Makes me wonder why Steam VR never made a version of the home environment with this functionality. Would be neat to give people the experience of grabbing a game off the shelf to play.
Maybe even adding a feature similar to EmuVR where you can play your traditional (non-VR) games on a TV in the environment (if that wouldn’t melt people’s GPUs to run simultaneously).
Disclaimer: I haven’t dug into it yet to see which ones are good or available to the public.
Looks like the one pictured above was a project called Hall of Games, but they were only up for a few months and then shut down in October.
I’m seeing lots of personal projects (no doubt people vibe-coding for fun). Here’s one on reddit from 3 days ago:
There’s a more polished-looking one on steam called Boxroom, but it seems to have mixed reviews.

It’s such an obvious thing that I can’t believe they haven’t done it either. People would love that.
Whoa shit I want that now. They could even simulate a backcover with screenshots of the game and the short description from the store.
