      Well it was a little expected - basically the flagship game for VR

        the double negative tripped you up - wasn’t unexpected == was expected

        HLA is almost the VR game. Would be weird if they didn’t port it to their own new headset.

          Really wish Meta would port Lone Echo, at least to the Quest 3, and ideally to steam. Its such a good game, but with it not being able to be played unteathered, in nearly forgotten.

    Valve were working on 3 full VR games in 2017. It’s a shame we’re just getting Alyx as the flagship again.

    Didn’t dawn on my that this was an arm device. Makes sense, I just didn’t really think about it.

    How many current VR games (or Linux games in general) have arm builds?

      There should be a ton of current VR games that have ARM builds because the Meta Quest is also an ARM-powered device. But I believe that it runs some customized Android, not Linux, so that part might be trickier. Still, I also understand that Steam has included a compatibility tool to allow running Android games on it. Between those two things, there should be plenty of games that could be converted to run natively on Frame without too much effort, I would think.
