“Is Steam crazy? They’re two months ahead of schedule!”
Yes, we are crazy, and yes we are earlier than usual, but also that’s intentional: Steam Autumn Sale is on now! From now through October 6th at 10 a.m. PT, you’ll find deals across the entire store on games of all kinds.
During the sale you can stock up your Steam library, OR (and?) check out the discount we have on Steam Deck 256GB LCD models (20% off).
Head on over to the Steam Autumn Sale and have a look around, and read more about Steam Deck and the 256GB LCD sale here as well. Both end on October 6th at 10 a.m. PT.
See you there!
We’ve added SteamVR support for both PICO and HTC stand-alone consumer headsets, making Steam Link VR available on the PICO 4 Ultra, PICO 4, PICO Neo 3, HTC Vive Focus Vision and HTC VIVE XR Elite (later this year).
Users will find basic streaming functionality on these headsets by using Steam Link VR in the PICO or HTC stores, and we are hard at work adding additional features as well.
Feedback is a big part of how we iterate: We’ve learned from and grown with our community since first launching Steam Link VR Streaming almost two years ago for the Meta Quest. It helped guide how we added features and stability, working to make your connection to your PC VR games a smoother and more rewarding experience.
Releasing Steam Link VR on PICO and HTC consumer headsets is an equally important step toward our continued goal of making PC VR accessible to as many users as possible. The next steps will include a SteamVR Beta update that adds a Steam Link APK for other hardware manufacturers to validate Steam Link support on their headsets. It will also allow users of unsupported headsets to explore compatibility and available features.
As always, we’re excited about our continued work in SteamVR, and appreciate all of the feedback from the community along the way.
