Man, gotta love the tech rumor mill—it’s like passing notes in class but way nerdier. So, here’s the scoop. Valve’s apparently brewing up an XR headset—been doing it for a while now. Who’s behind the whispering? Stan Larroque from Lynx. This guy popped up on X (yeah, not Twitter, X, because branding or whatever) and dropped hints about Valve’s new gadget. Says it’s got a design that’s “quite amazing.” Bold claim, huh?
Stan’s company, Lynx, tossed out the R-1 headset into the world, and here’s the kicker—no NDAs to keep mouths shut here. Valve’s latest gizmo, codenamed Deckard (cool name, right?), isn’t trying to steal Lynx’s thunder. They’re vibing in different market zones or something. But here’s the twist: Stan thinks they might share some suppliers. Smells like a bit of a supply chain oops.
Anyway, Stan’s like, “If my stuff leaked, I’d be ticked too, so shhh.” Guess he’s pumped for new tech, which is refreshing. Oh, there’s a nifty image floating around from a 2022 Valve patent—some secret agent-level stuff, ha. Stan heard that this Deckard thing is penciled in for a 2026 release, though some say it might drop in late 2025 with a $1,200 tag. Pricey, right?
Valve’s being all hush-hush as usual, but whispers about Deckard aren’t new—folks have been digging since 2021. Leak central over here, with prototypes and 3D models slipping out—one’s even called ‘Roy’. Last month, tech analyst Brad Lynch talked about Valve gearing up production due to some gear import for headset parts. Keep the secrets coming, Brad.
Honestly, we’re in a race here. Meta’s plotting new headsets for 2026, Samsung’s Project Moohan is around the corner for late 2025, and Apple—well, who knows what they’re up to. It’s like waiting for your crush to text back. Oh, and Samsung’s project will apparently bring Android’s app store to XR. Mind blown.
Valve loves to keep it low-key, so we might just see a surprise link pop up on Steam. My eyes are peeled till then. Fingers crossed for some good tech drama!
