Yesterday was a big day for VR at GDC with Oculus announcing their line-up but we now have a better idea of what’s going to be available on the Vive.
The Vive’s approach is slightly different to Oculus and they are shying away from the word “exclusive” according to a comment on Fortune from Valve’s Faliszek.
“We have no exclusives. We don’t think that’s a good thing for the industry, especially in VR where we’re starting out with a promise of presence after so many years. We want to do everything we can to make sure VR succeeds, regardless of the platform. I don’t think a customer ever thinks a platform-exclusive game is a good thing.”
With that in mind, we know that around fifty releases will be playable for the Vive when it launches on 5 April, or just after launch, and thirty eight of these are listed below. Note not all of these are games.
