Overview
- The Steam Frame runs on a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 with 16 GB of RAM, uses pancake lenses at 2160×2160 pixels per eye, supports 72–120 Hz with an experimental 144 Hz mode, and includes eye tracking for foveated rendering with inside‑out tracking.
- Designed as a fully cable‑free device, the headset omits DisplayPort and HDMI and instead uses dual radios—a 5 GHz client plus a 6 GHz Wi‑Fi 6E access point that a PC connects to via an included USB adapter—for high‑performance streaming.
- SteamOS 3 underpins the lineup, with a modular headset design, an expansion port for future accessories, and a forthcoming “Steam Frame Verified” label to signal game compatibility.
- The living‑room Steam Machine features an AMD Zen 4 CPU and RDNA 3 graphics with 8 GB GDDR6 VRAM, 16 GB DDR5 system memory, 512 GB or 2 TB NVMe storage with microSD expansion, and ports including HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4, USB‑A/C, Wi‑Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, and Gigabit Ethernet.
- Valve’s redesigned Steam Controller brings back trackpads, adds HD haptics, a grip‑activated gyro, rear L4/L5 buttons, and a magnetic charging/wireless dongle called the Steam Controller Puck, with availability planned for 2026.
