Steam Frame - What games do you want to play on it? (leminal.space)

I landed on the waiting list like many of you, but that's okay, it gives me more time to read feedback and experiences from folks who buy one in the first round.

While we wait, what games do you actually want to play on the Frame when you get yours? Please specify if it's a VR title or non-VR title (unless it's a super popular one like Hades or Portal that everyone will recognize).

I went through the Steam store "great on frame" listings as well as the overall VR listings, and IMO it's quite a mixed bag. There's fairly good variety but many of the "overwhelmingly positive" titles are relatively old, like even 2017-2022. And many of the newer titles don't seem to have a lot of players yet.

Of course, if you have no intention of ever buying a Frame or want to discourage others or even hype some other device, please just refrain from commenting. This simply isn't the thread for you.

It's definitely the wired lighthouse that's the problem, for me. And the PCVR requirement instead of option.

My brother in law bought a system, I don't remember which, vive maybe? Somewhere around covid. He used it a bit, and then all the parts sat in his basement in a pile. For years. I guess it just wasn't for him. He lives several minutes from me, and repeatedly offered it to me, to at least set up and use long term, but I never had a good place to set it all up, and then when I did move into a new place, I still didn't want the hassle.

That sounds crazy I know. Maybe even privileged, but like, I just didn't want to mess with it.

But now I'll have the option to use the frame whenever and wherever I am. Wire free. Lighthouse free. PC free. Meta free.

This is very very common with VR haha. Mostly because it has very few practical uses and is cumbersome to start up.
