PayPalForefront is a multiplayer first-person shooter from Triangle Factory, and now they've upgraded it with support for Valve's Steam Frame.
What exactly is it? From the creators of Breachers and Hyper Dash, Forefront delivers an all-out war experience in VR. Engage in massive 32-player battles with cross-play across platforms, a variety of expansive maps, and semi-destructible environments, where strategy, skill, and teamwork decide the outcome.
This could be an interesting one for VR fans that want something like Battlefield, and Valve have rated it Steam Frame Verified - so it should be good to go in standalone mode with no streaming from a PC needed. It has Easy Anti-Cheat, as listed on our dedicated anti-cheat page which is enabled for Linux.
