According to UploadVR, Valve released the September Steam hardware and software survey report. The report showed that the proportion of Meta Quest 2 decreased to 41.39% (-7.86%), which is the latest survey data in the month after the price of Quest 2 rose.
Steam hardware and software survey is an optional service that can collect current Steam user data. Given that it does not cover all users, it is impossible to determine that the report results reflect the usage of Steam VR headsets and the overall performance of the VR market. However, since Meta, Valve and other companies have not released official headset sales data to the public, Steam hardware and software surveys are still the most reliable reference indicators at present.
However, in recent months, there were abnormal data in Steam hardware and software surveys, although Valve corrected the data last month and said, "The survey data has its own natural changes every month, so it is expected that volatility in statistics is expected."
Before March 2020, the survey relied on a headset connected via USB when sampling, but Valve then changed it to scan the SteamVR logs for the past month.
According to the September Steam hardware and software survey, the share of Steam VR users has dropped slightly, from 2.05% to 2.03%, and more obviously, the proportion of Quest 2 has dropped by 7.86%, which is the biggest fluctuation of the headset to date. Prior to that, Meta raised the Quest 2 price by $100 in August.
It is expected that Quest 2, the October Steam hardware and software survey, will usher in its first important competitor in two years: PICO 4, which adopts Pancake folding optical path design, with a balanced front and rear greatly improving wear comfort; 4K+ super-visual screen and 105° super-view angle bring users a shocking picture performance; 6DoF space head hand positioning allows the device to accurately identify and "speak wherever it points"; the matching HyperSense vibration handle can bring realistic and agile vibration feedback; Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 chip will still make the device perform stronger and the experience is smoother. It has a thinner, lighter design and excellent specifications than its predecessor and the Quest 2.
