Valve's Own VR Headset Is 1 in 244 — NX Tech Tips SHORT 📱 (Nov 2)

Valve just posted its hardware survey — and their own VR headset is one in two hundred forty-four.

1. Valve's own VR headset: 1 in 244. The October 2026 Steam Hardware Survey puts Windows 11 at 72.51% of surveyed systems — and Valve's own Steam Frame at 0.41% of VR headsets on Steam, about one in two hundred forty-four. They own the store — and the emptiest shelf. 📰 https://shattered.io/steam-hardware-survey-october-2026-windows-11-72-51-linux-3-95-2026/ · https://vr.org/steam-frame-release-date

2. The $50,000 bounty rat. A hacker used AI to find a PS5 hypervisor exploit, privately reported it to Sony, and cashed a $50,000 bounty.
