The most interesting games may be the surprises we get through the year. In early 2023, I had no idea we'd get The 7th Guest VR or Arizona Sunshine 2 🙂 Can't wait for the surprises in 2024! 🙂

Mfw when Pirates VR: Jolly Roger drops: 

[RuneSR2]

Bootstrap Island is probably the game I look forward to the most - I've tried the demo and it looks great - performance is great-ish too, but it is a demanding game. Having two pirate games is a luxury - I hope that'll push the Jolly Roger devs a bit, lol. Still, Jolly Rogers looks like a game needing 80 Valve employees to complete it over 4 years, like Alyx, lol, I would not be surprised if the quality of the final game does not match the trailer. But - then again -  this gem surprised me a lot - close my favorite game in 2023, even if it's limited - have you tried it?

Btw, it takes some time to make a thread like this one - if I remember some more games, I might add them while it's still 2023 😉 I just added MADiSON VR - out Feb 20.

Just added Max Mustard and changed the Umami Grove trailer to the lastest one.

Just added Thrasher from the makers of Thumper.

Border Bots VR from Team17 is also arriving this year - February 8:

While the game does look good, it has no dynamic shadows, which is a red flag to me. I normally do not buy VR games with no proper lighting and shadows, as this easily breaks immersion and presence to me - and looks too low-end. This is a Quest port, and interesting if it's enhanced enough for high-end VR.  

Find the game here:

Who said PCVR is dead, lol!  Lots to look forward to imho.  Thanks for sharing all these mate and cheers..

[RuneSR2]

Note that Low-Fi is indeed very much alive - and devs will make the game for PSVR2, PCVR and also 2D. Devs say there will be no Quest port, so Low-Fi is for the high-end only:

"Oh, and before you say "Why not port it to Quest", put down the pipe. I understand that you're not a developer, but take my word for it, that's not happening. Not with this budget(or lack thereof), this sized team , or this generation of devices."

[RuneSR2]

My thoughts too, actually at launch many of the games in the first post are PCVR exclusives (12-13 out of 23).

The PSVR2 is a big help for getting high-end VR experiences though, and great if PSVR2 using 60 fps with reprojections can run PCVR games - as long as we keep getting the premium 90+ fps versions for PCVR 🙂

I thought we lost VR support for Le Mans Ultimate - but we did not, it has been confirmed by the devs:

https://steamcommunity.com/app/2399420/discussions/0/3821914054520617172/

And the game still has a VR tag on the Steam page, but hidden, you have to click on the "+" icon to see all tags. 

This is best news today - I just added the game in the main post, Le Mans Ultimate VR then marks the second AAA game for 2024 - last year we only got one, namely F1 2023. Kinda looking surprisingly great for 2024!

- This looks very VR-ish to me:
