam Frame initial impressions ahead of official launch

The Steam Machine, Steam Controller, and Steam Frame were announced in November last year with releases scheduled for this year. The Steam Controller has made it to the market, but there is no news about the other two. Recently, some leaked info hinted at the price for one of the two devices, but now, a short early video of the Steam Frame has been shared by a reviewer.

The reviewer in question is VoodooDE VR who originally posted the video on X, which has since been taken down after Valve’s request. The reviewer mentions that the device in the video was someone else’s and that he wasn’t under any NDA, but still complied with Valve’s request. That being said, the video is still online on Reddit (at least at the time of publishing) and doesn’t really give away anything about the Steam Frame.

VoodooDE VR does claim that it is the most comfortable VR headset he has ever tried, despite being bigger than the Meta Quest 3. He also has the two controllers, as well as the dongle that enables PC VR gaming. Another tidbit he shared was that the Steam Frame worked without any problems with both VR and non-VR games.

It is unclear if this model is a dev kit, but the reviewer mentions in responses that he can’t wait to try the final version. VoodooDE VR seems to be in talks with Valve about sharing more information about the Steam Frame.

While putting a release timeline on the VR headset is difficult, the recent price leak and reviewers getting access to units suggest the launch could be close.
