If you have an HTC Vive and not a Rift then you can use a ‘ hack‘ called Revive to run Oculus Rift games on the Vive. In case you missed it, our Setup the Oculus Rift Guide has instructions on setting up Steam VR. As always with competing platforms, make sure to check games hosted on both to see who has the better price and experience review. Epic Games is a more recent platform developed as competition for Steam not as much junk to sift through quite yet, but the platform is constantly shifting to find its niche.
Make sure you check out reviews before buying anything. There are even some titles on Steam that claim to support Oculus and/or Touch but are so buggy they hardly work at all. Steam has a bigger list of apps and games, but as usual there’s a lot of junk. While the Oculus store has an excellent catalog nowadays you will also want to download and set up Steam VR and Epic Games.
But there’s no sense in missing all the awesome experiences. Well maybe you can, it is rather beautiful in there. You can’t just hang out in the Oculus Home all day.
