Valve showing off new Hardware during GDC including 'SteamVR'

Information technology looks like 'SteamVR' volition be revealed at GDC. Equally we mentioned a couple of weeks dorsum Valve is going to show off Steam Machines at GDC this year. However new information in the form of a press release hints at Valve showing off "Steam Machines with the last Steam Controller, new living room devices, and a previously-unannounced SteamVR hardware system." next week during GDC.

Valve hints at new 'SteamVR' hardware system

1 tin can just assume that the 'new living room devices' would refer to Valve producing their own Steam Machines. Until at present Valve'south stance on producing their own hardware, be it Steam Machines or a VR Headset has pretty much always been "We are going to make that conclusion every bit we go along", which was exactly what Gabe Newell said last yr during CES, when they revealed several Steam Machines from a slew of different manufacturers.

"Steam is bringing the all-time games and user-generated content to exciting new destinations. At GDC 2022, we'll exist giving demos of the refined Steam Controller, new living room devices, and a previously-unannounced SteamVR hardware system.

With the introduction of SteamVR hardware, Valve is actively seeking VR content creators. Are you a developer or publisher interested in experiencing the new SteamVR hardware? We'll exist giving scheduled VR demos during the week of GDC, March 4th-sixth, 2022, at Moscone Center in San Francisco."

Sign Ups for the VR-demo during GDC

Every bit for the new VR hardware, at one point in time Valve was actually backing and working with Oculus Rift as "their VR solution", but after Oculus got bought out by Facebook for two Billion $, Valve decided to break that tie. If they are in fact working on something cool, and hey they have been in the by, then GDC might exist quite interesting.

Dorsum in 2022 Valve had a VR image, and there were rumors of "Table-summit Dota two matches", in which you spectated the game by looking at an Arena in front of y'all on a table, too as an bodily life-sized Dota 2 VR experience, where y'all would stand around in a lane and watch the carnage unfold as the heroes fought, like in a normal match, with the exception of yous being just a spectator.

Oh and on another note, since Valve are showing more than iii items during GDC, Half-Life iii confirmed? I can promise right, in whatsoever case if it turns out that Steam is producing their own Steam Machines + SteamVR they could potentially sell quite a lot of them, I just hope they are not exclusively locking them together. Either mode we shall encounter what Valve has to show us, come up GDC 2022 which takes place on the 4-6th of March.
