Comment on VR is an absolute game changer for racing games

I had to share this because no one else in my life will listen.
I’m listening, but more importantly, I completely understand 😭
Also, if you think this setup (with the Xbox controller) is great, wait until the Steam Frame comes out with the new Steam Controller integration (it has IR LEDs on the front of it so you can see a virtual representation of it in the menus). You also won’t need to plug it into your PC as the Steam Frame itself is basically a full PC.
I’m so hyped about it! Finally, a real Linux OS we can customize TF out of instead of locked-down versions of Android that look like they are designed for toddlers.

Very hyped for the steam frame but not optimistic with the ram prices and subsequent shortage of every other pc part due to AI.
I wonder how powerful the Steam Frame will be. I’ve got a steam deck and I understand it will probably be similar in power. Wonder how it will handle pc racing games.

The Steam Frame is mainly aimed at displaying games running on your PC, it’s specs won’t be as good as the Steam Deck.

Ya I can’t imagine an ARM processors going to push that much power. I’m surprised with the meta quest 3s though. That’s what I’m currently using

Yeah it’ll definitely still run decent stuff. From what I’ve seen it seems to be able to run a lot of the games that can run on those headsets. The tough part is that a lot of those games only have their ARM version on the Oculus store and are shipped as android software. Hopefully devs will be willing to release a Linux ARM version for the Frame.

Not even close. Steam Frame has basically a phone processor in it. It’s a “streaming-first” device.

I mean it’s no less powerful than the Meta Quest.
