    Hey, you do realize that the steam frame isn’t going to have enough horsepower to run full pcvr vrchat on it’s own right? You’ll still be about to run the Android version, but that’s just the quest version still.

    Now if you plan to stream from your full gaming PC it’ll be great, but realize that the frame itself is a little less powerful than a steamdeck which can barely handle full PC VRChat in desktop mode.

    Don’t get me wrong, day one purchase for me too.

        I just want you to understand what it can and can’t do, if you buy it expecting to get a full pcvr experience out of it without streaming from a PC then you are going to be disappointed.

          Are you sure? It’s 3 times more powerful than the quest 3, and the quest 3 can do some cool stuff

            The steam frame, while seemingly really cool, just won’t be able to handle the worst of pc vr chat because it’s 100% guaranteed to be worse than a dedicated pc. Dedicated pcs already struggle with vr chat. It’s because there’s a million people with custom unoptimised player models everywhere.
