Why I'm intrigued by Galaxy XR as a gaming device

Before I tested Galaxy XR in New York, I suspected Samsung would ignore gaming and focus on making it a "serious" XR device. But after Samsung reps showed off Stardew Valley, No Man's Sky, and traditional VR games on the headset, I was intrigued. And the more I've learned about the headset, the more convinced I am that it's a genuine, unique gaming device I'd love to use.

VR fans will find a decent list of Android XR launch titles, with some personal faves like Walkabout Mini Golf, Synth Riders, and Demeo, plus some workout titles like FitXR to turn Galaxy XR into an immersive gym. It supports Unity and the OpenXR standard most VR games use, so I'm certain the list will grow quickly.
