Valve Steam Frame OS update boosts battery life
Valve has released an update for its Steam Frame VR headset, rolling out SteamOS 0.4.3, which promises up to 12% improved battery life. The gain comes from software optimizations specific to the headset’s Arm-based Snapdragon processor. Real-world results will vary based on use, but you’ll likely notice somewhat longer play sessions between charges. The update also adds an optional single-eye tracking feature and brings several minor fixes.
- SteamOS 0.4.3 targets Arm-based Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 hardware
- Battery life may be up to 12% longer, depending on usage
- Single-eye tracking option now available in settings
- Minor bug fixes for focus and controller bindings included
- OS still in pre-1.0 stages, with more updates expected
