SteamVR 2.0 – Valve's own tool and UI used to access and manage VR content – is now available for download on Steam. The major update marks a big leap forward, aiming to unify the Steam ecosystem for a more consistent experience. In other words, it brings a new, much more familiar UI, but also a ton more other goodies.
So, what's in store with this update? Let's dive in.
One of the features of SteamVR 2.0 is the integration of many of Steam's existing functionalities. That means most of the features you love from Steam and the Steam Deck are now seamlessly incorporated into your VR experience.

I believe communication is key, and in SteamVR 2.0, you can expect an updated keyboard with support for dual-cursor typing, additional languages, emojis, and themes. The integration of Steam Chat and Voice Chat ensures you're always connected with friends and fellow gamers.
If you're an avid gamer, you'll appreciate the improvements. SteamVR 2.0 showcases new and popular VR releases front and center, making it easier to discover exciting content. No more scrolling endlessly to find what's hot in the VR world – it's right there at your fingertips.
