SteamOS 0.5.8 Beta Brings Room View Streaming to Steam Frame

OFFICIAL Written by GPN · Nov 7, 2026, 5:00 PM ET · Steam Frame · Tech

SteamOS 0.5.8 is out now on Steam Frame's Beta channel, and it is still in testing. Players can opt in from Settings, then System, then System Update Channel.

Camera Passthrough / Room View

PC Streaming now supports Room View, so remote desktop and game-theater content stays visible while camera passthrough is on. OpenXR mixed-reality PC VR games can now blend VR content with passthrough, with Valve giving X-Plane 12 as the example, though that needs the SteamVR beta on PC as well.

General

The overlay's render quality is now locked to Low, with the option hidden, fixing problems that showed up on Ultra. Eye-tracking self-calibration is improved, and a low-end gamma fix clears up inconsistencies between eyes on some headsets. A permission issue that stopped WebXR working in Chrome v157 is fixed.

Developers

OpenXR games streamed from PC can now use XR_ENVIRONMENT_BLEND_MODE_ALPHA_BLEND.

SteamVR moves to version 2.19.2 with the update.
