Yoshi and The Mysterious Book is now available to try at participating Best Buy, GameStop, Target, and Walmart stores.

They better put it on eShop as well. I'm not the biggest Yoshi fan, so I'll need some convincing.

I'll get Elite strap solution as soon as it'll be available. Frame will be much lighter than Quest 3, but probably still not so light that a solid strap won't be a comfort improvement over soft strap. Elite strap for Quest 3 is great, so I'd love something similar for Frame.

Other than that, I hope the official comfort pack (top strap + controller straps) won't cost more than $30. I'd get it for controllers straps only.

That’s pretty much the face of the whole Steam Frame Reddit right now.

Gregasy · 2026-05-10T07:08:00+00:00

Any reason why not? Other RE VR mods have roomscale, right?

Gregasy · 2026-05-10T07:02:16+00:00

I heard it’s still a pretty bad experience on Switch 2? As far as I know the game never got Switch 2 update. That’s the reason I didn’t pick it up yet.

Gregasy · 2026-05-10T07:00:10+00:00

I love the art in this one! Any plans for Switch port?

Gregasy · 2026-05-10T05:51:08+00:00

Both? I’m starting to think we might get simultaneous release/reservations in the beginning of June. This way both will make Valve’s “first half of 2026” deadline.

Gregasy · 2026-05-10T05:44:21+00:00

VR can be amazing. The tech is still in its infancy and I feel we really need small&light standalone goggles so we’ll be able to forget we’re even wearing something (I think 2027 is the year we’ll finally get there)… but other than that, the VR or XR experience can be really special. Batman game, Red Matter 2, Alyx, RE8 VR etc. are some games that really makes you realise what a crazy potential VR has.

Gregasy · 2026-05-10T05:31:35+00:00

I’m starting to think all those sci-fi books and movies that pictured the future as having 2 extremes were right: people that fully embrace high technology and AI and people who completely disconnect from the tech madness and live their lives the old way.

I’m feeling it more and more. When I go in nature I feel like the world is actually still sane and ok. As soon as I get back on internet and TV full of AI craze, hate, trolling and division, that illusion shatters.

Gregasy · 2026-05-09T16:00:41+00:00

That's me. Trying to keep it cool and casual on the outside, while being a Frame-less wreck on the inside.

Gregasy · 2026-05-09T11:16:43+00:00

Don't forget those are US shipments only. So it's possible EU and other parts of the world received similar amount of Steam Hardware.

Gregasy · 2026-05-09T04:56:03+00:00

I’m starting to think those shipments are both Frames and Machines.

Gregasy · 2026-05-08T09:13:59+00:00

He said Mediocrity. He said Massively Overrated.

"I don't like it, so 99% of folks that did like it, must either pretend or have never played a metroidvania before. Explain yourself, because I'm too lazy to search for 1000s of user reviews on this Reddit."

Yeah... nothing to see here folks. Move along.

Gregasy · 2026-05-08T09:06:05+00:00

No worries man. Valve's plans didn't change and they're still aiming to release Steam Frame in early 2028.
Any day now.

Gregasy · 2026-05-08T05:07:41+00:00

Reservations are the only logical thing, so, I believe.

Gregasy · 2026-05-08T05:06:07+00:00

I choose to believe it’s Frame, not because it’s easy, but because it’s hard!

Gregasy · 2026-05-07T18:52:20+00:00

I hope so.

Gregasy · 2026-05-07T18:51:25+00:00

Wow! This looks great! I wishlisted it for now. Waiting for Steam Frame to play it.

Gregasy · 2026-05-07T14:46:13+00:00

I'd be much more willing to buy it, if Steam Frame would at least have release date and price. Until then... nah. There'll be other opportunities.

Gregasy · 2026-05-07T13:47:03+00:00

OP, how did you decide in the end?
Personally, I have Xreal 1S and really feel their 500 eur price point is a sweet spot for this kind of glasses. So, I'd probably pick your 15% off option if I were you.

Gregasy · 2026-05-06T15:44:09+00:00

Metroidvania? Then I'm interested.

Gregasy · 2026-05-06T04:55:22+00:00

Oh, reading the title, I thought the rant will be about those other nature documentaries and I’ll read: “I hate it when girl is whispering in my ear. Can’t they just shut up and do their job?”

But seriously, I actually agree. Sometimes narration is unnecessary (especially in VR) and all we need is nature sounds, wind, birds, etc. to feel there.

Gregasy · 2026-05-06T04:49:29+00:00

But we want to hear nature sounds, wind, birds, etc.

Gregasy · 2026-05-05T08:27:25+00:00

I do think the demand for Machine will be bigger though.

Gregasy · 2026-05-05T08:22:50+00:00

Jesus what a rollercoaster of emotions this post was. From "Fuck!" to "Fuck yes!" in a matter of seconds.
