I landed on the waiting list like many of you, but that’s okay, it gives me more time to read feedback and experiences from folks who buy one in the first round.
While we wait, what games do you actually want to play on it when you get yours? Please specify if it’s a VR title or non-VR title (unless it’s a super popular one like Hades or Portal that everyone will recognize).
I went through the Steam store “great on frame” listings as well as the overall VR listings, and IMO it’s quite a mixed bag. There’s fairly good variety but many of the “overwhelmingly positive” titles are relatively old, like even 2017-2022. And many of the newer titles don’t seem to have a lot of players yet.
Of course, if you have no intention of ever buying a Frame or want to discourage others or even hype some other device, please just refrain from commenting. This simply isn’t the thread for you.

I’ve wanted to play Thrill of The Fight and Dragon Fist like forever. Hopefully there will be some kind of reasonable full body tracking solution for the Frame at some point, because I think that playing a Kung Fu game with full body tracking (punches and kicks) would be amazing.
I would also like to try Dirt Rally in VR, as well as Kayak VR: Mirage because it looks amazing and relaxing. I also just found out about Ocean Rift. That looks good, but I hope that it works with the Frame.
Other than that, some AR games on the Quest look amazing and I hope that they eventually make their way to the Frame.

I somehow overlooked those first two, but Underdogs looks like another fighting game I wanna try.
Racing sounds fun, and I have a copy of Dirt Rally I’ve never played (but enjoyed Dirt 1-3). I’d buy Rally 2.0 but it looks like it still requires a constant net connection for singleplayer, yuck.

Those first two seem like must haves if you are at all interested in (realistic?) fighting in VR. TTOTF for boxing (including both multiplayer and passthrough so you can see your opponent in your own room) and Dragon Fist for punching and kicking (with full body tracking if you have the hardware for that). Underdogs is supposed to be great, but I’m not a fan of the whole mecha concept.
Oh, I did not realize that about Dirt Rally 2.0! I’m glad I haven’t bought it yet then. Yikes. I have Dirt Rally 1.0 already.
I think flight sims would be another great use if you’re into that. I hear lots of good things about VTOL VR.
It just seems like there are so many good VR games that I’m often surprised when I hear people say that there are no games.
