Where are These Missing VR Games?

As is they're coins down a sofa, some announced games seem to just disappear. So just where are these missing VR games?

There wont be enough demand until the tech gets better and more affordable.

The article is more concerned with where the announced games are. Not about VR demand.

Even with my thoughts on Facebook, they did supposedly sell over 20 million headsets. Not that I think that many are still using their Quest headsets. But even if it's only 10 million users and 5 million are interested and able to play GTA SA, that's still a lot of consumers and a lot of sales.

It just comes down to why these developers are taking so long. Is something like GTA canceled? Is it being held back for a future event? It's not like there's competition in the stand alone space. And now that I have a Quest 3 myself, I'm wondering as well what's the hold up.

For GTA SA
Meta made a lot of budget cuts and cancelled a fair few exclusive game contracts we don't know if this was cancelled but it's possible and this was announced prior to the release of GTA definitive edition which was slammed and eventually moved to be supported in house by Rockstar.

Since then we have just gotten the mobile versions a d they are actually the best way to play the definitive edition unfortunately the consoles never got a retrospective patch to implement the improvements they made in the mobile games.

But for VR we know a VR mode was found in the definitive editions game files thanks to data miners so seeming it was meant to be using the definitive edition as a base given its ue4 that makes sense. And the mode is there right now (some Polish may be required still) I would assume this is ready to go but meta got cold feet and cancelled it given the games reputation.

I do hope Rockstar forge ahead and still just launch it anyway on psvr2 as it's a game I've loved since day 1 on PS2 I'll even tolerate the de version to get it in VR

Nice! It's a shame that it has to be on the dumbest common denominator on the Quest though. I use a Quest2, but would much prefer being able to max out the graphics on Steam. I'm not looking to upgrade to a Quest3 at the moment.

You gotta admit though, even the quest 2 poops all over the apple vision pro in terms of games. The quest, and even the quest 3 is just an affordable entry level.

Well yea, that's why I have a Quest2. :D

It's a perfect entry point for PCVR! And yea, it's cool that it can run games natively. I just wish Mudrunner VR was coming to Steam so we can get it at its best.

Apple Vision Pro is made for complete home computer replacement, and it just happens to have a few games. It'll never be a focus. That price is crazy!

It is clear PSVR2 should have taken the stand alone approach with optional PS5 connectivity for those who own a PS5 to get those few premium titles that exist as 95% of the VR titles out there are stand alone quest versions. That would have bridged two markets. I just don't think Sony have the appetite to run another platform outside of the PS5 though.

But it’s already playable in vr with uevr!
