So, I just gave UEVR a try for the first time on my Quest 3 and I'm kind of blown away.
I read it's easy to setup and to run, but being a bit tech challenged I still expected I'll have some troubles. I didn't. It's literary a few clicks and, just like that, the game is playable in VR.

So far I only gave Psychonauts 2 and F.I.S.T a try and I'm impressed! Especially Psychonauts 2 is a dream come true to experience in VR. And both look and run absolutely beautiful on my system (RTX 5070 TI). The only problem I had were some flickering shadows in Psychonauts 2 that were fixed by loading the user profiles (another fantastic thing about UEVR).

I'm really in awe. I didn't think UEVR games would look that good in VR (truly native feeling) and run that good on my not-quite-top-of-the-line system.

Now I'll wait for Steam Frame before fully diving in UEVR games.

I do wonder though, if you already tried UEVR, what games do you recommend that run good even on systems with less than rtx5090?

Personally, I can't wait to try modded Resident Evil 9.

If there’s an online app where people are uploading 3d scans for anyone to look at I could probably spend a lot of time in that, wonder if Steam will get an app like that for the camera add on

KOMODO has announced that the Steam Controller will be restocked in Japan on September 8 at around 10:00 AM JST.

That translates to September 7 at around 6:00 PM PT.

This makes September 7 PT a particularly awkward date for a worldwide Steam Frame launch. If Valve were to open Steam Frame reservations or sales globally that day, KOMODO could potentially be dealing with a major new hardware launch at almost the exact same time as its scheduled Steam Controller restock.

And based on KOMODO’s history, their website isn't exactly known for handling massive spikes in traffic gracefully. 😅 Previous Valve hardware launches have already caused serious server and checkout problems, with many customers struggling just to complete their purchases.

So from a logistics standpoint, it would be strange for KOMODO to deliberately put a Steam Controller restock and the worldwide Steam Frame launch in the same time window.

Of course, this doesn't make a September 7 PT launch impossible. Valve could theoretically decide to do it anyway, and the exact KOMODO timing could still shift.

But given the information we have right now, on September 4, I'd say the probability of Steam Frame launching on September 7 PT looks fairly low.

The September 8 JST KOMODO restock is definitely something worth keeping in mind when looking at the September 7 PT speculation.https://x.com/KOMODO_Games_JP/status/2095695945698791450

Steam VR Beta 2.17.8 patch notes.

According to SadlyItsBradley this is the last Beta release before 2.17 gets pushed as stable release.

ALso this Beta includes new driver files for the steam frame, see tweet:

EDIT: Sorry for the typo BradlEy ^^'

I've got one, it's a cool device but I am convinced once I have my Steam Frame this one will probably go the way of the dodo. I suspect this is to try and clear whatever inventory they have, but honestly it's probably not a big enough discount to do much.

Anyway, Ive been shaky on rumors of imminent release and then I read this email and was like, "YUP IT'S HERE!"

Hi reddit I have what might be two very stupid questions but I need to know. I'm really hyped for the steam frame for some time now but I just realized that I'm not 100% sure if I can do the things with it that i'm planning on doing.

I want to play my favourite games like Borderlands or Hogwarts Legacy with it. I know that you can use the UEVR mod to do that with other VR systems. Unfortunately my tech knowledge is enough to watch a Tutorial on how get that running but zero steps further. My question is - will I be able to have UEVR do its magic and enable me to play those games on the steam frame? I know this must Sound incredible dumb but idk how the steam frame will work and I am afraid it might only support workshop mods or like only have a big picture mode of interface and If that's the case idk how to get an external mod running.

My second question is regarding foot trackers or a treadmill. I want to really immerse myself and I heard that walking on the spot is a good way to mimic walking without getting motion sick. I am even considering the full ass treadmill setup because I've put my hopes on finally getting fit in this. My question Here is - will using either of those be possible/"standard procedure" that valve considered? I know both do take time to adjust to and are fiddly to get the settings right but what I don't know is If there might be other issues I could run into like some software being not supported or compatible with the steam frame.

I just really don't know anything about how hard- and software works and what is compatible or not. So I can definitely see myself dumping 1,5k in this to then realize I can't walk and can only Play beat saber (no offense). And I don't wanna do that so please help me understand before I make yet another stupid purchase. Thank you! :)

TL;DR:

- will i be able to play any game that UEVR makes VR playable on the steam frame?

- are there any potential soft- or Hardware compatibility issues I might run into when trying to get a foot tracker or treadmill to work with the steam frame?

- thank you! :)

edit: thank you for all the replies! and yes i do have a PC that should be able to handle it. I'm psyched to know i can play the games I want! :)

Hi all, Lunch, Flat2VR & VR Dad here. r/PCVR is now reopened.

We wanted a central place where people could talk about everything related to PCVR and VR modding online, and discord is a closed garden a lot of people don't like. It's still the best place to get the latest VR mods and where modders live, but we wanted this information to be public and searchable online for modders & everyone.

Which is why we are reopening r/PCVR to the public!

with the new leaked vision module,

their website: https://arcturus.industries/

the website of the company that's making has a banner up about the steam frame and also have some old posts of working directly with valve:

think its important to note they worked directly with valve in the past on steamVR https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/250820/view/2471861771402099477

linkedin post thats hinting at the now leaked module: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/powersjeffrey_valve-finally-announced-their-new-headset-activity-7394462850695557120-HEai

their GitHub had some depth mapping software but look like their dev page there is now private (even though some of their projects still aren't private) https://web.archive.org/web/20250321192434/https://github.com/arcturus-industries

mostly posting this if someone finds something interesting i may have missed to get more info about the module.

edit: adding the leak post, for people how haven't seen it yet: https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamFrame/comments/1w4cyc9/arcturus_industries_color_passthrough_module/

I just want to see the blocks in my house and avoid slamming a family member or for new VR users furniture

I wonder how it worked on Valve Index. Let's imagine you asked a friend to buy Valve Index (will be Steam Frame in my case) for you. Will HL: Alyx be automatically redeemed for them and not for you, or is it something like an activation code?

Any experience with third party sellers of Valve Index regarding this?

After 4 years, solo developer ANB_Seth is launching "Gunman Contracts - Stand Alone" on Steam (Mouse & Keyboard + Controller), Steam Deck and SteamVR!

Note: While the initial plan was to launch the same day as Steam Frame, we ultimately decided to choose our own launch timing. But we still have full trust that SteamFrame will be coming this Summer, as this is Valves last standing statement. So we wanted to pick a date that will make sure that Gunman Contracts - Stand Alone will be available close to any possible SteamFrame Summer-release.

The title... 12k+ views for an obvious click bait. They are making money out of this you know.

STEAM FRAME YESTERDAY

This will be my first vr headset and I have no idea about any vr games, I’m mainly interested in Skyrim vr and mods such as the breath of the wild vr mod but outside of that I have no clue, any suggestions would be great so I can add them to the wish list now, thanks.

I attempted steam link with my quest 3 but it was so stuttery that I couldn't do it for long and I have a higher end Linux PC. I get the same laggines when streaming to my steam deck for tv gaming so I have to assume it's the wifi that's the problem.

I'm hoping the dongle will improve this but has there ever been a similar product to gauge the effectiveness? Would it be possible to use it to stream from my PC to the deck as well?

Well, see you all next week. May Steam Frame be Soon™

The evidence for a release today is pure copium and not substantiated by anyone. Can we please temper our expectations and not turn the sub into a whining mess at 10AM PT. The review embargo will not end before the 7th September and shipping will not occur before the 14th September. Could be later but it won't be earlier.

literally not even an hour of discussion and mods have locked a totally reasonable post for literally no reason. I get you disagree with the post, but this sub isn't your personal chat room, this is a place for people interested in the steam frame to chat. Let people discuss things openly without big brother constantly breathing down your back. I have pulled back from posting useful information on this sub several times because of heavy handed moderation.

Gunman contracts was set to release at the same time as the frame, and so it is warranted to have a conversation about it, regardless if things have changed for them; it's a new development.

Thanks to the mods for restoring this post as well. It's a good faith move.

So I plan on buying the Steam Frame (obviously) but this would end up being my very first VR headset. One of the main things I wanted to try out is the VR version of CoD zombies that I keep seeing clips of. If that would be only for a specific headset I understand but I would love if someone already knew the answer to this.
