This page will walk you through the steps to get set up to play games with VirZOOM using your HTC Vive and PC. To do this, install our free collection of exercise games, VirZOOM Arcade, and, optionally, register your VirZOOM device and a VirZOOM account. If you haven't already set up your VZ Bike Controller or VZ Sensor, should go do that step first before you return here.

Set up Vive for the first time

If you haven't ever used your Vive before, follow the manufacturers' setup instructions online.

Install VirZOOM Arcade

You can get VirZOOM Arcade from Steam, an online game service. If you don't already have Steam set up, be sure to do the following:

  1. Go to the Steam website and click the green INSTALL button in the upper right.

  2. Launch the Steam application you just installed and create a Steam account. (This is used to make and track purchases on Steam, not in VirZOOM games. We're going to make a separate VirZOOM account later.)

  3. Install SteamVR…

    1. In Steam, click the Tools menu

    2. Scroll down to "SteamVR" in the list

    3. Right-click on SteamVR and choose Install

  4. Search for VirZOOM Arcade in Steam, and click to INSTALL it.
