    Steam Deck Verified = Steam Machine Verified.

    According to Valve, games are already Steam Deck Verified, they’ll “automatically be verified on Steam Machine.” There will be a Steam Frame Verified program, too.

    Vampire Survivors in VR?

    It’s a thing now. The game is available for Meta Quest 2, Quest 3, Quest 3S, and Quest Pro right now. It’s a standalone game, so if you already own the flatscreen version and want to play in VR, you’ll need to buy this special version, according to an FAQ.

    Here are pictures of the see-through Steam Frame and Steam Controller you can’t buy.

    Valve showed The Verge versions of its Steam Frame VR headset and Steam Controller with clear plastic shells, and we put together a photo gallery so you can look at them, too. Perhaps Valve will release something like them as limited editions, like it did with the Steam Deck OLED.

    The Steam Frame can track the Steam Controller’s position.

    In another good tidbit about Valve’s new hardware from Gamers Nexus, the channel says that the controller has LED markers that can be detected by the Frame. Pretty cool!
