Valve is working on three full VR games, loves the PC a lot right now


During a media roundtable at the Valve’s Bellevue, Washington office, Gabe Newell revealed that Valve is currently working on three full VR games. According to Newell, these won’t be mere tech demos, but rather full VR games.

As Newell said:

“When I say we’re building three games, we’re building three full games, not experiments.”

In addition, Newell claimed that Valve right now loves the PC platform a lot, which is why it will most likely stay exclusive to it.

We get really frustrated working in walled gardens,” said Newell during the media roundtable and continued.

“There have been cases where we’ve updated products 5-6 times in a day. When we did the original iOS of Steam App, right, we shipped it, we got a whole bunch of feedback and like the next day we’re ready to do an update. We weren’t able to get that update out for six months! And we couldn’t find out why they wouldn’t release it! They wouldn’t tell us. This is the life that you have in these environments. And finally they shipped it! And they wouldn’t tell us why they finally shipped it.”

Gabe Newell concluded that Valve loves the PC a lot right now. And before you say it… no; this does not mean that there will be a Half-Life 3.
