Though VR gaming has not really taken of the way it was expected to, the mobile VR market faired a lot better than mainstream high-end VR games. The ease of use, accessibility and availability has made mobile VR a much more practical and cheaper way to experience the world of Virtual Reality. The drawback however would be the quality of the experience if compared of course to that provided by the high-end HMD's. Nevertheless, mobile VR gaming is here to stay and the common trend seems to be the porting of High-end VR games for mobile use as well. Let's now take a look at 5 VR mobile games scheduled to come out this coming year.
