My Take<\/p>\n
The list may seem damning at first blush; many of the top titles around the 6\u201310+ year-old age range are still dominating years on. Still, if you look at the flatscreen version of the chart<\/a>, it\u2019s essentially the same story. Old (but gold) games persist while some new viral games break through.<\/p>\n What is disheartening though is there weren\u2019t nearly as many of those breakthrough VR games this past year. Only the one, mentioned above.<\/p>\n Still, it\u2019s a sufficiently wide smattering of genres. The big social VR apps are all there, as well as a lucky dip of some great single-player games too, such as Half-Life: Alyx, Skyrim VR, The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners, and Arizona Sunshine Remake and Arizona Sunshine II.<\/p>\n Mods and ports are also doing some heavy lifting as well, which really is one the best things about owning a VR-ready rig. Skyrim VR, Fallout 4 VR, Assetto Corsa, Half-Life 2 VR Mod, and\u00a0VTOL VR Mod Loader\u00a0suggest that PC VR users are regularly engaging in big, moddable games that feature high replayability.<\/p>\n Maybe you still don\u2019t believe me that PC VR isn\u2019t fizzling out, but there is clear proof it\u2019s actually growing<\/a>, and not shrinking. Monthly connected headsets on Steam are going up year-over-year, in part thanks to Quest\u2019s ability to play PC VR games in addition to native platform titles.<\/p>\n In the near future, I\u2019d also like to see whether Valve\u2019s forthcoming Steam Frame<\/a> can move the needle in PC VR game adoption\u2014maybe not to the degree that Steam Deck did with PC gaming\u2014but it stands a fair chance of making some sort of difference.<\/p>\n As a standalone VR headset with the ability to download and play many Steam games natively, it may be aiming to hit the sweet spot for PC and PC VR gaming, so much so that it kicks off a hybrid VR headset hardware race\u2014basically Valve\u2019s only reason for putting out hardware in the first place. As always, I\u2019ll be keeping my eyes peeled on the monthly Steam hardware survey<\/a> to see how Steam Frame stacks up to the current reigning champ: Quest 3.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Steam has unveiled its mega list of the most played PC VR games of 2025.
