Oculus 1.17 Will Integrate SteamVR Games

The forthcoming 1.17 software update for Oculus will allow consumers to launch SteamVR games from Oculus Home.

At the moment, Oculus users are required to launch SteamVR and Oculus Store titles from their respective applications, but once 1.17 arrives, all Rift-compatible games will be visible via the Oculus Home interface, either in its 2D form or in VR.

Games are automatically added as they are detected by the software, but a manual batch import feature may be incorporated at a later date.

A pre-release build of the new update is available now to users enrolled in the Oculus Public Test Channel.
