Virtual reality is cheaper and easier to access than ever before, but the best VR experiences are on PC.

Building a PC that can handle VR might seem a little daunting, but it's no more difficult than building a regular gaming PC.

Half-Life Alyx is still the gold standard in high-end PC VR experiences, but has modest minimum requirements.

The most popular VR headset series on the market is Meta Quest , but they're also decent PC VR systems.

The Meta Quest 3 improves on the Meta Quest 2 in every way, while adding brand-new mixed reality capabilities thanks to advanced full color external cameras. Just about any decent gaming PC is also good to go for VR these days , but as you can see, if you want to get the best out of VR specifically, some small tweaks can make a good experience great..
