Leaked Steam Frame Hands-On Video Reveals USD 60 Ergonomic Kit and Swappable Controller Batteries

A Steam Frame hands-on video was published early and subsequently taken down. Before it was removed, some users had saved it, and the relevant clips are still circulating on social media, disclosing accessory pricing and how the controllers are powered. The video focuses on the first 30 minutes after the video team gained access to the device, showing the Steam Frame's box contents, initial setup, and fit, and includes a distance test.

The video does not confirm the final price of the Steam Frame, and Valve has not yet announced that information. The video states that a separately sold ergonomic accessory kit is priced at USD 60 and includes an additional headset strap and controller straps. On controller design, the Steam Frame controllers use replaceable batteries, in contrast to the Valve Index controllers' built-in rechargeable battery approach. Valve has recently continued to update Steam backend packages and has released a stable SteamVR update.
