Starting today SteamVR is officially accessible using Windows Mixed Reality (aka Windows VR) headsets like the Acer, HP, Lenovo, and others. Previously the Windows VR headsets could only access and launch apps that were natively available within the Windows store.
Last week we got the chance to try out this functionality for ourselves at an event where we went hands-on with the Samsung Odyssey Windows VR headset and came away impressed. Playing The Lab’s Longbow game I was able to easily move around the environment, shoot stick figures, as well as knock and loose arrows with ease. Support isn’t 100% across all of Steam yet, and it won’t be for some time, but it’s a step in the right direction. You can see what it’s like to launch into SteamVR right here:
