Into Black, an upcoming co-op action adventure for Quest, showcased more of its Deep Rock Galactic-inspired gameplay in a new trailer, which also announced the opening of pre-orders.

Developed by The Binary Mill, the VR studio behind Resist, RUSH, Mini Motor Racing X and Gun Club VR, Into Black takes you to deep space for some familiar scrounging, mining and heavy exploration. Here’s how the studio describes it:

A lone wanderer on the edge of space, a mystery as old as the universe itself, and one little robot who just wants to make the tea.

Into Black is a First-Person action […]

Meta’s ‘End of Summer’ sale is in full swing, offering 30 percent off tons of Quest apps and games.

From now until September 3rd, you can use the discount code SEP30 at checkout to get 30% off over 200 titles.

Meta has published a handy list of participating games, but we rounded up some top picks you might consider, with the discounted price in bold and regular price in parentheses:

Among Us VR – $6.99 ($9.99)
Arizona Sunshine – $20.99 ($29.99)
Arizona Sunshine 2 – $27.99 ($39.99)

The competitive landscape has undoubtedly changed with the entrance of Apple Vision Pro earlier this year, raising questions where Meta is headed next with its XR efforts. A recent report from The Information maintains the company is now considering a device resembling “a bulky pair of [mixed reality] glasses,” codenamed ‘Puffin’.

Citing two Meta employees, the report maintains the headset currently under consideration is a slim and light mixed reality device that would serve as an alternative to larger headsets, such as the current Quest line, which thus far has “limited consumer appeal,” The Information reports.

Quest has been an increasingly popular choice for Steam users since the release of the original in 2019, now accounting for over half of all connected VR headsets. Now Valve’s latest 2.8.3 SteamVR update includes a few new features that’s making Quest a better PC VR headset than ever.

Released in late 2023, Steam Link allows users to easily connect their Quest wirelessly to SteamVR to play PC VR or flatscreen PC games, essentially letting you bypass Meta’s own Air Link.

Now, the Steam Link for Meta Quest Beta update (2.0.11.1197) introduces a few new features for the […]

Quest doesn’t have AirPlay, but it’s not for the lack of trying. In a post on X, Meta CTO Andrew ‘Boz’ Bosworth says the company is happy to do the “heavy lifting” on bringing Apple’s media streaming to Quest—if Apple will allow it.

John Carmack, legendary programmer and former CTO of Oculus, posted on X recently that while at Meta he “always wanted to get Apple AirPlay support on Meta Quest.” However he maintained Apple apparently “wouldn’t cooperate” with bringing its wireless streaming protocol, which allows streaming audio, video, and other media content from one device to another.

I always wanted […]

Next year VR will get its first big Batman VR game, exclusively on Quest 3. We went hands-on with the game and found out what it’s like to be the brawler behind the mask.

My first impression of Batman: Arkham Shadow is that it was hard on my back.

The Arkham series is well known for its “freeflow combat,” where you’re able to freely attack in any direction at any time. You manage violence in these games like an orchestra conductor, where you’re always in control.

The first big hurdle for adapting Arkham into VR, as an exclusive for the Meta […]

There’s no shortage of speculation when it comes to all things Valve. Tyler McVicker, YouTuber and one of the leading voices dedicated to deciphering Valve’s various internal developments, however now reports that not only is the company’s long-awaited standalone VR headset still coming, but it may arrive alongside its own Half-Life game.

Valve’s much hyped standalone, known only as ‘Deckard’, is “still very much in production,” McVicker maintains, saying that according to his sources that Valve “still intend on shipping this piece of hardware.”

Check out his latest latest video, linked below:

While rumors swirl around the next Half-Life […]

The Unity Cube is an objectively terrible game that was built to test the limits of what Quest content Meta would allow into its uncurated App Lab program. The experiment continues to prove its worth; now that Meta has dissolved App Lab, The Unity Cube has moved to the main Quest store and shown that Meta is truly hands-off when it comes to the scope or quality of what can get listed in its VR game store.

For a long time the only official way to distribute an app on Quest was to submit it to Meta for manual review. But Meta would only […]
