Valve's Steam Frame Is a Great All-in-One Wireless PCVR Headset, but Is It Worth the Cost?

Valve revealed the Steam Frame, along with the Steam Machine and Controller almost a year ago in November 2025. And while it’s taken quite a long time for all three devices to make it to market, the Frame is finally here to complete the set. Right off the jump, the Steam Frame comes off as just another VR headset, and an excellent one at that, but in the two weeks I’ve spent with this thing, it’s become one of the best ways to play pretty much any game on Steam.

When Valve announced the Steam Frame, Machine, and Controller back in November, there was this undercurrent of hope that the company would release some secret new game to complement its new hardware. And, now that the Steam Frame is here, completing this round of Valve hardware, it's clear that there is no new game coming to support it. Instead, Valve is supporting its new VR headset with Half-Life: Alyx, the game that launched with the Valve Index back in 2019.

Mercedes-Maybach

If you're an oligarch whose investments secretly aren't doing so hot but you need a new car, boy do I have a deal for you: Mercedes-Maybach sent a bulletin to its dealers stating that remaining inventory of pre-facelift 2026 S680s now have a $70,000 incentive. That's right, this discount is for the top-of-the-line V12-powered ultra-luxury sedan, not the lowly, common man's V8-powered Mercedes-Maybach S580. Although, if your third 25-year-old wife is divorcing you or perhaps your staff is demanding something absurd and unreasonable like liveable wages, there's also a $45,000 incentive for remaining 2026 Maybach S580s, just maybe consider debadging it so nobody knows how bad things really are.

You may have used the terms "highway" and "freeway" interchangeably in past conversations, but have you ever wondered if there actually is anything that sets them apart? As it turns out, highways and freeways indeed aren't the exact same thing. The short answer is that every freeway is a highway, but not every highway is a freeway. The word "Highway" is a broad umbrella term for major public roads — it can describe anything from a two-lane rural route to a massive multilane interstate. The term "Freeway," on the other hand, refers to a specific type of highway that has full control of access.
