Steam VR Fest Launches With Thousands of VR Demos and Discounts

Steam VR Fest is live starting today July 18th and runs till July 25th at 10 AM Pacific

Valve's first-ever Steam VR Fest is now taking place in honor of the constantly growing and exciting world of virtual reality. Much like the Steam Next Fest, the VR Fest is looking to highlight new VR games by offering thousands of discounts and demos for upcoming VR titles.

This includes all VR headsets, so it doesn't matter if you're using the Oculus Quest, Rift, Valve Index, or any other PC-compatible headsets. However, the games do need to be compatible with the VR headset you're using.

But don't worry about not being able to find compatible games, because there are thousands of VR titles up for grabs. Additionally, a lot of games have free demos, so you can try them out before purchasing. This means that until the sale ends on the 28th, you have the next seven days to try out as many VR games as you want and grab them at a discounted price. So no rush, there's lots of time.
