Developers share their impressions of the new Valve devices that the company brought to the GDC conference

Basics: ➡️Steam Frame is called one of the lightest and most comfortable VR helmets they have ever worn. ➡️The helmet can work as a standalone device at about the level of a Steam Deck, but when connected to a Steam Machine, the performance is noticeably higher - for example, Half-Life: Alyx works like clockwork. ➡️Steam Machine turned out to be much more compact than some developers expected.You can easily take the device with you on trips. ➡️According to some developers, the system is between Xbox Series S and PlayStation 5 in terms of power and is designed primarily for 1080p gaming. ➡️The new Steam controller is described as “very natural”: you quickly get used to the controls. ➡️Separately, they showed a transparent engineering prototype of the Steam Frame VR glasses, created for testing cooling and ventilation. ➡️And Valve also cajoled developers with free hats and delicious drinks (where would Valve be without hats 🙂)

In the latest press release, Valve said that it still plans to release the devices this year, but due to the global shortage of RAM, it did not give specific dates or final prices. #game #Steam
