Microsoft has released the Xbox Cloud Gaming app for the Meta Quest virtual reality platform, allowing users to stream Xbox games through the Meta Quest 2, 3, and Pro headsets. With the Quest 3 and Pro models, which support stereoscopic full-color Passthrough, players can even see the game screen floating in the external environment (watch the accompanying clip).
While Xbox games may not fully support virtual reality, having a wide range of AAA console games available on the Meta Quest headset adds to the platform’s appeal for gamers. Additionally, Valve recently launched the Steam Link app for the Quest, allowing players to stream PC games to the headset in a similar manner. This means that the Meta Quest now supports games from both Xbox and PC, only missing out on games exclusive to its competitor, the PS VR 2 platform.
TLDR: Microsoft’s Xbox Cloud Gaming app brings Xbox games to the Meta Quest virtual reality platform, enhancing the gaming experience on the Quest headsets. With the Quest 3 and Pro models, players can even see the game screen integrated with the real-world environment. Alongside Valve’s Steam Link app, the Meta Quest now supports games from both Xbox and PC, making it a compelling choice for gamers.
