As in 2024, the best games may be the ones which are kept a secret until a few weeks before launch, so much more will surely arrive!

Somehow I misunderstood Assetto Corsa Evo to be some expansion or DLC, but it looks like a full game release. I've added the game to the above list - the 100GB sim launches January 16 together with Arken Age.
Assetto Corsa Evo is early access - the full release is expected Fall 2025.
I guess this will be the first AAA PCVR game in 2025 🤔

This looks very promising too, if the YouTuber can be trusted? 🤔
That said, Assetto Corsa devs have many years of experience making great VR experiences - and they may indeed have the skills to make the best ever VR driving experience. We'll see 🙂

First impressions - I'll make a separate thread when the game launches if I think the quality of the game is good enough:

The YouTubers seem excited for Arken Age - maybe this is indeed the next big game in VR 🤔 🤓
To avoid spoilers - I've watched none of the below vids, but have a go if you're interested 🙂 I've only selected vids from YouTubers I consider trustworthy-ish 😎

Pirates VR: Jolly Roger launched yesterday - more info and impressions here:
- and another game launched too, namely SickWay VR, and for now the game does have some nice ratings, more than 90% are positive:

I just bought the game and will test it later - seems the old native Oculus drivers may be supported 🤔
No one says "Oculus PCVR" these days - but using the Oculus name is a true sign of quality to me 🤓

Arken Age is out find more info about the game here:
Assetto Corsa EVO is also out, but the VR version seems undercooked, I'd wait for more optimization. Ratings are low, especially for the VR version, so beware:

Wallace and Gromit in The Great Getaway is soon arriving on Steam:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3411260/Wallace__Gromit_in_The_Grand_Getaway/
This is the Quest trailer - not the PCVR trailer:
Looks like a 1:1 Quest port according to the specs (and screenshots are shown from the Quest version on Steam) - but if the backgrounds are 2D (and/or low-poly with limited rendering distance), the game may not need a fast gpu:
It's normal for 1:1 Quest ports to only need a GTX 970 - which still is more than twice as fast as the Quest 3.
Being a fan of the franchise, Wallace and Gromit in The Great Getaway was one game I was sad to see only on Quest. I keep my fingers crossed for a great and fun game for high-end VR. Being able to super-sample the game to 8k res and still get solid 90+ fps would not be bad too I guess 🤓

Aces of Thunder is starting to look awesome. This new trailer showing WW1 aircrafts was just released - the game should arrive this year and soon 🙂

Cradle of Sins is both singleplayer and multiplayer, and this trailer was just released:
I probably should have included the game in the first post in this thread, but it has been in development for probably 7 years or more, and I was not sure we'd see the game in 2025.
Btw, this is this first glimpse of the game in early 2019 - soon 6 years ago:
