By The Steam Frame has had another busy week. Beat Saber has picked up a rare discount; two of Valve’s headset accessory kits have sold out in the United States; first-batch buyers are finally getting their headsets; and a new VR bundle offers an easy way to fill out a SteamVR library.
Beat Saber is 25% off
Beat Saber, one of the most popular VR games on Steam, is currently 25% off, bringing the price down from $19.99 to $14.99. The rhythm game rarely goes on sale, so this is a good time to grab it for new Steam Frame owners or anyone building up a VR catalogue.
Steam Frame accessory kits sell out
Anyone planning to pick up extra accessories for the Steam Frame may have to wait. The Steam Frame Ergonomic Accessories Kit ($59) is now listed as out of stock in the United States, and the Accessory Replacement Kit has sold out as well. The power adapter is still available for now, but it remains to be seen how long that lasts.
This is unwelcome news for people only now buying a Steam Frame who wanted these add-ons alongside it. Hopefully Valve restocks the kits in time for the next batch of headsets.
First-batch Steam Frames are arriving
On a brighter note, buyers who ordered on day one and landed in the first batch are now receiving their Steam Frames. After all the delays, there were real doubts that the headset would ship this year at all, so seeing it actually arrive in people’s homes is a welcome milestone.
Digiphile VR bundle: seven games for $26
For those looking to build a SteamVR library, Digiphile has brought back its VR Games Showcase collection to mark the Steam Frame launch. It bundles seven games for $26, against a combined value of around $202:
- Into the Radius 2
- Arizona Sunshine VR 2
- Bootstrap Island
- CONVRGENCE
- UNDERDOGS
- UNLOOP
- EXD – Extra Dimensional
Part of the proceeds go to SpecialEffect, a UK charity that helps people with physical disabilities play games. The collection is listed as available until September 23, or while supplies last, so anyone interested should move quickly and grab it here.
Wrap-up
Between the Beat Saber discount and the Digiphile bundle, it is a good week to stock up on VR games, even if accessory supply is tight. With first-batch headsets now in players’ hands, the Steam Frame is finally a reality, and the next restock of accessory kits will be worth watching.
