Don’t worry, Valve will be blowing up shit next year.
I'm really hoping someone other than meta will make something competitive again, I've been waiting to get back into VR. I went through 2 vive base stations presumably due to cold temperatures, and now have given up on VR until something better comes out (even though I love it and am entirely convinced it will be huge).
Patents published in 2022 showed Valve are definitely working on an untethered VR headset, new VR controllers, and a Steam Controller 2. Rumours are they went into mass production in Nov 2024 so we could be near an announcement in the next few months. Typical Valve style, however, is to announce it out of the blue.
But given the success of the Steam Deck, and the money they’ve funnelled into Arch Linux support for ARM processors, I’m pretty confident these aren’t just rumours.
PLEASE! Yes yes yes!
