However, if you have a virtual reality headset and are hankering for some pre-Christmas gaming, you might want to check out the Steam VR Fest next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The latest video on the Steam YouTube channel breaks down what you can expect between December 4 and December 11. There&#8217;s not a whole lot that needs to be explained, to be honest. It&#8217;s a Steam event. It caters to VR games. You know the score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Steam VR Fest: Official Trailer\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-a_G51fzL3c?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As for what&#8217;s involved, the teaser shows off clips from games like <em>Among Us VR<\/em>, <em>Star Trek: Bridge Crew<\/em>, <em>Elite Dangerous<\/em>, <em>Golf It!<\/em>, and <em>Tetris Effect: Connected<\/em>. How you play a virtual reality version of <em>Tetris,<\/em> I&#8217;m not sure. But these are the times we live in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-steam-work-makes-the-dream-work\">Steam work makes the dream work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While these Steam events have been pretty short, lasting about a week or a few days, many of us are still recovering from the last one. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/steam-autumn-sale-begins-this-week\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Autumn Sale<\/a> took place at the end of November, and we still have the big Winter event to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Can&#8217;t complain, of course. I&#8217;ve got a laundry list of games on my wishlist that I wouldn&#8217;t mind buying at a lower price. If waiting until a Steam sale is the way to do it, then so be it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, with virtual reality still finding its footing in the market, the VR Fest is a great way those who have a headset to test out their hardware. I would get a virtual reality kit myself, but I can&#8217;t justify the cost.
