Virtual reality enthusiasts know that Steam is a great place to enjoy cutting edge immersive experiences. In addition, I am thrilled to announce that Steam content will also run on Windows Mixed Reality headsets. Microsoft was frustratingly light on details in fact, this is the extent of what the company said about it in a blog post: In one fell swoop, Microsoft significantly multiplied its available content offerings.

The compatibility with Steam, though, is the most important development yet, and it’s hard to overstate its importance. That’s a sign of high quality gaming to come on Microsoft’s nascent platform. We should also point out that all three of those titles looked and felt great when we blasted through them on an Acer HMD, with Windows Mixed Reality controllers, running on a Razer Blade Pro. That alone is a big deal, however those games have made it to the platform, because it means that third-party content creators aren’t ignoring Windows Mixed Reality-or at least, the presence of these three bigger names is meant to indicate as such. First of all, as we discovered at our recent hands on of the new Windows Mixed Reality motion controllers, some of the premiere titles in VR are playable on WMR headsets, including Space Pirate Trainer, Superhot, and Arizona Sunshine.
