Does the Steam Deck work with VR?

Nope, the Steam Deck itself isn't designed to natively support VR due to its hardware limitations. It's a powerhouse for handheld PC gaming, but when it comes to VR, it lacks the necessary horsepower and display output capabilities to drive VR headsets directly. You'd be looking for a more traditional PC setup for the full VR experience.

Actually, while the Steam Deck doesn't directly support VR because it's not powerful enough to handle it on its own or output to a VR headset, there's a tiny glimmer of hope. If you're feeling adventurous, you could theoretically stream VR games from a powerful PC to the Steam Deck using something like Steam Remote Play or other similar streaming services. But remember, it's not designed for this, so expect a less-than-ideal VR experience with potential latency issues and lower performance.

VR on Steam Deck? In short, no. It's not built for that.
