List of VR Games that Support the Valve Index Controllers
The Valve Index virtually reality headset is finally coming out in a few days’ time. It’s a premium end headset that packs quite a punch with some of the best specs so far. It provides better comfort, enhanced resolution, better audio quality, increased field of view and much more. The Index is certainly a headset that is going to elevate the virtual reality experience and many users are quite enthusiastic about its prospect.
In tandem with the headset launch will also be the Index Controllers. Previously, these were referred to as Knuckles controllers and they have been long in development. Like the headset, they come with some extra enhancements such as better virtual reality finger-tracking, analog sticks among other features. There is already an extensive lineup of some really cool games that you could play with these controllers.
For a start, all the SteamVR games should support the Valve controllers by default. With expected high uptake of the Valve Index headsets, many developers are already updating their VR games to support finger-tracking functionality and other important features.
Some of the games that support the controllers are already confirmed while a few others will soon have official Index controller support. Users who don’t want to splurge on the Valve Index VR headsets can still squeeze in some savings by separately purchasing the Index controllers and then using them with their HTC Vive instead of purchasing the full package for $1000. Here is a look at some of the games that offer support for SteamVR so far.
