Perhaps it's just a lack of marketing then. I'm not aware of anything new since AC. And there didn't seem to be much before that. Did San Andreas ever come out? I bailed on their platform after a year so if they're only pushing ads to their own headsets I haven't seen em.
Steam is where all the good games are. Any headset that doesn't support it is basically doomed. At least in the adult market.
There are plenty of games coming out; it’s just that Meta isn’t making them themselves. So far in 2024, we have Underdogs, Medieval Dynasty, Riven, Mudrunner, Max Mustard, Ghosts of Tabor, Contractors Showdown, and many more.
Upcoming games include Skydance’s Behemoth, Batman Arkham Shadow, Hitman 3, Metro Awakening, and Alien Rogue Incursion.
I’m pretty sure Quest is where the money is, as it has the most users.
Quest is indeed where the money is at. But most (all?) of those games are also on Steam and look a hell of a lot better.
My point is that Meta isn't really offering anything compared to what you get with other headsets. Sure they were the clear winner in the Quest 2 days but now, not so much.
Batman and Hitman are exclusive, but I think it’s great that studios take the time to port games to multiple platforms. Games have always looked much better on PC/PSVR, but it’s both more expensive and, most importantly, more friction to play that way.
What Meta currently has is being the clear number one in standalone VR – the platform that most people prefer.
