Steam Frame unboxing and tutorial videos just leaked — release could be imminent
Reddit just leaked a bunch of Steam Frame tutorial videos, showing how to set up the VR headset and more. Could Valve's headset be here sooner than expected?
Valve’s upcoming Steam Frame headset has just been the subject of leaked unboxing and tutorial videos on Reddit, potentially indicating an imminent release. The videos provide a comprehensive overview of the device, including its unboxing, signing in, adjusting the strap, and accessories included. The Steam Frame is Valve’s response to headsets like Meta Quest 3, featuring a Snapdragon ARM processor, an LCD with a 2160 x 2160 resolution per eye, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, a refresh rate of up to 120Hz, pancake optic lenses, eye-tracking, camera passthrough, and a 110-degree field of view (FOV). It runs on SteamOS, making it a VR version of the Steam Deck.
One of the longer videos showcases the unboxing, featuring the headset, controllers, a spacer for those wearing glasses, a wireless adapter for connecting to a PC, an information booklet, and a USB-C cable. Another video demonstrates the initial setup process, which arrives in power-saving mode. Additional videos cover the setup and adjustment of the Steam Frame, such as using the wireless adapter for wireless streaming and fitting the headset to one’s head.
Ergonomic accessories for the Steam Frame are also detailed in a video, including handstraps to keep the controllers secure during intense gaming sessions, a top headstrap for added headset stability, and an extended light blocker for users with smaller noses who may still experience light leakage. These videos offer a thorough look at the device, leaving little unaddressed. While the release date remains uncertain, a fall launch seems plausible.
