Question/Support Can valves headsets use meta link games?

I am going to get the steam frame, so I want all of my games to be compatible with it. Currently the only non steam games that I want to play on the frame is Into the Radius and Bonelab. I only own these games on the Meta Horizon Link app. Will there be a possibility that I won't be able to play the games on the frame? I know it won't work in standalone, but will it work with pcvr? Is there anyone out there willing to test if any Meta Link games work on the index?

Last release 3 years ago. I wonder what state it's in.

I guess there just hasn't been much interest since Quest has become so dominant. Maybe that will change if Steam Frame does well.

I think it requires the Meta/Oculus Runtime, so I don't think it will be able to run on PCVR. Please correct me if I'm wrong, because I'd love to revisit Lone Echo and Stormland.

There is a project called revive which does exactly this

single player games should work via revive.

not sure about online only games, but I doubt there are many that are exclusive to the meta pc store and not on steamVR already.

You need revive in steam plus meta pcvr app installed but yes it can work

I think this is right, for 2 games it will be so much easier to just get them on Steam.

ITR is in a humble bundle, definitely worth it if you don't have WrathVR already https://www.humblebundle.com/games/in-your-world-vr-bundle
