Only add in this section if any of the table fields apply.

The VR support section handles all 3D and VR-related software and hardware support for a game.

The table holds all the relevant information for the section. It is split up into 4 distinct sub-sections:

  • 3D modes
  • Headsets
  • Devices
  • Play area

General rules

  • Fill in all the fields for 3D modes, but only fill in the applicable fields for Headsets, Devices, and Play area.
  • GameGrade3D (GG3D) is a database focused on assessing the quality of stereoscopic 3D modes used in games.
    • The community-driven aspect of grading may make it difficult to pinpoint the award level for the respective field. As such, the award level with the most submissions is the overall award level for the mode (ignore sub-ratings).
      • Ex. If a entry has 3 Platinum awards but also 6 Gold awards, set the relevant award field to gold
