A BIG update is the ability to play wirelessly through a dedicated WiFi 6e router. I can send you the model to buy. And also UEVR allows you to play unreal engine 4 or 5 games.

Games & Experiences
Disclaimer: I would recommend you play these in order from beginner to masterpieces. This will allow you to naturally move through the development of VR, prevent motion sickness, get you used to standing while gaming, and the controls. Resist jumping right into the masterpieces. Although tempting some people have the older titles impact them less because Half Life is so good. Boneworks/Walking Dead feel dated compared to HL, so play those earlier on.
If you wear glasses IRL I would order your lenses immediately as they take a month or so to get here. The Index is backordered 8 weeks. So order it immediately. (if that’s the headset you go with)
