List Of All Popular Flatscreen Games Playable In VR
Virtual Reality has become more and more accessible over the years. However, there is a clear lack of big AAA games that can be played in VR. Fortunately, some game developers and modders have provided VR support for many popular flatscreen games to alleviate this problem.
Unfortunately, only a handful of popular flatscreen games have official VR support. However, modders have changed the situation by making VR mods for various flatscreen games. There’s even a highly advanced mod in the works that will make all Unreal Engine games playable in VR.
It is hard to keep track of all games that can be played in VR. That’s why we have made a list of all flatscreen games with official VR support and VR mods.

Most AAA game developers are focused on making flatscreen VR games. That’s why there are not a lot of good quality VR games that will incentivize a user to invest in a VR headset. However, we can enjoy many AAA games in VR for free, thanks to online modding communities.
However, there are not a lot of big-budget VR-only games that have come out in recent years. The last one to come out was Half-Life: Alyx, and it’s been two years since then. Fortunately, many new VR headsets are coming to the market shortly. And just like any new platform, they will come with new VR games close to thier launch.
