Steam VR sale potentially starting soon
According to a reddit post, supposedly developers have been invited to participate in an upcoming Steam VR game sale starting September 14th and ending September 21st. Of course, you can immediately jump to conclusions and shout “Wow! This means the Steam Frame is soon!” Good on you if you think that. You can also believe “This is total bullshit and probably fake.” And I wouldn’t fault you for that either. Either way, if this does end up being true, it’s your chance to save on some more VR games for when that Frame eventually does come out. I’m only covering this because they’re really isn’t much else that happened this week. The crooked mods of r/SteamFrame kept the post up, so at least someone believes it.
COOL THING: Beat Saber is now Frame Verified!
As of this week, Beat Saber is now officially verified for Standalone play on Steam Frame! If you remember a while back, it got hit with the “unsupported” tag for whatever reason. I’ve heard it was unsupported because the default graphics configuration was too high for the Frame to run well, and you had to manually turn the graphics settings down. I’ve also heard there could have been some weird classic Linux audio issue. It was marked as “default graphics configuration didn’t perform well” officially, so I’m more inclined to believe the former. Either way, whatever issue it was has been fixed, and we can now confirm Beat Saver runs great on Frame! Side note, as of this writing, there are now 99 Frame Verified games on Steam. I wonder what will be the 100th…? Place your bets now!
TLDR: Supposed Steam sale for VR game starting soon, Beat Saber is standalone verified. The Frame is still not out yet.
21 days until Summer ends.
