From checking the patron list, we've noticed that only a small percent of you are on our Discord Channel. If you do fancy a more active and social community, there is a good place to catch up and discuss the in-development (and released) ports with fellow Team Beef VR gamers. The discord also features Patreon-only channels for mid-tier and up.

Future Game Suggestions
We've been asked a lot what are the possibilities for the future and what are the prerequisites for a suggestion to be considered. Here are the general guidelines
Native Quest 2 / Pico 4 Games:
Any game suggestion should have released (not illegally dumped) and licensed Open Source code of that port's engine (ideally also ported to Android). If a game doesn't have the source released, even if an Android version exists on Google Play store (I.e. HL2 / GTA:SA) a port is not possible. If it's not ported the Android, but the source exists, it is still a possibility either to convert ourselves, or instead focus on a PCVR version. When suggesting, ideally include a link to the released source code. This allows us to quickly evaluate and let you know the possibility of porting.
A good example of this is Star Trek: Elite Force. We've heard numerous times that the code has been made Open Source but the only versions we have seen are just the code for MP without the Single Player portions. If you have a different source, we may not be aware of it.
PCVR Unity Games:
Pretty much any Unity game can be modded for VR, giving enough effort. However multi-player games are usually out of the question due to anti-cheat measures, which would detect such a mod on public servers (although private servers are still a possibility). Some games contain a Unity process known as IL2CPP, where the code is converted to C++ functions during compilation, which makes it harder to decompile these games. However it is still possible.
We therefore accept any suggestions of PCVR games which are made in Unity. Here's a good list compiled by the Flat2VR community for inspiration:

PCVR Native Games:
Much like Native Quest 2 games if an Open Source engine exists (or engine rewrite such as OpenMW) it is possible to create PCVR versions of those games. We've previously focused on Quest 2 development for quite a few reasons but are considering looking into PCVR (even for our own ports - WrathQuest / JKQuest / RTCWQuest where an equivalent PCVR mod does not already exist). So much like the Quest 2 section, as long as the game has source available and that source is properly licensed (not illegally dumped) please do suggest these.
PCVR Unreal Engine (UE4) Games:
Much like many people we are eagerly awaiting the release of PreyDog's Universal Unreal Engine VR Injector Mod, which in theory should make any UE4 game playable in VR. It may well be the case that individual games need specific tweaking or enhancements on top of that mod. If this is the case it is likely that Team Beef could be doing this work. However nothing is known at this time and therefore we are currently not taking UE4 suggestions.
We look forward to your suggestions either here on this post or via Discord. The future of VR has never been brighter!
We've created a Trello Board with all the game suggestions thus far. It also contains quite a bit of other general information. Please do check it out. In the future we will hold Patreon votes on what game should be tackled next.
