Valve has released Half-Life: Alyx only on its platform, and the game officially only works with virtual reality devices.
This information allows you to approximately determine how much the premiere of the new game of the cult series influenced the situation with VR devices on Steam.
Judging by the “Data on the hardware and software of platform users” provided by the service in April 2020, the number of virtual reality users increased from 0.62% to 1.91%. In April, the VR helmet used by 950 thousand users more than in March – 2.7 million people.
The figure seems small if you compare it with the total number of Steam users of 90 million, but for a modest VR community – this is a good result.
Valve still has not talked about future plans for the universe.
