AND it'll be a self-contained headset. Want to play Beat Saber? Just put it on and hit the power button, no computer needed.

Want to play Alyx with an actually decent framerate? Just power on your main gaming computer and plug in the wireless dongle, and you can leverage the beefier GPU.

I'm excited for it.

and plug in the wireless dongle

Depending on your setup, not even that. It sounds like if your wifi hardware is good enough, you'll be able to play over that as well, eliminating even the line of sight requirement between PC and headset
