Yep, I gotcha
Valve assigned default bindings on Valve’s The Lab to make sure the Steam Frame controllers work on day one
I should also comment on a few Frame standalone titles builds that were added in the past couple weeks:
Arken Age, Racket Fury, The Room VR, and Sushi Ben
If you want a random prediction for the steam frame/machine release:
Announce- May 25th
- opens reservations
- reviewers post their videos
Purchase opens June 1st
- aligns with steam controller timeline
- heavily going off GamertagVR’s leak of possible next month release
@Techjunkie_Aman I know isn’t the frame just so cool on paper? Too bad we STILL GOTTA WAIT. I’ve been stalking twitter every day, the steam frame leaks are the only reason I’m daily-ing twitter right now. This place sucks, I want to get my steam frame and have fun. Nice deep dive btw!

The Steam Frame is basically:
• a standalone VR headset
• a wireless PC VR headset
• and a portable SteamOS gaming machine
all at once.
And yes…
it can run games locally OR stream from your gaming PC.
Valve’s upcoming “Steam Frame” might be the most ambitious VR headset in years.
Not because it’s “just VR.”
Because Valve is trying to combine:
• Steam Deck
• Valve Index
• standalone VR
• wireless PC VR
• Linux gaming
into ONE device.

@shirleysodypop@SteamFrameOut I understand, however I believe there was a poll held (or maybe that was steam hardware account?). I didn’t mind the account holder to transition to hardware news but I was promised it would stay steam frame till it was announced. I’m not blind but please see my side.
@SteamFrameOut@RatShaker445@HardwareSteam I’m not here to argue man, I’m just humbly awaiting the steam frame. Your account was sum I checked out a bit cuz I thought it was a shared interest “until the steam frame launches”. But I will gladly head over there.
@RatShaker445@MacanicalDane no, this is the point of this account. i’ve already talked about how i’m gonna transition into a more general tech account when the frame launches, and these posts are just part of the transition. if you strictly want only news, go follow my good friend @HardwareSteam
@no1089@valvesoftware Then I’m confused. Is the frames sd slot not as fast as the steam decks to be backwards compatible? And if so wouldn’t it be the same on the frame?
@MacanicalDane@valvesoftware You can still use the Express uSD cards in the Steam Deck - it’s just slower in the old slots.
That’s the magic of backwards compatibility.
Valve pushed Linux ahead by running SteamOS; they can use their position to do the same for affordable, high-speed small storage.
@no1089@valvesoftware I’m not saying you’re wrong and I agree with what you’re saying. But valve is more about what the consumer already has, and most already have a steam deck with the micro sd slot “non-express”, that’s what I’m tryna explain. They want to easily swap cards between hardware.
@MacanicalDane@valvesoftware It’s ~$45 for 128GB right now.
uSD Express is much closer to NVME speeds, and wider adoption will bring the price down.
Everyone benefits from the adoption. If we keep sticking to the old stuff nothing will ever change.
@no1089@valvesoftware And because everyone usually has already purchased a USB C cable from it being more industry standard, typically it’s better for the consumer because they don’t have to make a purchase for a specific designed wire for hardware. Like valve, they want to keep the consumer in mind
@MacanicalDane@valvesoftware It's clear that only Apple had the guts to rip out the past when they removed media drives and USB A.
We NEED to move forward. MicroSD express benefits everyone in the long run.
@no1089@valvesoftware Using Apple as an example. They had been using the same crap lightning port charger for their phones for the longest time. It took the EU making a common charger directive for them to finally catch up with the rest of the industry. But because usb c is so standard it’s cheap-
