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.

    Tbh, the only vr games that I’ve actually played have been skyrimvr and vrchat, and a tiny bit of subnautica with mods to improve the vr. I might play around with new ones a bit, but what I mostly want it for is to more conveniently hang out/try game worlds with friends of mine who are on VRC a lot.

    My current headset can do it, but since switching over to linux it takes a significant amount of hassle to reboot to windows, probably let it update because I otherwise never use that partition, launch both steamVR and the pico link drivers and connect up all the cables and confirm that it’s all working, just to have to reboot back to linux when I’m done with it.

    That’s not enough to spend money on new hardware by itself, but a close friend of mine has been wanting to try VR and hasn’t gotten fed up with windows like I have, so I offered to give him my current headset when something that works with linux more smoothly comes out, which I figure the frame is probably the best bet for.
