Upcoming Steam VR Headset’s Name Potentially Revealed

by

It appears that Valve’s latest VR headset, known as “Deckard” in development, might have been given its official market name – Steam Frame. This name is not yet confirmed, but a recently filed trademark for Steam Frame by Valve hints that this could be the title of their upcoming virtual reality accessory.

A standalone, high-quality wireless VR headset called “Deckard” is currently being developed by Valve. This new device is expected to work with both Steam and the Steam Deck, serving as an upgrade to the Valve Index VR headset launched in 2019. While there’s been a lot of excitement, official details about the Deckard are still scarce, with most information coming from leaks, insiders, and other reliable sources.

Valve’s ‘Deckard’ VR Headset Could Be Called ‘Steam Frame’

A new potential clue has surfaced from an unexpected quarter: Valve has recently submitted a trademark application for “Steam Frame.” This term seems poised to cover a broad range of computer-related categories, including hardware, networking hardware, peripherals, and software used for multimedia content reproduction, processing, and streaming. Although there’s no official confirmation yet, the comprehensive scope of this trademark suggests it could encompass all the functionalities needed by the Deckard VR headset as a multifunctional device for streaming multimedia content seamlessly integrated with popular video game service platforms.

It’s also worth noting that the latest SteamVR update has uncovered several instances where the words “Frame” and “Steam Frame” are mentioned repeatedly, implying a potential link between the new Valve trademark and the VR headset. Valve employee Brad Lynch posted this evidence on Twitter for all to see.

According to Lynch’s findings during datamining, it appears that Valve might have more extensive plans than what’s publicly known. He found signs of a significant rebranding of VR “overlays” to “frames,” with an emphasis on what he called “spatial gaming.” Although Valve hasn’t yet officially confirmed this new trademark or information, it looks like the probable title for the “Deckard” could be Steam Frame. However, some speculate that Steam Frame might refer to Valve’s potential new home console. Until we hear directly from the company, these details remain open to interpretation among gamers.

Despite some uncertainty, it appears that Valve might unveil their “Deckard” device before the end of 2025, with speculations pointing towards November as the probable release month. This timing, close to the holiday season, seems perfect for introducing the new gadget – especially if the anticipated $1200 price tag for Valve’s peripheral proves accurate. Given a recent trademark filing, we may soon hear official announcements about Steam’s forthcoming VR headset. With excitement building, interested fans are advised to stay tuned to Valve for updates on the expected name, pricing, and further details.
