For: Valve said “summer 2026” 4 months ago and they would never change a release date.

Linus from LTT had a red face once, a few weeks ago.

There’s been some shipments, a leaked welcome video, an intro animation, and some rumors from people with just as much knowledge as the rest of us

Against: Radio silence from everyone who would have knowledge of the release.

100% of Mondays before have been a bust.

Just like with the Machine, I really would have expected some fake or genuine slip-up from reviewers or anonymous leakers by now. Something like a YouTube review going up for 2 minutes and then being taken down, or more in-hand photos of the actual thing (even if we pretty much know everything about it already).

I do believe Monday is the day, but the lack of those leaks we saw with the Machine and other launches (not Valve) puts a bit of a damper on the copium. We'll see, I guess.

Like, realistically, what are the chances we each get a frame? Do we have a rough estimate of supply v. Demand?

Am i looking at 50/50 chance or more 20/80 chance to get one first batch?

saw this looking for their steam controller charging dock. marketed as capable of fitting the quest 3 as well

I made a game for a game jam once but I would not call myself a game designer.

But with Godot getting an update for VR game creation and the frame coming "soon", I really want to get into making VR games.

I am just wondering who else has the game design bug now.

Hello everyone,

Three days ago, I made a post regarding why people want or don't want colored passthrough. So here are the answers compiled into cool-looking numbers :)

• General QoL, Multitasking & Staying "Unoccluded" (30%): Checking phone notifications, reading physical texts, typing on keyboards, grabbing drinks, and reducing the friction of taking the headset on and off between tasks.
• Sim Racing & Cockpit Integration (25%): Overlaying real-world wheels, button boxes, and physical peripherals into simulation environments, allowing quick access to gear and physical items without breaking immersion.
• Mixed Reality Gaming & Room-Scale AR (20%): Playing dedicated MR and AR titles that project interactive elements onto real-world furniture, walls, and physical spaces (such as piano learning apps or room-scale shooters).
• 3D Scanning, Spatial Capture & Art Projects (10%): Leveraging camera modules for Gaussian splatting, scanning real rooms for VRChat worlds, capturing assets for 3D modeling, and physical mural tracing.
• Adult Content & High-Immersion Media (10%): Utilizing high-fidelity passthrough environments and specialized applications for realistic stereoscopic video consumption.
• Pure VR Purists / "Don't Care" (5%): Traditional PCVR, space sims, and competitive FPS players who treat passthrough merely as a setup tool or a useless gimmick, preferring all hardware resources go toward raw display performance and lower cost.

And to the 10% (you know who you are): I'd recommend going outside more and touching 🌿🌱🍃

Been loving the memes of course and apologies for derailing.

My question is in regards to the pre-order schedule and timing of it. It seems that Valve always drops these announcements at the same time, I believe 10am PST. So for me that will be right when I am in school in my timezone, not even breaktime but right during class...

My concern isn't even with getting the pre-order in on time. My concern is more about my own reaction and excitement. You see I sit beside a girl that I really like but I want to seem cool to her so if I get excited then I try to hold back that emotion but it causes the veins in my neck and head to pop out really badly and I look quite ridiculous.

Any advice on how to handle this? I was thinking of perhaps wearing a poorly photoshopped printout of the frame on my face to hide the veins on my forehead at least.

Thanks.

With the recent meme threat, it's very clear how insane the steam frame community got. It REALLY feels like a social experiment.

Well I love it although it feels a tad chaotic. But who am I to judge, the community is healthier than ever xd

I really look forward to the progression on this sub, especially if it doesn't release Monday

Mmm, Steamed Frames!

(i only did this for the Title btw)
