As first spotted by VR analyst and Valve watcher Brad Lynch, Valve appears to be actively working on the backend of Steam Frame’s store page, which now includes evidence the company may be giving away a copy of Half-Life Alyx to anyone who purchases a unit.

Lynch showed off a number of strings containing the following snippets: ‘AccountHardwarePromotions’, ‘HLAlyxPromoButtons’, and ‘Frame Alyx Promo’ among others, suggesting the $60 game will be bundled with Steam Frame as a part of a special promotion.

So they are trying to sweeten a price that will likely come as a shock to many. Not a good sign.

It came free with the Index too.

yeah, it just makes sense to bundle it with any VR headset really, especially valve's own ones. Literally just getting to play it can be the reason many people buy a headset.

It comes with the controllers as well, that's how I got it. Still using OG Vive

Didn't the Index full set come with HLA as well? Granted, that was 1000€ and a bit…

Got it with just the controllers as well. If you upgraded your Vive or something.

So you got it with just about every Index part.

Maybe not the lighthouses.

Oh I don't use an Index. I use the original HTC Vive with the v1 Lighthouses.

If you get the Index controllers you will get a copy of Alyx. I use OG Vive as well

Thanks to the RAM/SSD shortage, don't expect the Frame to cost less than that ;(
