Meta Quest 2 (formerly oculus quest 2) has long been the most popular VR headset option on Steam. Representing just under 50% of SteamVR users last month, standalone Meta headsets dropped significantly in September. However, Valve’s recent hardware review means things aren’t so clear cut.

all september oculus quest 2 The number of Steam users decreased by 7.86%, which represents 41.39% of the SteamVR user base. Despite this drop, it is still well ahead of Valve’s index, which retains its second place with a gain of 1.77% benefiting 17.21% of players.

Both the Oculus Rift S and the original Rift saw increases of 2.88% and 2.42%, respectively. This is an unusually large jump for two discontinued headsets and could be the result of potential bugs in Valve’s tracking. Otherwise, HTC Vive shows a marginal gain in fourth place with 7.07%.

It should be noted that these are not the numbers we originally saw in Steam’s August 2022 hardware review. Valve first saw an 8.28% drop in Quest 2’s user count, but updated those stats after its release. initial, changing them to 0.29%. increase. This meant that Quest 2 users made up 49.25% of all SteamVR players. As such, the Quest 2 remained dominant as it continued to compete for the title of best VR headset.

In a statement to UploadVR, Valve explains the reasons behind the stats update:

“The team survey shows natural fluctuations in response rates from month to month, so some variability in statistics should be expected. However, the May/July jumps and the additional category in August forced us to take a closer look, and we’ve now fixed some issues with data collection and analysis, as well as the results page for the August survey. . We hope to get more accurate results in the future.”

We also have a much more detailed breakdown of VR headsets in Valve’s latest survey, with previous reports ranking 15.07% of VR headsets in the “Other” collective entry. The same category now represents only 1.35% of devices used, and the figures for HTC Vive Pro and Pico Neo 3 are now clearer.

Still, this drop in user numbers may worry Meta after the Quest 2 price increase, especially considering the fierce competition from Pico 4. But since the launch of Project Cambria (Meta Quest Pro) is imminent and Oculus Quest 3 is under development. , VR enthusiasts can look forward to a truly next-gen experience.
