  I won the lottery and am in the reservation queue for the Steam Frame, but… honestly, I've been going over the reviews, and they're all pretty clear: this is a slightly improved Meta Quest 3, at a considerably higher price point, its main selling point (that I would pay extra for) is that it has nothing to do with the Meta ecosystem. But there's still no killer app. You can play Half-Life Alyx, which is basically a tech demo, and when you tire of that you can play Beat Saber. And there's not much else that's really VR native. Elite: Dangerous in VR was a wild trip back in 2021, before Frontier dropped VR support in order to focus on turning the game into an FPS for their own inscrutable reasons. Every other game with VR support, as opposed to made-for-VR, does it badly. No Man's Sky is a particularly tragic example of that, because it could have been so good if they hadn't gotten the controls so horribly wrong. And your options for actual made-for-VR games are basically just Half-Life Alyx and Beat Saber. So meh, maybe I'll just wait until that situation changes.
