Graphics and performance aren’t everything. As a result, the majority of new VR games are on the graphical level of the PS2 era. With Meta Quest 2’s quasi-monopoly, the mobile device has become the VR target platform for most studios. Because Valve has left the PC VR niche to itself for the time being and Playstation VR has reached the end of its life cycle, hopes now rest on its successor.
The VR market desperately needs more diversity and competition. In 2021, Meta’s VR headset accounted for about 80 percent of hardware sales, and on the leading PC VR platform SteamVR, nearly one in two devices in use is a Meta Quest 2.
