About This Dataset
Most Used VR Headsets on Steam
Valve's monthly hardware survey records which headset SteamVR users have connected. This chart shows the most common headsets in the August 2026 survey as a share of surveyed VR users, not of all Steam users.
Analysis
The Oculus Quest 2 leads on 26.97%, just ahead of the Meta Quest 3 on 26.01% - the top two are separated by 0.96 of a percentage point. Meta's headsets together hold 71.8% of the surveyed VR machines, so this is close to a single-vendor market. Valve's own Valve Index HMD is third on 11.07%, the only headset in the top four not built by Meta.
