Steam Frame is a standalone virtual reality headset designed primarily for low-latency streaming of player's Steam Library from a PC, while also supporting standalone experiences for both VR and Non-VR. The headset integrates high-resolution displays, inside-out tracking, integrated audio, and full gamepad input into a self-contained system running SteamOS. By maintaining full compatibility with SteamVR and OpenXR, Steam Frame provides a consistent development target across streamed PC VR content and on-device applications. Supported execution models include Windows and Linux PC titles as well as native ARM64 and Android-based APKs.

Steam no longer supports Google Analytics. On July 1 2023, Google replaced their third-party traffic reporting system (Universal Analytics) with their own, called Google Analytics 4 (GA4). Over time, we've come to realize that Google's tracking solutions don't align well with our approach to customer privacy, and the migration to GA4 felt like the right time to end our support and focus instead on building the most useful parts of aggregated reporting into Steam itself. We've introduced new Steamworks tools to help you understand your store traffic while continuing to protect player privacy. …
