VR Data: Steam Headset Shares and Market Trends

1 article

VR Data is where A-Rage VR tracks the numbers behind virtual reality, starting with the monthly Steam Hardware Survey and the headset shares it reports for PC VR players. We explain what each month's figures measure, where the survey falls short, and what the shifts mean for players choosing a headset, building a PC VR setup or following the market.

What you'll find here

Monthly Steam Survey Breakdowns

Each new Steam Hardware Survey release gets a plain rundown of which VR headsets gained or lost share among Steam users that month.

Headset Trends Over Time

We follow brands and models across many months so that short-term noise isn't mistaken for a real change in what people play on.

Methodology and Caveats Explained

Valve's survey is opt-in and sampled, so we spell out what it can and cannot tell you before you rely on any single figure.

Wider VR Data Stories

Beyond Steam, we cover usage, sales and platform data as it becomes public, and we always grade each source by how reliable it is.
