This is the first Steam survey to include Steam Frame, Valve’s standalone VR headset which natively supports SteamOS. You can learn all about Steam Frame in our deep dive review here.

The opt-in, randomized monthly survey now shows Steam Frame at fifth place on the platform, making for 5.49% of all headsets in use on Steam.

Considering Steam Frame is still heavily supply constrained, as shipments now reach into 2027, immediately taking fifth place is a surprisingly fair result.

In contrast, Valve Index only managed to post a 1.46% share of all connected headsets in its first month on the Steam Hardware Survey.

Some of this could be explained by Quest 2’s sizeable loss of 3.57% since the September survey, which could suggest some portion of Quest 2 users upgraded to Frame.
