Steam Frame: What early reviewers said about the $1,000+ VR headset

Just when you thought all was quiet on the VR headset front, here comes the Steam Frame from Valve.

Steam Frame was initially announced by Valve, the parent company of the popular Steam gaming platform, in Nov.

2025.

This was after years of rumors about the company developing a VR headset.

Now, as of Sept.

18, the Steam Frame is finally available.

Here's what the reviews have to say about it.

First of all, I think the most notable thing to mention is what everyone seems to be talking about.

The overall product is very well designed and makes playing VR games very easy to do.

"The Steam Frame gets a whole lot right," said Jacob Ridley in PC Gamer 's Steam Frame review.

" It's comfortable and straightforward.

Above all else, it's convenient." "What used to slow me down with other headsets is mostly a thing of the past," Ridley explains.

"I place the Steam Frame on my head and pick a game to play; VR has never been easier." On top of that, while the Steam Frame is a VR headset, it also lets users play non-VR games on a large virtual screen.

Users can play games in their Steam library using the Steam Frame.
