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.

I wonder what the speed of the Micro SD slot will be at. Same as Steam Deck? Because my SD card slot is noticeably slow when downloading and updating games. I reserve it exclusively for retro emulation which still suffers on some Xbox/PS2 titles and newer. I had to move some Xbox 360 and PS3 games to SSD to get some better performance. It wasn’t much, but improved a bit.

What would be even nicer is the ability to upgrade the SSD like the Deck. Even if it’s 2230 which is pricier. I think it was confirmed they are soldered on?
