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	Price	Notes
VRChat	Free+	Currently the largest social VR game.
NEOS	Free	Lots of cool features, confusing UI and an absolute lack of documentation. Also furries ~~and shitcoins~~.
ChilloutVR	Free+	Early access, small community.
Lavender	~~Free~~Dead	VERY early access, dead community, aimless developer. Actually dead.

Shooters

Multiplayer
Name	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".
Vox Machinae	$24.99	Multiplayer mecha masher.

Singleplayer
Name	Price	Notes
Half-Life Alyx	$59.99	Full-length game that makes heavy use of finger tracking. Graphically-intensive.
SUPERHOT	$59.99	Abstract shooter with time dickery: Time moves when you do.
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.

Rhythm Games


Name	Supports	Price	Notes
Beat Saber		$29.99	Slice up boxes while dodging shit, to music. Most popular.

Spooky


Name	Supports	Price	Notes
Phasmophobia		$13.99	NEXT ON DISCOVERY CHANNEL'S GHOST HUNTERS
Ghost Hunters Corp		$17.99	Ghost hunting, but you also have to purge the ghost. Still catching up to Phasmo.
