The gaming company said rising global RAM and storage costs forced the price of its new virtual reality headset higher than originally planned.

A Verge review describes nearly three weeks of testing Valve's new wearable PC, which starts at $1,059 and is positioned as more than a VR headset.

The standalone headset, which can run and stream both flat and VR games, will ship with a copy of Half-Life: Alyx, according to The Verge.

BBC's Tom Gerken tests Valve's new Steam Frame headset, calling it impressive despite a price tag exceeding £1,000.

The technology publication's review examines whether the $1,049 device can reignite interest in virtual reality technology.
