Epic Games might have exclusively secured Tetris Effect - the best game of 2018, if you ask Eurogamer (which I don't think you ever do, actually) - as an Epic Games Store PC exclusive, but it seems there's no shrugging off archrival Steam completely, as Tetris Effect requires SteamVR.
It doesn't matter if you're using an HTC Vive or Oculus Rift headset, you'll still need SteamVR in order to play. Epic confirmed this in a short statement to DSOgaming. "Tetris Effect VR does require SteamVR, both on HTC Vive and Oculus," the company said. The Epic Games Store Tetris Effect FAQ echoes this.
Note, however, this does not mean Tetris Effect requires you to log into Steam to play. SteamVR is a separate piece of software, a link-layer between Steam's OpenVR API and you, the player. And if you're not playing in virtual reality, none of this applies at all.
