SteamVR 2.14 is a maintenance release focused on fixing up bugs and nuisance issues. Nice to see the Linux fix make it in here, as no doubt that was quite annoying.<\/p>\n<p>Mainly, this is promoting the previous Beta build to stable for all SteamVR users. No doubt plenty more ongoing behind the scenes so that SteamVR is ready for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamingonlinux.com\/2025\/11\/valve-reveal-the-new-steam-frame-steam-controller-and-steam-machine-with-steamos\/\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">upcoming Steam Frame device from Valve<\/a>.
