maomao Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Do games developed for the original Vive headset work on the Vive Pro. Just curious since Viveport allows you to filter games by Vive or Vive Pro and the resulting lists of games are not the same. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HackPerception Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 - Absolutely, Vive Pro is a SteamVR HMD and thus anything that's designed for Vive will work well with Pro and should work with other SteamVR HMD's (with some backend caveats). The filter in Viveport is highlighting titles that have been reported by the developer to be optimized/compatible for Pro. This filter exists because some titles that have low rez shading and texturing can actually look worse on the Pro than the original Vive due to the resolution bump. It is by no-means an exhaustive list of titles and are basically suggestions for titles that make the most of the enhancements. In the future there may be titles that integrate the stereoscopic cameras which could potentially limit some titles to compatible hardware but that is not currently the case.

maomao Posted October 25, 2018 Author Share Posted October 25, 2018 Thank you for the detailed response! I appreciate the clarification. I thought it was nonsensical that the Vive Pro wouldn't be able to play the Vive games but I just wanted to double check before spending the money.
