LTO 255 | $1,059 for the Steam Frame - Is It Worth It? // The Hard Sell + Polyarc Shuts Down

What's up Oculus nerds! It's our first Revisited together: Moss, the little mouse with the big sword. We go back to February 2018 when it launched on PSVR, replay it in 2026 on PS VR2 and Quest, dig into Moss: Book II, re-rank the VR platformers, and say goodbye to Polyarc, which closed in September after nearly 12 years. Should you play Moss in 2026, and does it belong in VR's Hall of Fame? Steam keys: all 14 of last week's keys are on screen at 3:38 in the video version. Pause, copy one, and tell us in the Discord which game you got. This week's poll: what's the best VR platformer? Answer in the Spotify poll or the comments, we read them on the show.

What's up Oculus nerds! It's Agree or Disagree night: 14 VR takes in four rounds. Is the free Titanfall 2 VR mod a turning point? Is a 2027 Steam Frame order window worth the wait? John Carmack says Beat Saber was far more important than Half-Life: Alyx. And is VR doing well right now? In the news: Pimax's $1,399 Crystal Pro, Sony's VR patents going to Meta, Ultimechs losing online multiplayer, and live college football on Quest. Plus your comments, the games out this week and what we've been playing. Steam key hunt: we hid 14 Steam keys in this episode, each cut in half. Find both halves of a key and it's yours. One game each, please, and tell us in the Discord which one you got. This week's poll: Beat Saber was more important than Half-Life: Alyx. Agree or disagree?

What's up Oculus nerds! The Hard Sell is back for spooky season. Samson and Mike each bring a menu of three VR horror games, the other host picks one, and the seller pitches it cold: Phasmophobia, Edge of Nowhere, The Midnight Walk and The Obsessive Shadow. Four pitches, zero hard passes. Then the horror games we couldn't finish. In the news: Astro Bot on Quest 3, free Horizon+ add-ons, the Steam Frame's battery boost and FramePort, and The House of the Dead in VR arcades. Plus an extended Walkabout segment on Escape from Planet Xylodon, the return of the LTO Discord Walkabout tournament (four participants win the next DLC course), your comments on the Half-Life: Alyx war, the games out this week and what we've been playing.

What's up Oculus nerds! This week we pick our most overrated VR games. Samson goes after Gorilla Tag and Beat Saber, and Mike takes on Half-Life: Alyx and Robo Recall. Then the news: the Payday: Aces High open playtest, Walkabout's new Escape from Planet Xylodon course, Mighty Coconut downsizing, and Meta's $1 million hands-first developer competition. Plus Believe It or Add a Year, where we call which Meta Connect 2026 promises actually ship on time. We wrap with your comments, the games out this week and what we've been playing. Tell us your most overrated VR game in the Spotify comments or the Discord.

Meta Connect 2026 is here, and we break down everything Meta announced. The headliner is the new Meta VR Glasses at $1,299, coming spring 2027: who they're for, how they stack up against Apple and Snap, and whether "VR when it's glasses" finally arrived. We also cover Ray-Ban Gen 3, Ray-Ban Audio and Muse AI, the Connect game lineup including Beat Saber Flux and Tetris Effect, and what all of it means for VR gaming.
