Valve put up their Steam Year In Review 2025 and initially, they made it seem like their hardware plans were a lot more uncertain but they've since clarified.

    I’m impressed the Steam Frame can run Half Life Alyx.

      The Frame supports foveated rendering so that will help reduce the requirements a bit. Additionally, while the game looks impressive, it’s mostly corridors and the like so it’s not doing a huge amount of GPU work.

      It can!? Like standalone? That’s crazy impressive! I’m buying one regardless but if it’s that powerful it’s exceeding my expectations.

      alyx can run on bricks I swear. well not really but if the gpu has 8gb vram I’m almost certain even the slowest of them will work. anything that can be baked is, and it looks excellent.

      I had a Quest 1 and used it play some early levels in Half Life Alyx and now I’m waiting till the Frame is out to finish it.

        But I would expect Valve to think about what to do with it before release. I’m still not sure what Apple really planned for it, and I’d guess it’s the same for them.

      It might be a strategy to wait until closer to release and shortly after price reveals so people don’t hoard and panic buy the controller.

      Personally my Steam Controller is nearing the end of its life on the stick and touchpad so it would be really cool if they at least have a presale for those who have purchased the Steam Controller before or people who had it in their wishlist.

    Went from “build to ship in 2026” from “we’ll ship in the first quarter/half of 2026” though… so that’s not great
