Following on from the success of the Steam Deck, Valve is creating its very own ecosystem of products. The Steam Frame, Steam Machine, and Steam Controller are all set to launch in the new year. We’ve tried each of them and here’s what you need to know about each one.
“From the Frame to the Controller to the Machine, we’re a fairly small industrial design team here, and we really made sure it felt like a family of devices, even to the slightest detail,” Clement Gallois, a designer at Valve, tells me during a recent visit to Valve HQ. “How it feels, the buttons, how they react… everything belongs and works together kind of seamlessly.”

I recently watched a video where some dude had the 360 degree VR treadmill and used it for Skyrim VR 2hrs per day for months
Yeah but he has to mod an old game to do that. Have you tried Skyrim VR?
It’s jank af. It gave me instant nausea because your head is the camera AND they kept the head bobbing in the game!
