Nearly ten months after the launch of Meta Quest 3, Valve Index is still the second most used SteamVR headset:

Quest 2: 39.66 percent Valve Index: 16.10 percent Quest 3: 15.65 percent Quest 3, released in October 2023, took third place in January 2024 with a 14% share of SteamVR headset usage, but has only grown slightly since then. Six months later, Valve Index is still defending its position. An impressive feat! The headset celebrated its fifth birthday in June and is still sold by Valve (the Valve Index VR kit costs twice as much as Quest 3). No successor has been announced or hinted at by Valve.

In general, not much has happened with the SteamVR stats since we last wrote about them in May. Will the release of the PC adapter for Playstation VR 2 next week bring some change? We are curious to see how Sony’s headset will fare in the SteamVR stats. The same goes for the budget headset Meta Quest 3S, which is expected to be released later this year.

SteamVR users as a percentage of the total Steam user base has dropped from 1.92 to 1.73 percent since April.

    Alyx and Boneworks etc show that it is by far the best engine for VR fps.

    Boneworks uses Unity.

      Hmm, interesting. So Unity can be made to be non janky in VR. Thanks for the correction.
