VR games for PC: Steam gifts and what virtual reality needs
VR games are their own genre on PC: you play inside the scene rather than on a monitor, and a VR headset is required to launch them — a SteamVR headset (Valve Index, HTC Vive, WMR) or a Quest/Pico connected to the PC over Link. That is a requirement of the genre, not of any seller: without a headset the game will not start. On a marketplace all five games below sell as a Steam gift — the game arrives as a present straight into your library, rather than a licensed key you redeem yourself. The gift mechanics are covered in our guide on accepting a Steam gift. Per their listings, every offer targets accounts with a Russia store region, which is a neutral restriction of the item.
Half-Life: Alyx — the flagship VR shooter
Half-Life: Alyx is Valve’s return to the Half-Life universe in virtual reality. Set between Half-Life and Half-Life 2, it casts you as Alyx Vance in the fight against the Combine. It is Valve’s best-known VR game and effectively the benchmark for the genre. Per the listing it is a Steam gift: a bot adds you as a friend and delivers the licensed game to your library within a minute of payment; the account region is Russia, and a VR headset is required to play.
Beat Saber — the rhythm game
Beat Saber is a VR rhythm game: you slash the blocks of fast-paced music as they fly towards you, surrounded by a futuristic world. A simple idea and a rich music collection made it one of VR’s calling cards. Per the listing it is a Steam gift to your Russia-region account, with automatic bot delivery 24/7; a VR headset is required.
Pavlov VR — the online shooter
Pavlov VR is a multiplayer VR shooter focused on online play: realistic weapon-reloading mechanics and fast-paced gunfights. It is one of the most popular VR shooters on PC, with an active community.

BONELAB — the physics sandbox
BONELAB by Stress Level Zero is an experimental physics-driven VR action game: you explore a mysterious lab, swap between character bodies, wield dozens of weapons and solve physics-based challenges, with Steam Workshop mod support on top. Per the listing it is a Steam gift (not a key): a bot sends the game after payment; the account region is Russia, and a SteamVR-compatible VR headset is required.
The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners — VR survival

What to check before paying
- A VR headset. All five games require a virtual-reality headset — a genre requirement, not the seller’s. A SteamVR headset (Valve Index, HTC Vive, WMR) or a Quest/Pico connected over Link will work. Check headset compatibility and system requirements in advance.
- Format — a gift, not a key. All five arrive as a Steam gift: a bot friends you via your profile link and sends the game to your library — you do not redeem a key. Details are in our guide on accepting a Steam gift.
- Region — a neutral restriction of the item. Every lot targets a Russia store region. Match your Steam account country against the offer’s region before paying; no region change is required.
- Reviews and seller. Read the reviews on the listing — they reflect real activation experience with that seller. How a storefront differs from buying direct is covered in our guide on the marketplace versus the store directly.
- After the purchase — account security. Steps to protect your account after receiving the gift are in our guide on account security after purchase.
Bazelio is a storefront: payment is taken by the seller on the payment platform, and the seller handles the gift delivery and support. More games are in the PC Games section.
