If for whatever reason you don't have or can't use VR but want to play through the story, there's a NoVR mod so you don't need a headset.

This is $3 less than the previous lowest price ever we've seen on SD.

You do not need a beefy setup for this. I played it 5 years ago with a GTX 1080 as my GPU. Granted, I had to set it to Medium graphics settings, but it did not chug or stutter.

PCVR games are not AAA performance hogs. You don't need 4k ultra HDR in a VR game.

Yes. You can either use cable or do it Wirelessly. There are plenty of videos on YouTube.

One of the best games of all time in my opinion. And probably the best VR game ever. So so good.

I hear you and you are correct. I'm looking for a desktop pc before the prices go up even more. I'm more likely to buy a pc then ever being able to buy steam vr stuff because a pc would actually have other uses. Since I have got meta quest 3s for a family member I will try to make it work through streaming or pc link. This seems like a good price for the game while supporting the developers and making it work with what I got if possible. I appreciate your comment, others might not realize you need more than the meta quest and would be disappointed, so i do appreciate you looking out.

I just discovered you can use Windows hotspot to wirelessly connect the quest directly to your PC if you don't want to commit to buying a router but you have to run a command to turn off the auto scanning or else it becomes unplayable every 20 seconds or so.
