Standalone VR headset? Valve’s new hardware passed certification in South Korea

Valve’s hardware ambitions did not end with the emergence of Steam Deck. In the past few years, V has been hoping to launch a standalone VR headset, a new Steam controller, and of course the new Steam Deck. .

According to TheVerge, V now has a new piece of hardware to be launched. South Korea's National Radio Research Institute recently certified Valve as a "low-power wireless device" under the name "RC-V1V-1030."

We don’t know anything else about this device other than it uses 5GHz WiFi.

In addition, this device has not yet appeared in the FCC database in the United States, nor in the Bluetooth SIG.

However, there are other hints in Valve's own code - Phoronix's Michael Larabel discovered that Valve has added some changes around the Steam Deck's Van Gogh APU, including the mysterious product name "Galileo" and product family "Sephiroth" .

Valve’s Greg Coomer said in 2021 that SteamDeck’s existing APUs might find a role in standalone VR headsets. However, the new Steam controller won't have the entire Steam Deck chip built into it, so this possibility seems less likely.
