Last week Valve confirmed a partnership with LG that will see the electronics manufacturer making a VR headset that's compatible with Steam VR. The new headset will follow the HTC Vive, which came to market last year, as only the second made in collaboration with the studio.
What's more, the company is planning on more of these partnerships, and recently confirmed to Eurogamer that there are currently more than 500 Steam tracking licensees developing peripherals, and that includes more headsets.
While Valve is staying away from producing the tech themselves, they are helping other companies by sharing their VR-related research and development with anyone who wants it.
"Steam VR is completely free. Same with Steam tracking," Valve's Doug Lombardi said before confirming that "there are other HMD [head-mounted displays] in development."
Why are they sharing that research? Well, it's not out of the kindness of their hearts. The company is actually working on three VR games, and as Lombardi says: "We just think it's going to lift up the VR experiences that are being made."
