I landed on the waiting list like many of you, but that's okay, it gives me more time to read feedback and experiences from folks who buy one in the first round.

While we wait, what games do you actually want to play on the Frame when you get yours? Please specify if it's a VR title or non-VR title (unless it's a super popular one like Hades or Portal that everyone will recognize).

I went through the Steam store "great on frame" listings as well as the overall VR listings, and IMO it's quite a mixed bag. There's fairly good variety but many of the "overwhelmingly positive" titles are relatively old, like even 2017-2022. And many of the newer titles don't seem to have a lot of players yet.

Of course, if you have no intention of ever buying a Frame or want to discourage others or even hype some other device, please just refrain from commenting. This simply isn't the thread for you.

I have been building a backlog of both VR-native and VR-moddable games. I already own an Index and a Quest 3S. The latter I bought second-hand on the cheap and it really sold me on SteamVR streaming over WiFi. I have been waiting for the Frame in order to get a "modern VR" experience (wireless, pancake lenses, higher resolution, inside-out tracking, foveated rendering).

Native

  • Metro Awakening
  • Arizona Sunshine 2
  • The 7th Guest VR
  • TaVRn's Takedown
  • FlatOut 4 VR
  • G-Rebels

Moddable

  • Resident Evil 7 & 8
  • Dead Island 2
  • Ready or Not
  • Nuclear Option

And then there are the oldies but goodies. I'll likely return to Half-Life: Alyx for a 4th playthrough, and also have another go at Moss Book I & II. BeamNG.drive will definitely be back on the menu for various driving shenanigans, and Dungeons of Eternity for some multiplayer dungeon crawling.
