TL;DR

Valve stopped production of the Index VR headset. Remaining stock is priced at $399.

Valve discontinued the Index VR headset after seven years on the market. The move follows the recent launch of the Steam Frame.

The headset previously held a higher price point. Valve now sells remaining units for $399. This price cut applies to existing stock as the product reaches its end of life.

The Index was a staple for PC VR users for nearly a decade. Its removal from the active lineup signals a shift in Valve's hardware strategy following the introduction of the Frame. Users looking for the Index will have to rely on dwindling official inventory or the used market.
