Abstract
Virtual reality technology has evolved from the last century to the present, with huge improvements in performance, graphics quality and portability of headset devices. Major game manufacturers and studios have launched virtual reality games that use virtual reality technology. Compared with traditional games, virtual reality games have a strong sense of immersion, presence and interactivity, and are very popular among players. This paper summarizes the development history of VR devices and VR games, outlines the importance of VR in game design and development - the strong immersion and interactivity of VR games compared with traditional games, and explains the applications of VR in various types of games, among which are scenario-experiencing games with exploration games and social games, action-simulation games with sports and role-playing games, and educational games for teaching purposes, and points out that there are still shortcomings in the development and design of current virtual reality games, and developers of virtual reality devices and games need to work together to make virtual reality games have more application scenarios and meanings. The hotspots and development prospects of VR games at the current stage are prospected.
