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.

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:
Go to the Steam website and click the green INSTALL button in the upper right.
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.)
Install SteamVR…
In Steam, click the Tools menu
Scroll down to "SteamVR" in the list
Right-click on SteamVR and choose Install
Search for VirZOOM Arcade in Steam, and click to INSTALL it.

To play VirZOOM Arcade games online, you need to register your VirZOOM device and create a VirZOOM account. Here's how to set that up:
- Plug in the a compatible USB Bluetooth dongle that came with your VirZOOM equipment.. (This is included with VZ Bikes and commercial installations. If you don't have a compatible dongle, you can purchase one from the manufacturer.)
Launch VirZOOM Arcade from Steam.
- When you see a screen prompting you to connect a bike...
- If you're on VZ Bike, switch it on and start pedaling.
- If you're using your own exercise bike (which must have VZ Sensor attached), start pedaling at least 90 degrees per second.
- If you're using a handheld controller, press the button indicated on your screen to use a controller instead of a bike.
Make note of the code on the bottom of your screen and/or in your headset.
Go to virzoom.com/register and enter your authorization code.
Follow the instructions to create a VirZOOM account.
