Valve's Steam Frame VR headset launches at $1,059 for the 256GB model and $1,299 for 1TB, marking a price increase from original plans due to rising hardware costs. The headset features eye tracking, dedicated wireless PC streaming, and 16GB RAM, positioning it as a premium PCVR device compared to Meta's Quest 3 but priced competitively among dedicated PC VR headsets.
