Microsoft and Valve had co-announced the fact that Windows VR headsets will be able to play SteamVR content, but it remains unknown when that support will actually be coming: according to one source, it will not be available when the Windows Fall Creators Update is released on October 17th. SteamVR compatibility with Windows VR headsets will likely be made possible with Valve’s OpenVR driver.



As reported by the German tech publication Computer Base, Microsoft’s Greg Sullivan announced at the Berlin-based tech trade show IFA 2017 that SteamVR support wouldn’t be ready for the October 17th release of the Windows Fall Creators Update. According to ComputerBase, work on hooking the company’s swath of VR headsets into SteamVR has only just begun, and exactly when customers will be able to pop into Steam to buy and play supported titles, Sullivan couldn’t say.
