Very interested to see pricing for the Frame. Might be my first VR purchase!
Assume $1000 and be pleasantly surprised if its not. Start saving money now.
I’ve sold all my base stations, knuckles and headset and now I’m here twiddling my thumbs
Same! Pls let me have this final joy before it all collapses and life becomes unaffordable 🙏
I had a Quest 1 and used it play some early levels in Half Life Alyx and now I’m waiting till the Frame is out to finish it.
You are me. I am you. Looking forward to more pixels and less Meta!
In this economy it’ll cost as much as the apple vr set
I am going to be optimistic until reality punches me in the gut.
Frame I’m interested in. Controller I’m going to buy 100%

The Frame supports foveated rendering so that will help reduce the requirements a bit. Additionally, while the game looks impressive, it’s mostly corridors and the like so it’s not doing a huge amount of GPU work.
I might be remembering incorrectly, but didn’t the Frame support foviated streaming not rendering? As in, isn’t foviated rendering a game specific thing, not a headset specific thing?
The headset has eye tracking to make it possible, but yes, apps have to implement foveated rendering for it to work.
I think it is possible for the VR compositor to do some eye tracking optimizations for the app without the app doing special stuff, but I don’t know how much that helps (or if it’s even implemented in SteamVR).
I am waiting for SteamOS Desktop. I want to ditch Windows, but also want a company dedicated to gaming to provide a distro. Odds are, it will be user-friendly and standardized enough for power-casuals to allow me to do what I want, without worrying about obscure Linux technical stuff.
I’ll mention bazzite despite the tone in case someone reads this and might like that.
Still no release date for the controller :/
It might be a strategy to wait until closer to release and shortly after price reveals so people don’t hoard and panic buy the controller.
Personally my Steam Controller is nearing the end of its life on the stick and touchpad so it would be really cool if they at least have a presale for those who have purchased the Steam Controller before or people who had it in their wishlist.
