Steam Frame vs Meta Quest 3: Which VR Headset Is Actually Better?

Описание: Is the Steam Frame the real alternative to the Meta Quest 3, or are we looking at VR’s next big “almost”?

In this video, I break down Steam Frame vs Meta Quest 3 from the perspective of someone who lives in VR—not just specs, but experience, accessibility, and what this means for the future of PCVR.

I’ve been using the Quest since the early days—starting with the Oculus Go, then the Quest 1, and now the Quest 3. During the pandemic, VR became more than gaming for me. It was escape, connection, and fear—all wrapped into one. From horror experiences to PCVR games like DOOM VFR and Propagation VR, I fell back in love with gaming in a way I hadn’t felt since I was a kid.

As a Mac user, PCVR was never simple. Services like Plutosphere opened the door—until they disappeared. Now many Quest users are left wondering:
👉 Is PCVR even worth it without buying an expensive gaming PC?
👉 Is there finally an accessible alternative to Meta?

That’s where the Steam Frame enters the conversation.

Rather than framing this as Steam vs Meta, I explore why the Steam Frame could be a crucial addition to the VR ecosystem, offering competition, innovation, and new possibilities—especially for players who want deeper worlds, better storytelling, and more immersive experiences.

This isn’t about hate, fanboy wars, or spec obsession—it’s about the future of VR and why having real alternatives to Meta is a good thing for all of us.
