Valve accidentally published setup and unboxing videos for its Steam Frame VR headset on the ARM Steam client before quickly removing them. The leaked footage provides the first detailed look at the device's physical setup process and accessories.
Several promotional videos showing the Steam Frame's unboxing, initial setup, and included accessories appeared on Valve's ARM Steam client following a recent update. The Steam Hardware Updates account on X reported that Valve removed the content shortly after discovery.
The Steam Frame is Valve's virtual-reality headset designed to stream games from a PC or run them locally. The device features LCD screens with 2160 x 2160 resolution per eye, delivering sharp visuals for immersive gaming experiences.
Valve first announced the Steam Frame last year, positioning it as a competitor in the growing VR gaming market. The leaked videos provide rare insight into the physical product and user experience Valve has been developing.
While Valve has not officially detailed the complete setup process or all accessories bundled with the headset, the leaked footage suggests a straightforward unboxing and initialization procedure. The videos being pulled from the client indicate Valve's preference to control the official narrative around the product's launch.
The accidental leak comes as Valve continues development and prepares for an official release. The company has maintained limited public information about pricing, exact specifications, and availability dates. This leak offers the community its clearest view yet of what the final product looks like outside of renders and official announcement materials.
No official release date has been announced for the Steam Frame.
