Vertigo 2 does not support the Rifts, playable demo July 16, final game 2020. Looks quite awesome - I don't think this is one of the 3 Valve games though:

Doubtful. Their 3 games will have their name on it. They've been working on them since 2016 after all. This does look pretty cool though. 

Aperture Hand Lab and Vertigo 2 do not support Rifts, but they do support Vive, maybe that's the start of a trend, but I think Gabe said that the 3 Valve games would work on the Rifts too...

Did they developer for Vertigo 2 state no support for Rift? A lot of times it gets added later and there might be an oculus Home version in the works. Seems to be pretty early in the project since it has a release of 2020. Hand labs is a Valve demo so that one wouldn't surprise me if it doesn't get added. They did add The Lab though.

Vertigo 2 is apparently made by a (previous?) Valve employee. It says here that Index, Vive and WMR HMDs are supported, so it's strange that there're no Rifts:

Of course you could be right and Rifts might be added later. Apparantly Vertigo 2 has been "built by the ground up for Index". More here:

Hand Lab does.

But not officially according to the SteamVR website - but I know the devs explained how you could get it working using Touch (Reddit Oculus post yesterday).

Just saw that Vertigo trailer.. I know I'm a picky old fart, but visually it was disappointing to me.
Stuff like that stone/lava monster simply z-buffer clipping into the ground. It's 2019 for crying out loud, and this is supposed to wow people?

Yea I saw that too. Gave me some World of Warcraft flashbacks lol. I never played Vertigo 1 but I've seen it hyped. Anyone here play it? 

The Vertigo Dev answered the question here - 

Some through the lens shots - 





Actually encouraged by the colors shown here and the SDE looks minimal.

Also it has been confirmed that Lone Echo works with Index through Re-Vive. Just has a menu problem and you have to use the left controller.
