TweakTown • • general
Key Points:
- After a Steam Frame order is pushed to the backorder waitlist, it enters Valve's reservation queue, and buyers must wait for a purchase invitation, with no specific timeline provided for fulfillment.
- Steam Frame's initial rollout uses a cautious, randomized reservation system with a large waitlist, similar to the Steam Deck launch, which also faced supply chain bottlenecks and limited initial availability to gauge demand.
- The $1,059 base model of Steam Frame features 256GB of storage and is marketed as a standalone luxury VR headset for PC VR enthusiasts running SteamOS.
- Steam Frame is designed as an all-in-one VR headset with SteamOS, requiring no additional PC VR setup or hardware specifications mentioned, emphasizing its standalone functionality.
