Valve has revealed pricing for its Steam Frame VR headset: $1,059 for the 256GB model and $1,299 for the 1TB version, both including controllers and a version of Half-Life: Alyx rebuilt to run natively on the device.

GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The pricing puts Steam Frame well above mainstream VR headsets like Quest, positioning it as a premium option for PC gamers rather than a mass-market device. The randomized reservation and waitlist system also signals Valve is bracing for limited initial supply, echoing complaints seen with its Steam Machine launch.
- Steam Frame starts at $1,059 for 256GB, $1,299 for 1TB, both with controllers.
- Buyers get a rebuilt Half-Life: Alyx that runs directly on the headset.
- Valve is using a randomized reservation and waitlist system starting September 17th.
