If you’re interested in this style of game on pcvr, you could check out battlegroup vr
I’m not sure exactly how similar they are but they both have you commanding your own fleet. I haven’t played either so this isn’t an endorsement but they both look cool. Battlegroup seems to have a really cool perspective from the command ship too
It has borrowed many elements from botw but with a lot of the “Ubisoft open world formula” on top. I really enjoyed it. The combat is deeper than botw in the traditional sense but I found it responsive and easy to learn. The “shrine” equivalents also had some interesting and unique challenges too.

I’m not op but the post was made in the context of the article. The article which had a title modifying this quote about the Berlin Wall “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” to refer to Apple’s CEO.
As we continue to work toward regulatory approval of the Microsoft deal, we’ve been getting some questions whether our upcoming and recently launched games will be available via Game Pass," says the statement. “While we do not have plans to put Modern Warfare III or Diablo IV into Game Pass this year, once the deal closes, we expect to start working with Xbox to bring our titles to more players around the world. And we anticipate that we would begin adding games into Game Pass sometime in the course of next year.”
I’m developing a game with Unity and for some reason I’m not able to import a correct a VR package and enable two screens (Both eyes) in the game view....
You can split your screen in Unity by adding a second camera and setting the rectangle for each. You will obviously want to position the 2 cameras the correct distance apart for vr.
There are plenty of search results “unity split screen” if you want more detailed info. Eg: discussions.unity.com/t/…/307
Also, have you tried Unity’s open xr package? I’ve read that you can use Google daydream as a PC vr headset if the daydream packages aren’t working for you xda-developers.com/vridge-2-2-google-daydream-ste…
Plugging in to use a Windows Mixed Reality headset will not work starting with his[sic] build. Windows Mixed Reality is no longer available to users as Windows Mixed Reality has been announced as deprecated. This includes the Mixed Reality Portal app, and Windows Mixed Reality for SteamVR and Steam VR Beta. Existing Windows Mixed Reality devices will continue to work with Steam through November 2026, if users remain on their current released version of Windows 11 (version 23H2) and do not upgrade to this year’s annual feature update for Windows 11 (version 24H2). This deprecation does not impact HoloLens.
No separate driver download at all. It sounds like it will stop working in 2026, even if you don’t update.
Looking at picking up a quest 3, but want to try one out before I buy. Doesn’t seem like the usual places (JB, EB, department stores) offer any way to test them? Does anyone know of retailers who have demos?
It might depend where you are. If you want to try that specific headset, you could ask on vr Facebook pages etc. I recall VR meet ups used to have headsets being used for demos.
Otherwise, there are sometimes vr arcades where you can pay to use a headset. You can call them and ask which ones they have
