VR headsets are only as good as the experiences they offer. Lose yourself in the best VR Games in th<\/b>
\nThe concept of virtual reality (VR) has been around for several decades, but, until recently, even the best VR headsets were not very accessible to consumers from either a cost or usability standpoint. Apart from a few cool demos, VR seemed like vaporware. Now, however, headsets are becoming less reliant on external hardware and developers are creating first-party games that take full advantage of the medium. Fans of nearly every genre have excellent choices and should find at least a few games of interest in our roundup. VR Hardware for Gaming
Our list of VR games covers the top titles for the HTC Vive, Oculus Quest, Oculus Rift S (the successor to the Oculus Rift), PlayStation VR, and Windows Mixed Reality headsets. Many of these devices (and the games themselves) have gotten cheaper in the past couple of years, which makes them a more easily justifiable purchase.
If you choose the HTC Vive, Oculus Rift S, the upcoming Valve Index, or a Windows Mixed Reality headset, keep in mind that you also need a powerful gaming PC to push pixels to the headset displays. For the best possible experience, make sure to find systems equipped with speedy CPUs, top-of-the-line GPUs, and a sufficient number of USB ports for connecting all these peripherals. PS4 players are lucky that they don\u2019t have to worry about specs; any PS4 or PS4 Pro will work with the PlayStation VR headset. All that said, new VR products, such as the Oculus Quest, are self-contained units. What’s Not Here?
The standalone Oculus GO headset is a less pricey entry into the VR fray, but we don\u2019t specifically cover compatible experiences for that system here. Other VR and augmented reality (AR) platforms, such as Microsoft\u2019s HoloLens, Google Daydream, and Samsung Gear VR are not included in this list either, as those headsets are intended for a different audience altogether. HoloLens, for example, has more professional and commercial applications. Nintendo Switch has also made a push for virtual reality with its recent Labo VR Kit, but that platform is also beyond the scope of this roundup.
