Video games take you to virtual worlds for adventures, challenges and stories. Virtual Reality games extend this experience by putting the world right in front of your eyes and then matching your motions and head movements with the game.
VR is an experience that's hard to describe. Putting the headset on is like stepping into another room. This not only makes existing games more immersive but also opens the door to new types of experiences.
While this can be quite expensive, it has become more affordable over the years. The main options for VR are as follows:
- Oculus Quest 2 - Is self-contained so doesn't need lots of wires or setting up. You can also purchase a (costly) cable to tether the Quest to a PC for more demanding games.
- HTC's Vive Cosmos - is a PC-tethered system that supports motion controls. It supports games on SteamVR as well as its own Viveport online store.
- Valve Index - Is a high-end PC-tethered system with more advanced controllers.
- PlayStation VR - Uses PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5 hardware to offer a wide range of interesting highly polished experiences.
