Ok, lets clear a bit of confusion here.
1. Game is NOT available through Oculus store. In Oculus Home settings, you need to enable "Unknown sources" (I think thats what it is called)

2. With Oculus Home running, you launch Steam, and you need to install and setup/calibrate SteamVR. It got a pretty funny Portal2-themed tutorial too.

3. Now you can purchase and install Skyrim VR through your Steam account. You can also play other VR titles via SteamVR. Most of those are same as on Oculus though.

Have done so myself and it worked just fine. Though a few mods I applied did uncomfortably mess with my framerate, give me stuttering, ect.

That's probably the fault of my lower end PC more than anything. I need to upgrade from my GTX 1060.

Works great, use vortex for mods. Best VR game I have played so far, to bad I already played the original for too many hours.

Rift users pretty much are trained to ask since it's Steam, not the Oculus store. Only Vive is really supported natively on 100% of games. Rift is catching up now, but for awhile there it was sketchy.

If a game is available through oculus and steam i buy it through steam. If i ever switch to vive ill still have the games and my saved data. On oculus if i have to reinstall i need to first find and copy my saved data.

Wow, that's actually a really good idea. I don't plan on sticking with the VIVE forever either. I'm sure there will be better versions of other hardware coming out in the future. At least with Steam you know you'll still have the games.

It works good. The only downside of all Vive to Oculus game ports is the mediocre touch controller support. I still have to find a game that lets you remap the buttons to better suit the Oculus Touch system and most of them are a pain to handle because of the odd button configuration (the worst is grab triggers are toggle and not hold mode so that you will mess a lot with powers and mod menu popping up during battles by mistake)). There's a modder guy who found a way to remap the buttons to better suit the oculus touch, but that mod causes some issues.

But hey we finally have Skyrim on the Oculus! Man I did put like 65 mods in and the game looks AMAZING!

If only I can get fallout 4 to work as good but Im tired of messing around with that. I know a dozen websites that give instructions to remap the controls but I just dont want to try anymore
