Useful Tools

  • XS Overlay - Movable in-game desktop panes, a wristwatch, and more
  • OVR Toolkit - The shittier alternative to XSOverlay, with poorer performance, UI, and stability.
  • Stoplight - Shows you how tangled up your cord is (this is available in SteamVR now).
  • OpenVR Advanced Settings - Provides power-user access to lots of SteamVR settings, and includes the powerful Playspace Mover utility.

Games

Social Games

Name Supports Price Notes
VRChat Free+ Currently the largest social VR game. Not well-designed or well-implemented. Community fleeing due to addition of EAC.
NEOS Free Lots of cool features, confusing UI and an absolute lack of documentation. Also furries and shitcoinslol that burned good.
ChilloutVR Free+ Early access, exploding community.
Lavender FreeDead VERY early access, dead community, aimless developer. Actually dead.

Shooters

Multiplayer
Name Supports Price Notes
Pavlov $24.99 Third-party CS:GO built from the ground up for VR. Massively popular.
Contractors $19.99 Multiplayer team-based shooter. Be an OPERATOR (with quest-grade graphics).
Payday 2 VR $9.99+DLC 4-player co-op heist simulator. Lots of DLC. VR requires a "mod".

BONEWORKS $29.99 Physics puzzle shooter where you get stuck in a simulation or something.
BONELAB $39.99 Sequel to BONEWORKS. Kinda. More of an engine demo than anything.

Spooky

Name Supports Price Notes
Phasmophobia $13.99 NEXT ON DISCOVERY CHANNEL'S GHOST HUNTERS
