TL;DR: Valve launched the Steam Frame VR headset with an Arm-based Snapdragon chip, aiming to run Half-Life: Alyx natively and streamed from PC. The new hardware features a "Frame Verified" status for optimized games, while rumors suggest two upcoming Half-Life titles supporting PC and VR cooperative play.

I hope my old PSVR model (the second revision that came for the PS4) is the one that causes dizziness (thus blocks the enjoyment) whenever I try VR gaming... Because it is a technology that I truly don't want to miss 😅

I know there are some workarounds to get your VR legs and such, but I honestly think I am broken.

    In case you haven't tried, the 2 biggest "vr hacks" for motion sickness are:

    Have a small circular rug that's a different texture than the ground its on, so you can feel when you step off of it.

    And have a single, small, directional fan aimed at you (not overhead.)

    Those 2 help keep you grounded and oriented without taking you out of immersion.

    But, some games just suck and the locomotion isn't smooth, and can't be saved.
