How to get the Oculus Rift working with SteamVR right now

The Oculus Rift now works with Steam.

Valve, the company that owns and operates the world’s most popular digital-distribution portal for PC games, has updated its SteamVR software to work with Oculus VR’s Rift virtual reality headset. Next week, Valve will release its Vive head-mounted display along with hardware partner HTC, but the gaming giant has always said it will do what it can to support devices from competitors. That is already manifesting, and you can start using the Rift with Steam today. With experts at tech adviser Digi-Capital predicting that VR could generate $30 billion in spending by 2020, Valve is doing what it can to ensure that Oculus doesn’t take control of that market on PC.
