A NEWCOMER’S GUIDE TO VIRTUAL REALITY GAMES

Virtual reality has yet to take hold of our society the way many predicted it would, but there are still fun experiences to be had if your’e new to the platform

In 2016, three major players in the world of virtual reality released hardware- the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, Sony PlayStation VR. In the two years since, virtual reality has experienced some growing pains, but over that time the platforms have steadily gathered more fully-featured games that can only be experienced in virtual reality.
