      a whole three (3) features! 😱
      that definitely sounds like tons to me

      turning off the /s: at least new chat tools sounds neat, even if they spent most of the article saying what SteamVR is, and not mentioning at all about any specifics beyond what you quoted and them changing the storefront to prioritize VR content while in SteamVR

    This makes me more confident that their next hardware release will be a standalone/PC hybrid VR headset to compete with the quest 2/3.

        will still mean everything runs on steamvr (which makes porn apps a bit risky)

        Please tell me there’s a solution 🥺

          I never looked into it but what is the risk!? Like can you just use another account like for normal non VR games? Or this about something else?

        As long as it’s wireless it doesn’t need to be standalone. How many VR users take their HMD outside their home?

      if deckard turns out to be inside out tracked with a depth sensor to scan the playspace instead of having to manually set it like how quest 3 is said to have soon I will scream

    I mainly like that it shows non vr games in the recent games now. It was an absolute pain to navigate and find a flat game, even if I had just played it a minute earlier.

        My main use case is that it lets me play laying down in my bed. It’s pretty great for my back.

      Probably in 10 years when 4k per eye displays cost $2.50 and Wifi 9 can transmit DisplayPort 3 with low latency.

    Steam vs Apple future is becoming apparent. This is the kind of competition this market needs.

      If Apple actually wants to compete in affordable VR gaming maybe.

        Seemingly apple doesn’t want VR gaming at all, so that should be an easy win
