After months of rumors and speculation, Valve is finally ready to reveal the price for both launch versions of the upcoming Steam Frame VR kits.
Steam Frame Launch Edition includes Half-Life: Alyx
It’s been 10 month’s since Valve’s big hardware announcement video originally dropped and the Steam Controller and Steam Machine have been launched in that time. The last big new piece of hardware to land will be the Steam Frame VR kits.
As many consumers were expecting, these VR headsets are going to cost a little more than $1,000 due to the same economic factors that have been driving up the price of consoles, PC gaming rigs, and other computing hardware.
