VR Headset Usage On Steam Once Again Jumps To Anomalous All Time High
The Steam Hardware Survey shows a near quadrupling of VR users in July – but this data is almost certainly erroneous.
Companies like Meta, Valve, & HTC don’t reveal hardware sales figures. The Steam Hardware Survey is the most reliable indicator of PC VR’s adoption – or at least was until recently. The survey is offered to a random sample of Steam’s userbase each month. If you choose to accept, it uploads your PC specifications and peripherals. Before March 2020 the survey relied on headsets being connected via USB at the time of sampling, but Valve changed it to scan your SteamVR logs from the past month.
