r/SteamFrame

This is just me being hopeful. If the steam frame runs steamos, and that already has hotas drivers and support, I'm really hoping we can plug a usb hub in and a hotas into that and have portable elite dangerous machine (as portable as a hotas at least)

Anyway, any niche thing you're hoping it'll be able to do?

Guys i work overnight so im going to sleep right now wake me up when the steam frame drops today!

Every single time we get a post asking about VR games, everyone gives what they recommend. We've got a lot of these, well, more like half a dozen, but in every single post, people have recommended fun VR games, given links, given reasons to play it, in every single "what VR games should I play?" post.

It feels very welcoming & warm to see everyone want others to enjoy what they love, or tell about games that are less well known than others.
I'm just a lowly game player yearning for the Frame as much as everyone else, but I'm happy to see, despite most of us living on hopium & copium, we still tell of VR games that must be played.

So I guess this is a thank you to everyone who've always recommended fun VR games when someone comes asking, no matter how many posts a day there are, & a thank you to the moderators for allowing these posts.

Please don't stop being human.

Stretching out my sooning for the day, I got to thinking that VR would be amazing for those of us who loved vintage light gun games like Time Crisis (2 in particular) or Virtual Cop.

After a cursory glance through Steam, there only really seems to be one or two games in this sort of vain, maybe a mod or two, but really not too much.

I'll be grabbing H3VR (congrats on the graduation from EA!) which will be fun, no doubt, but does anyone know of any games that might scratch that itch?

Steam Frame Verified ratings show up on SteamDB

With the Frame getting closer and closer, Valve is starting to test a variety of games to see of they can run on the Steam Frame standalone. We're now seeing the results of these tests start to show up on SteamDB for the first time. As of the time of this post, we only have three games listed so far. Day of Defeat as unsupported, Portal 2 as playable, and Into Black as verified. We can assume to see more of these within the coming weeks as Valve starts testing more games. Below is Portal 2's rating.

Steam Frame Wireless Adapter Driver marked as "Released"

Coming back to SteamDB, it seems the drivers for the Frame's Wi-Fi dongle have been marked as "released" on Steam's backend. I'm unsure what this means specifically, but it's movement nonetheless. This isn't an app you traditionally download like any other Steam game or package, so it's unclear why this change was made. Maybe they're getting ready for reviewers? You can't launch this app like other Steam games, so any players in the player count you see are most likely a handful of nerds spoofing the app's ID to make Steam think you're playing it.

COOL THING: Sneak Peek at SteamVR's new Aurora Environment

Thanks to a wonderful slip up from Climbey developer Brian Lindenhof in his new Frame showcase video, we get a new look at the Aurora environment that's been leaked and datamined to hell and back over these past few weeks, now all put together. From what we can see here, it looks incredible. It'll definitely be a pretty backdrop to relax in playing some flat games in theater mode. Go to https://youtu.be/42bTPWjNEVg?t=761 (timestamped) to see it in the video itself. On another note, we can see in the video that the Frame's software has matured greatly since the last Climbey demo video. Exciting stuff!

TLDR: Steam Frame Verified results are being pushed to the backend, updates and changes to the Frame's wireless adapter drivers. The Frame is not out yet.

Welcome to July! Make sure to stay cool as the heat starts ramping up. 77 days until Summer ends.

Hello my fellow gents

I've been saving money to buy the steam frame. Hopefully it's released as soon as possible but I'm looking for games to try out when it arrives.

I used to have a Quest 2 a few years back. I did enjoy it but it felt limited and Meta was really frustrating.

