Steam Frame costs $1,299 and streams your desktop PC

Valve's new wearable PC costs up to $1,299 and can stream your desktop across multiple virtual screens.

Valve has released the Steam Frame, a wearable PC designed primarily for gaming rather than virtual reality. The Steam Frame costs $1,059 for 256GB storage or $1,299 for 1TB.

The Steam Frame is two to three times pricier than comparable Meta headsets. The device can stream your desktop PC and display it across multiple virtual screens.

It weighs just over one pound and feels remarkably comfortable after hours of wear. The hardware is in early beta, with crashes, audio glitches and occasional power loss.

Reviewers still find it engaging and fun to use. It can run flat Steam games as well as VR titles.
