Nuked Hey there, my tech-loving followers! It’s your funny guy, Nuked, here with some exciting news from Valve. Brace yourselves because SteamVR 2.0 is officially out now! Can you believe it? Valve surprised us all with the beta release last month, and now they’ve dropped the full update on us.
Valve made the big announcement in a Steam post, declaring that they’re bringing all the new and exciting stuff from the Steam platform into VR. They’re on a mission to unify the Steam ecosystem for all users, providing a consistent experience across devices. Plus, this update will pave the way for faster and more frequent additions of new features in the future.
This release has been a long time in the making, my friends. Valve teased us back in their 2019 year-in-review post, mentioning that they were hard at work on this update. And now, here we are, finally getting a taste of what SteamVR 2.0 has to offer.
So, what can you expect from this shiny new version? Well, let me give you a quick rundown of Valve’s highlights:
- Most of the current features of Steam and Steam Deck are now part of SteamVR
- An updated keyboard with support for dual-cursor typing, new languages, emojis, and themes
- Integration of Steam Chat and Voice Chat
- An improved Store that puts new and popular VR releases front and center
- Easy access to Steam notifications
Exciting stuff, right? But here’s the kicker – Valve dropped this bombshell without any mention of new hardware. Rumor has it that they’re secretly working on a new VR headset, but we’re still in the dark about its form and features. However, a mysterious gadget did pass radio certification in South Korea last month, hinting at a possible hardware announcement in the near future.
And wait, there’s more! Valve has apparently been busy developing a standalone VR headset codenamed “Deckard.” If this bad boy hits the market, it would give Meta’s standalone Quest VR headsets a run for their money.
So, my friends, keep your eyes peeled for any further updates from Valve. With SteamVR 2.0 now in our hands, who knows what other surprises they have up their sleeves? Stay tuned and keep embracing the wonderful world of virtual reality!
That’s all for now. Catch you on the flip side!