Games I already have on Steam:

Half Life Alyx (haven't tried it before)
Pistol Whip - loved
Superhot - loved
Walkabout Mini Golf -loved
Eleven table tennis - loved
Asseto Corsa - played for a few minutes
Hitman WOW - only played flat-screen
Blade and Sorcery - loved
Sports bar VR - haven't tried yet
Pavlov - was okay
Population one - boring
Aim Assault - haven't tried yet
All in one sports - fun
Arizona Sunshine remake - haven't tried yet
Cooking simulator VR - haven't tried yet
Deisim - fun
Demeo - fun
Hard bullet - haven't tried yet
No Man's Sky - haven't tried yet
Thrill of the Fight - haven't tried yet
Tons of naughty vr games too.
Skyrim VR - Haven't tried yet.

Did try beat Saber on Meta Quest 2. Was enjoyable.

Would you guys be able to give me some other game recommendations for VR? UEVR is also great as well. Really can't wsit to try Cyberpunk and Ready or Not. Also want to try EmuVR and Arcade Time Capsule.

I'm not a fan of horror and puzzle games. I do enjoy Arcade, Action, fighting, RPGS

Could you run steam vr Android games on non steam frame devices such as the retroid pocket 6 which also uses snapdragon 8 gen 2, you could use Armada or rocknix to run steam/steam vr

I got an Index several years ago and still love it. I built a flight sim rig to go with it. I've enjoyed Alyx and a few other vr games, and I'm very excited about the frame.

The problem is that I haven't purchased many vr games, and feel like I am not going to take advantage of the frame whenever I get it (hopefully I can get a reservation when it goes live).

What games do y'all recommend I get? Any summer sale must-haves?

Is there a way to see Steam Frame verified, playable and unsupported games already?

Hello everyone! This is a call for help to anybody who's able.

As many of you know, as with Steam Controller and Steam Machine, many members of the Steam Hardware community have been tracking shipments of all three products using sites like importyeti.com and importgenius.com. Recently our maintainers on the Steam Frame TL;DR Board have run into a roadblock with this.

Due to shipments having been announced in a "town crier" type format up until recently (with the publishing of our Steam Frame TL;DR board), we are currently unsure of how many shipments of "Virtual Reality Devices" Valve has shipped from China to the United States. We are also not entirely certain of their destinations, shipment dates, and exact weight. We have a lot of shipments documented, but this discrepancy has thrown our calculations far off our expected numbers.

That's where you guys come in. If any one of you have paid for subscription access to one of these import logging sites, we'd love to work with you to verify our information and document this on our TL;DR board for future reference and speculation.

Thank you so much!

Hey y'all, a few weeks ago, some mods and members of the Steam Frame Discord and I got together and decided that there have been far too many repetitive questions about Frame, and that it just isn't easy to get up-to-date information about Frame. So we made this: the Steam Frame TL;DR Board!

It is still a work in progress but we are committed to maintaining it up till and past launch, so please feel free to send feedback, comments, and concerns either below or on the board. I hope this helps all y'all (whether you're newbies to Frame or just aren't interested in digging through the internet for specifics) get the information you're looking for in an easily digestible way.

Happy Schizoposting!

Edit: Thank you all so much for the outpour of support! This project is very community focused and a labor of love by all those involved so we really do appreciate every single one of you.

To celebrate our first day of going public, and to make it easier for you all to share when that one newie asks about the mobile app button for the millionth time, I've attached a shortened link under the original post and in the board itself for use as a copypasta. Our board is meant to be public so please, by all means, send it to anyone and everyone you'd like!

I bought a quest 3 yesterday to see if I can handle VR before the Frame launches. My plan is to just return the thing in the next 60 days once when I’m blessed by valve and my frame arrives. Fingers crossed.

I have to say, VR is pretty crazy. I have enjoyed every game I’ve played. HL: Alyx takes the #1 award spot due to just how freaking incredible the game feels. I actually had to stop myself about 30 mins in and quit because the quest 3 controllers don’t have finger tracking. At least not full tracking the way the game was meant to be played. Wow, yes I want the full experience. Chefs kiss!

Anyways, I’m even more excited for my frame and my future time in VR.

If you know any games that are a must to play please let me know!!!
