Steam Frame reservations open at $1,059 with shipping starting September 18th, Valve confirms a standalone Half-Life: Alyx port, Polyarc closes, Apple cuts around 100 Vision Pro roles, and a Neural Band app turns a Mac into an XR input target.
Today's XR, computer graphics, and game development news roundup: a Steam Frame unboxing leaks with new hardware details, EssilorLuxottica quietly absorbed Lynx after liquidation, a 50 GB/s Neural Engine erratum gets fixed, and Meta's Project Phoenix shows up in firmware.
Steam Frame is days from launch, Meta's next headset just surfaced in Horizon OS firmware, and in the same stretch XR lost Polyarc, Lynx and Breachers: Outbreak. XR does not have a hardware problem: it has a distribution problem, and the studios are the ones paying for it.
