im confused, its specs are amazing and on paper is more powerful than the meta quest 3, but its mainly being advertised as a streaming headset that goes from your vr spec pc (that is becoming more and more expensive these days for people).

so can it play games natively on the headset or not? i want to get it for my birthday as i see it as a worthy sucessor to my quest 2 that is amazing, but its controllers are drifiting to an unrepairable degree.

imagine no mans sky on it :0

    From what I’ve seen about foveated rendering, I don’t think developers need to do anything. It should just be “on” for any streamed content

      The frame’s foveated streaming is a separate thing from foveated rendering. Foveated streaming does nothing to reduce the rendering load on the hardware running the game, it just reduces the network bandwidth required.

        The bugs are going to be hilarious when the game incorrectly understands what you’re looking at, or breaks from looking at something too intensely
