Reports Suggest Valve Index's Successor Will Be a Standalone VR Headset


Thanks to a recent datamine, information's been discovered suggesting that the Valve Index successor is a standalone VR headset, similar to Oculus Quest 2.

Speaking in a new YouTube video, Brad "SadlyItsBradley" Lynch explained how they've found a driver file referred to by codename "Deckard", letting users play VR without a PC. During this deep-dive, he advised that a folder called "VRLink" was spotted, containing “an entire library of stuff, related to a Wi-Fi driver or device."
