Headset Compatibility with games VR

[pompeiipat]

I recently bought the Vive XR Elite but I already had a problem with Skyrim being compatible with my controllers and launching the game. I felt lucky I got a refund and don't want to push my luck with trial and error with any game I would like to buy. I haven't seen any stats on any games that include anything else much but Xbox controllers. Trial and error can't be the only way is it?

The oldest vr headsets are a little less compatible with the latest games.

Other than that, it should be fine.

Rather beware of games remade for vr, and those that got a new version for vr, like skyrim.
These games can be forced to work, but often it requires extra steps, or is not fully satisfying.
It's better to choose games written for vr from the beginning.


Pay special attention to whether the game supports VR controllers.


It is best to buy a vr headset that is characterized by high compatibility with vr games, unfortunately you chose otherwise. So you will have a bit more difficult.
But there is no tragedy, it could have been much worse.

Devs try to be clear about what they've tested (usually only meta at launch) on their store page. Check the forum about other controllers. On new releases you may be the first vive XR elite user to try and post. A lot of devs welcome user assistance beta testing non-meta controllers. Refund requests within 2 weeks and under 2 hours playtime will be accepted.

I tried the Quest 3, but it was like strapping a boat anchor on my head. The only good thing about the XR Elite is it feels lighter and more balanced which is the only good thing I can say about it.

Full PC VR sets, i.e. those that have a cable attached to the glasses, are usually lighter and more comfortable.

The Quest is a phone VR, with the added option of a PC VR, although it works pretty well, it's not the same.

You can try to balance the weight front-back, it gives good results.
