The "Quest-killer" is almost here. Steam Frame vs Quest 3
While I've been talking your ears off about the new Steam Controller and Steam Machine, a weird update just dropped for the Valve Steam Frame. Qualcomm just went live with a dedicated landing page for the device, and in the world of hardware tech, that usually means the release date is right around the corner.

In this video, I’m doing a "vibe check" & deep dive in the Steam frame, sharing my pre-release thoughts, hopes, and concerns for the Steam Frame. We're breaking down the beefy specs (Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, 16GB RAM), comparing it to my current daily driver, the Meta Quest 3, and talking about why Valve's "open" ecosystem is about to make Meta very nervous.
In this video:
The Qualcomm Leak: What the new landing page tells us.
Specs Breakdown: Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 vs. XR2 Gen 2.
SteamOS on ARM: How FEX-Emu and Proton bring your library to your face.
Hardware Wins: TMR Sticks, microSD expansion, and dedicated 6GHz streaming.
The Meta Problem: Why I’m ready to cut ties with the "walled garden."
