Now that we have our first look at the upcoming Half-Life: Alyx VR experience, some may not be wanting to shell out the cash for the Index equipment. Here's what other VR headsets are compatible.

Their latest game is for VR, but that doesn't mean it's a separate game. The studio promises this is a full-on adventure and the next logical step for this beloved franchise, which means many VR players if their current equipment will be enough.

According to Valve, "Playing as Alyx Vance, you are humanity’s only chance for survival.

Among them are some of Earth’s greatest scientists: you and your father, Dr. Eli Vance.

"As founders of a fledgling Resistance, you’ve continued your clandestine scientific activity—performing critical research, and building invaluable tools for the few humans brave enough to defy the Combine."
