Valve opens waiting list for Steam Frame, starting at $1059

Valve has opened a waiting list for its new VR system, Steam Frame, with prices starting at $1,059 (£889) for the 256GB model and $1,299 (£1089) for the 1TB version. Both models feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, 16GB of RAM, and include two controllers along with Half-Life: Alyx. Notably, neither headset comes with a power supply.

The 256GB headset boasts a 2160 x 2160 LCD per eye, a 72-144Hz refresh rate, inside-out camera-based tracking, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and dual speakers and microphones. The 1TB version adds a 1TB storage option, similar specifications, but at a higher price. Valve recently announced three new hardware products, including the Steam Frame headset and controllers, a new Steam controller, and a next-gen Steam Machine.
