Valve just officially revealed Steam Frame's price, announced that it comes with standalone Half-Life: Alyx, and opened reservations to secure a unit.

First revealed 10 months ago, Steam Frame is a "streaming-first" standalone VR headset with a USB dongle in the box that creates a point-to-point wireless connection between your PC and the headset.

Steam Frame comes in two storage variants, a 256GB model for $1059 or a 1TB model for $1299.

Both storage SKUs come with the headset, tracked controllers, and USB dongle.

To be clear, though, the headset has a microSD card slot, so you aren't limited to the onboard storage.

oh wait that's actually payable. like - that's okay pricing. wow. i fully expected 2000€ or something but no, this is much more doable.

Now imagine what the price would have been before the RAMpocalypse.

[–] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago

yea true. probably closer to original steam deck prices, hm?

That’s what I’m wondering too.

From what I remember, they said it would be around the same price as the Index which was $999 USD. My guess is that that was the price of the 1 TB since the 256GB would be competing against the Meta Quest 3. I got my 512GB 2 years ago for less than $400. Couldn’t imagine them placing the 256GB at $1k prior to this RAM crap if competing against that. Meta increased their price too or at least announced they would.

What could have been…

At least it’s not Apple Vision Pro at $3.5k!

I believe they said it would cost less. So it might have been 800-900$.

[–] fhein@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

IIRC there was an alleged leak saying $799, before it got delayed

[–] MyOpinion@lemmy.today 4 points 2 weeks ago

I was expecting $1200 so a bit better than expected.
