Steam Frame Setup Videos Leak Online Following a Steam Client Update, Suggesting That Valve’s Next-Gen VR Headset Might Be Launching Soon
The leaked clips reveal battery placement, manual lens adjustment and a supplied wireless dongle for PC streaming.
- On Wednesday, Valve accidentally published eight unboxing and setup videos for the Steam Frame on the ARM Steam Client before quickly removing them. Users captured the files before deletion, according to Steam Hardware Updates.
- The Steam Frame features a 21.6Wh battery integrated into the back headstrap, charged via USB-C, and a manual interpupillary distance wheel for focus adjustment. These hardware details were revealed in the leaked unboxing videos.
- An "Ergonomic Accessories Kit" includes hand straps and a top head strap to "improve weight distribution and provide" stability. The videos also demonstrate a login method requiring users to scan a QR code through the headset lens.

- The Steam Frame supports wireless streaming from a PC and local play, with "a little more than 70" games currently compatible directly. These accidental leaks provide unprecedented detail on the headset's design before its official release.
