TL;DR · WeSearch summary

He spent 15 years editing the likes of CNET, Gizmodo, and Engadget.Today, Valve is launching its first headset since 2019 — the new Steam Frame — while dodging our questions about whether it’ll ever make another VR game to go with it. It even supports all the mods and extra levels that fans have built! My mods and saves were waiting for me the moment I fired it up.The port certainly has compromises in graphical fidelity compared to running it on my desktop, but it manages to feel like a full PC VR game on the Frame in a way that native Meta Quest titles never really have, and without removing any objects or assets.
