VR games get the spotlight next week with Steam VR Fest. From July 18 to July 25, VR games of all shapes and realities are getting discounts and demos.

If your VR headset has been packed away for the last few months, now’s the perfect time to dust it off. Even if you’ve already played the big titles, next week’s the perfect chance to get out of your comfort zone. There are plenty of VR games out there that do some interesting
