Steam Frame unboxing and tutorial videos just leaked — release could be imminent

Steam Frame tutorial videos just got leaked on Reddit, potentially hinting at an imminent release. The videos in question show an unboxing, how to sign in, how to adjust the device’s strap, what accessories it comes with, and more.

For the uninitiated, the Steam Frame is Valve’s answer to headsets like the Meta Quest 3. It features a Snapdragon ARM processor, an LCD with 2160 x 2160 resolution per eye, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, a refresh rate up to 120Hz, and pancake optic lenses. Along with eye-tracking, it also has camera passthrough and a 110-degree field of view (FOV). Naturally, it runs on SteamOS, effectively making it a VR version of the Steam Deck.

With the basics out of the way, here are the leaked Steam Frame videos.

Steam Frame tutorial videos

One of the longer videos (posted on X by @HardwareSteam) is an unboxing, where we get to see what you get with the Frame. In addition to the actual headset, you get a pair of controllers, a spacer (for those who wear glasses), a wireless adapter you connect to your PC, an information booklet, and a USB-C cable. This video then shows how to initially set up the device, which ships in a power-saving mode.

The other videos go into greater detail on how to set up and adjust the Steam Frame. For example, one video shows how to use the wireless adapter for wireless streaming, while another shows you how to fit the headset to your head. This is all pretty basic stuff, but certainly helpful if you’d rather watch video tutorials instead of reading them.

One video in particular discusses some of the ergonomic accessories available for the Steam Frame. The handstraps keep the controllers securely in your hands even during intense gaming sessions. Then there’s the top headstrap, which provides extra headset stability. Lastly, the extended light blocker is for folks with smaller noses who may still see light leaking through the front of the Frame.

Here are the rest of the leaked videos.

Outlook

You can check out the rest of the videos above for more, but suffice it to say that Valve has left no stone unturned when it comes to these Steam Frame tutorial videos. We still don’t have word on when the device will launch, but if I were a betting man, I’d say a fall release isn’t out of the question.
