Valve's upcoming VR headset, codenamed Deckard, has been spotted in SteamVR beta code, suggesting a launch could be imminent in late 2025, with signs pointing to a release in the near future based on leaks, trademarks, and early production reports.
Valve's upcoming VR headset, codenamed Deckard, has entered mass production with an estimated launch during the holiday season, potentially producing 400,000 to 600,000 units annually. The headset is expected to be priced around $1000 or more, and features a design praised as 'amazing' by industry insiders. Valve has confirmed ongoing development and hints at wireless streaming capabilities, with references to the product name 'Steam Frame' suggesting a possible official name.
Valve is reportedly developing a Steam Controller 2, codenamed "Ibex," and a new "Roy" controller for its rumored standalone VR headset, "Deckard." The "Roy" controller, found in SteamVR code, is designed for both VR and traditional gaming, featuring a D-pad, bumpers, and ABXY buttons. Both devices are said to be moving towards mass production, though Valve has not officially confirmed these developments.
