10 Reviews: Best VR for Steam (Apr 2024)

Dell Visor is the computer hardware company’s first foray into the Virtual Reality realm. It has a 2880 x 1440 resolution and a 110-degree field of view. Its cable management and flip-top headset basically translate to the simplicity of usage and adjustments through a tightening knob on the back. You can even flip up the Visor anytime you need a break without having to remove and re-adjust it.

Kids love it, easy set up, cheaper than others, and not nauseating. Works well with windows mixed reality and steam vr.

Oculus Quest 2 is a low-cost, high-resolution, wireless VR headset. It is SteamVR compatible, meaning you can play any Steam game on it. This model is entirely wireless and comes with two Oculus Touch controllers, one for each hand. You’ll be able to pick up tools, open drawers, drive vehicles, and generally immerse yourself in virtual worlds using them. This is a stand-alone virtual reality experience that allows you to explore in any setting.

This is my second Oculus, my brother and i both have one now and get to play together.

The Oculus Rift is among the first Steam compatible VR headsets that were widely supported by Steam VR. To offer crisp image quality, you get dual lenses with a combined resolution of 2160 x 1200 pixels. These VR headsets’ controls are also extremely straightforward and simple to use. As the sensor can monitor a wide area of up to 5 feet x 7 feet dimensions, you can play a variety of games that demand great mobility.

What can I say? It's amazing, the games are limitless, the comfortability is nice, it works on steam with other games that aren't oculus made. And it's so fun. Definitely an experience.

Lenovo Explorer is a Mixed Reality headset that has two external cameras. The first thing that stands out about this headset is its lightweight (380 grams). You get ahead strap with rear adjustments, and the headset is connected to the head strap through a hinge. Lenovo Explorer has a resolution of 1440 x 1440 pixels in both eyes and the additional foam cushioning surrounding the lenses effectively conceals the light leak.

This mixed reality headset is better than expected. considering the price this is a steal. controls are easy and you can link it to steam vr to play games.

The HTC Vive is among the top Virtual Reality headsets available. It has an out-of-the-box design with numerous motion sensors and is compatible with both Steam VR and Windows Mixed Reality. To get high-resolution picture quality with a 2160 x 2100-pixel resolution OLED display, you’ll need some serious technology. It recommends utilizing at least an Intel i5 4590 processor to fully enjoy the HTC Vive experience.

Better than I expected. Would buy it again in a heartbeat. Especially if you game on Steam. Would recommend immediately buying "Space Pirate Trainer" and "Audio Shield" game for it. You wont be disappointed.

The front of this VR headset is extremely sleek and flat, with just the Oculus logo. The system requires an Intel Core i5 4590 or later version, as well as an NVIDIA GTX 970 or AMD Radeon R9 290 or later version, to run. This system also needs at least 8 Gigabytes of RAM, an HDMI 1.3 port, and four USB ports to operate. The best part is, these VR headsets’ controls are super straightforward and simple to use.

My husband and son fight over being able to use this. Son uses it with Steam games and my husband uses it with his flight simulator. Very realistic!!

Is it your thing to be comfy? What about a high-end headset with wireless capabilities? The HTC Vive Pro 2 is your best buddy in that case. This headset falls just short of the Pimax 8K X in terms of resolution and FOV, yet it still outperforms comparable headsets. The resolution is extremely remarkable at 4896 x 2448, and the horizontal field of view is 120 degrees. If you plan on spending a lot of time in VR, this is the headset for you.

This complete Vive Cosmos Elite VR system includes a wireless controller and headset with a play space of up to 160 square feet. It promises to offer maximum accuracy with more flexibility of movement, as well as the ability to track behind the head and do crisscross motions. Because of its flip-up design, you can easily go from playing VR games to other compatible applications and back to gaming without having to remove the headset.

The Samsung HMD Odyssey Plus has an integrated AKG spatial audio system for a truly immersive gaming experience. For convenience, the volume control and Inter-Pupillary Distance adjustment are placed underneath the headset. Odyssey Plus offers a fully wire-free experience. It also alleviates the strain on your face by counterbalancing everything with the head strap.

I can play all the steam / occulus stuff with no hassle. everything plays well and works well. aiming a bow and firing in the lab is great. now i have to decide which games to buy: alyx or robo recall and beat saber. 1st world problems! excellent and affordable!

Do you want to speak about a headset with insane specs? The Pimax 8K X has a resolution of 7680×2160 and a field of view of 200 degrees. This is essentially the same field of view as human eyesight! After using the Pimax 8K X, you’ll find it difficult to go back to any other headset since it seems like you’re looking into a tiny box with a small FOV. This headset takes advantage of Steam Lighthouse tracking, which is the best on the market.

8KX is just amazing and the support is excellent.
