I’ll just keep waiting until I can play VR on my phone without spending money on a headset that doesn’t add much value.
I'm not sure, but it seems like they might offer a free trial. You could definitely give it a shot since you don't own the game.
Things are built with a specific goal in mind, not everything fits perfectly. You might claim you spent $1000 on a useless phone—it can send messages or take photos, but it’s not useful for much else. On the flip side, consider why your phone would need to cost more just to add VR features you don’t want. Most people before you have pondered this too; it often fails or doesn’t succeed because it isn’t worth the investment. Sure, some devices let you use your phone as a VR display, but you’ll still miss out on key aspects like smooth tracking and performance in games such as Half Life Alyx. You can’t compare the two. Your phone was made for basic tasks—photos, chatting, calls, simple apps—all powered by compact, strong hardware that lasts a day. A VR system, however, needs precise tracking, low latency, and top-tier performance to keep you immersed. The current top models are the most advanced and costly for good reasons, but there are cheaper alternatives. Focus on one purpose and excel at it. That’s why we have phones, PCs, VR rigs, etc.—each built for what they were meant to do. (I own the original Vive; this stuff is really impressive and definitely worth it. I hope Half Life Alyx sparks more great VR experiences.)
