In the most reductive of terms, VR is simply strapping a headset to your face. Inside, small high-definition screens show you a computer generated 3D game. The position of your head — sometimes your body and hands — translate into the game.
Thanks to the power of contemporary smartphones, to experience virtual reality has become as simple as downloading an app and fixing it to your head with an inexpensive headset.
However, there are other systems and means to enjoy more advanced VR games and experiences. Some sophisticated, requiring a little tech savvy, others less so and practically plug-and-play.
So without further ado, we’ve trawled the digital storefronts and strapped ourselves in to bring you a list of most intriguing, exciting and sometimes pant-wettingly frightening VR games on the market.
And as if that weren’t enough, we’ve also split them out by their respective platforms (from PC, to console and smartphone) and detailed the tech and what you need to get going with the best VR games yourself. Enjoy!
