The vrmanifest file extension is associated with Steam, Valve's software distribution and game-management service. Steam allows users to purchase, install and manage video games.
A vrmanifest file stores metadata about Steam files and programs. Steam uses this information internally when identifying and managing related software and content.
Steam is available for Microsoft Windows, Apple macOS (formerly Mac OS X) and Linux/Unix. The format is intended for Steam rather than for direct use as a document by the user.
Steam normally creates and reads vrmanifest files automatically. To inspect one, open it with a plain-text editor; however, changing the file may interfere with Steam's management of the associated files or program.
A vrmanifest file should generally be left in the location where Steam created it.
A vrmanifest file is an internal Steam manifest and does not normally have a useful conversion or export option. Steam should recreate or update the file when it manages the associated content.
