Valve’s Deckard will arrive before year’s end, Chinese analysts claim

A Chinese XR research group says mass production of Valve's standalone Deckard headset has begun, with 400,000-600,000 units expected annually and a possible holiday-season ship window.

A Chinese analyst group called the XR Research Institute says Valve‘s long-awaited standalone VR headset, Deckard, will ship during the holiday season after mass production reportedly began. Upload VR reports indicating that the expected annual run rate is approximately 400,000 to 600,000 units.

Deckard is billed as a standalone device that will not need a PC to run, unlike the Valve Index. Rumour traffic has been steady. One leak suggested ‘Roy’ controllers for Deckard were being tooled last year, with the claim shared on social media by a user reporting the work in progress here. Another report said Valve had been importing VR manufacturing equipment into the US, a detail covered in a separate article about leaked shipping manifests.

A few sources think the product could land under the name “Steam Frame” instead of Deckard, after a trademark filing for Steam Frame and a social post that noted SteamVR code renaming references to “Frames” here.

Two practical points explain the interest. The Index was excellent at launch but is starting to show its age. Valve already learned a lot building the Steam Deck, and Deckard could be aimed at the mainstream market. Analysts note that the 400,000-600,000 annual figure is closer to high-end device volumes, such as Apple Vision Pro, rather than cheaper headsets. Pricing will matter if Valve wants to match the Index-class build quality while targeting broader sales. Starting mass production now would make a holiday release window plausible.
