Valve Launches SteamVR, HTC Vive Begins Shipping

Valve today launches SteamVR, featuring dozens of VR titles from developers around the world. The launch comes the same day HTV began shipment of the Vive, the first complete SteamVR system.

Similar to other areas of Steam, the SteamVR pages showcase dozens of titles and experiences for VR enthusiasts to check out. Some for sale, some free. Some are games, some are something new and totally different. Each has its own page to provide information on the title through images, trailers, and more.

Also today, HTC begins shipment of its Vive VR system. Priced at $799, the Vive is the first complete VR solution, including wireless VR controllers, room scale movement, and an HMD featuring a built in camera. As an added bonus, and for a limited time, those who purchase a Vive will also receive a free copy of Tilt Brush, theBlu, and Fantastic Contraption.

Valve also launched “The Lab,” its free VR game compilation, and a host of new trailers and information via SteamVR today.
