Valve has released two out of its three planned hardware products, with only the Steam Frame remaining. After previously launching the Steam Machine and Steam Controller, the eagerly anticipated Steam Frame VR headset is the last to debut. According to a game developer behind Gunman Contracts, a shooter game, the launch of the Steam Frame VR headset is imminent.

This means Valve’s upcoming Steam Frame headset will face an unexpected price increase. Initially, Valve planned to use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor with 16 GB of unified LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1 TB of storage capacity.
