Got your Steam Frame or any other VR kit and want to follow some interesting upcoming games? Here's some potentials for you that could be good. All of these will be releasing on Steam.

Hopefully plenty of these will be a nice experience on the Steam Frame - as I'm always on the hunt for more to try on it. Perhaps some might even run standalone without the need for streaming.
