Spigen’s cushioned controller grips for Valve’s unannounced Steam Frame headset have appeared at online retailers, adding to a growing list of third-party accessories despite no launch date or official price.
Amazon and Walmart listings already include head straps, multiple cases and VR gun accessories, signaling that an accessory ecosystem is forming ahead of the headset’s debut.
Valve still has not used its 30th anniversary to reveal timing for the device, leaving the retailer listings as the clearest sign yet that a release may be approaching.
Price expectations remain high: analysts see the Steam Frame at $1,000 or more, citing Qualcomm chip cost increases, worsening memory supply pressure and reported specs of 16GB RAM with 256GB to 1TB storage.
