Norberto Fleites: Valve’s new VR game, Half-Life: Alyx, releases March 23, 2020. Will it revolutionize VR similar to how Half-Life 1 and 2 changed FPS's forever?
Some of the best VR experiences are in deep sci-fi settings, so here's the top picks for games in that genre available now.

In Steam's latest look at what's happening on its platform, it seems the most played VR games on Steam in 2025 are old ones.

TheGamer sat down with City 1, the talented devs behind Half-Life: Alyx NoVR, to find out more about their new indie FPS Chemical-Burn.
After all of the PS Studio games that released on Steam, I’m baffled Sony hasn’t gotten Alyx onto the PSVR2.
There's nothing revolutionary(this is not a knock on Valve or HL: Alyx). These things that HL: Alyx are implementing have been demo'd, tested, and experimented in bits and pieces as far back as the Oculus Development Kit 1 & 2. I know, because I had the DV Kit 2 and played a ton of those experimental games and experiences. What HL: Alyx represents is a major company creating a full fledged game and putting a lot of those different cool VR elements together in an iconic franchise. This is the VR killer app a lot of us have been waiting for
No, but it's a great reason to dip your toes. Here's hoping it comes to PS5.
Probably not a lot of it still looks janky and awkward but it’ll still be a fun game to play.
