VR headsets compatible with SteamVR now play back 360-degree video content from the Steam Store using this dedicated player. Installation unlocks access to those videos right in the store. The tool runs in Beta, with details on the 360 Video Beta available separately.
An early test build from July 7, 2017, adds playback without a head-mounted display. VR enthusiasts who own SteamVR gear get seamless viewing of store-bought 360 videos. This setup suits users focused on straightforward video playback in virtual reality.
The Steam 360 Video Player allows SteamVR compatible VR headsets to playback Steam 360 Video content that can be found on the Steam Store. Once installed, you can find 360 videos on the Steam store.
The Steam 360 Video Player is currently in Beta. More information about the 360 Video Beta can be found here.
Update: An early test for Non-HMD playback is now available in the build released 7/7/2017.
