E3 just ended, and we found it exciting because several publishers have announced their plans to release VR AAA games. Bethesda, for example, announced at E3 that they will release VR versions of both Fallout 4 and Doom.

We’ve talked about virtual reality before (see: Why Virtual Reality Is About To Change The World) and also introduced some Mainstream VR gadgets, but, first and foremost, you’ll need to upgrade your PC so that it can handle VR output. For now, most virtual reality content requires at least an NVIDIA GTX 1070 or higher graphics card and an Intel Core i5 processor.

So, if It's about time to do a fully upgrade of your gaming rig, you might want to include some VR-capable hardware that can provide both the performance and stability in your shopping list. 

Once your HMD and PC system are ready, all that’s left are some quality games to immerse yourself in.

 If you are not satisfied with current content or games, here are some titles you can look into. 

Raw Data

Essentially a wave shooter game title that supports multiplayer mode, allowing you to battle alongside your friends on Steam. Taking into consideration its comfort and immersion, we surely believe it will be one of VR’s greatest FPS games.

Star Trek: Bridge Crew

Teamwork is everything as you try to survive together! When playing this game, each one of the four players has a specific job to do in the USS Enterprise bridge. It offers a great social experience in addition to the actual VR itself.
