Summary

  • Valve added three more titles—Ancient Dungeons, Underdogs, and Slots & Diapers—to its new “Great on Frame” category for the upcoming Steam Frame headset.
  • The certifications expand a launch-ready software push that already included Portal 2, Aperture Hand Labs and The Lab, while Valve pitches the device as both a standalone headset and a low-latency PCVR streamer.
  • Steam Frame’s hardware appears stronger on paper, with 16GB RAM, Wi-Fi 7, microSD expansion and up to 144Hz refresh rates, versus Quest 3’s 8GB RAM and 120Hz ceiling.
  • Price and release timing remain unknown, but estimates put Steam Frame around $699 to $999, leaving Meta’s Quest 3—currently $600 for 512GB—with a clear affordability edge.
