Valve S Next Headset Is Apparently Taking The Oculus Quest Route And Won T Require A Pc

Hints that the company that owns Steam is working on this new hardware initially came from YouTuber Brad Lynch who found multiple references in Valve’s SteamVR code “Deckard” – a nice, sci-fi codename for the theoretical headset. Lynch noted that “Valve [has] been retooling the Deckard to work with Steam VR for the past year,” and that the various files discovered in the Steam VR database – ranging from input profile references to proof of concept files – hint at a more standalone design than what we’ve seen from Valve in the past.
