PC VR game, played only in VR
Metro AwakeningWhat do you need to play it?
Metro Awakening is a VR game: Steam lists it as "VR Only", with tracked motion controllers. It is a separate game, not a VR mode of Metro Exodus or the other Metro games.

Prices are each store's listed price in US dollars, from its own data, before any checkout fees: the lowest listed price among the stores we list, not every store. How stores sell: retailer, marketplace, official store.
Decide
- Lowest listed price: $7.17 at Eneba (marketplace); lowest at a retailer $7.39 at Loaded.
- Official store: Steam, $29.99.
- Before you buy: check your PC against the requirements in step 2 (Steam lists the graphics card under its minimum and recommended requirements); without a headset the game does not start.
