Meta Quest 2, Xbox Cloud Gaming is coming and several new games

During Meta Connect, in which the new Meta Quest Pro viewer for professionals was unveiled, there was also talk of gaming, which remains one of the most widespread and exploited aspects of virtual reality. Many announcements at a general level: multiple unpublished titles and content for already known titles are on the way. Let’s briefly summarize all the most important news.

During the event Satya Nadella in person, CEO of Microsoft, announced that the cloud gaming platform is coming to the Meta Quest Store, initially in Beta form. It will be possible to play all the titles available for streaming – they will not be adapted to VR but will guarantee a much more immersive experience – “like having a home theater all to yourself wherever you want it,” says Microsoft. For now there are no precise dates yet.

The game, which has been available for PlayStation VR from 2020, will arrive on Meta’s headset in just under a month. From how it was described, it should be exactly the same experience. At the same time, the Camouflaj team, which developed the game, was acquired by Meta and is now part of Oculus Studios. Camouflaj is already working on a new project, but it will take a while before we have official information.

This December the BigBox VR game will allow users to unleash their creativity thanks to the sandbox mode, in which it will be possible to build, share and test all new games. Thanks to sharing, everyone will benefit from the mode, not just content creators.

Announced some time ago, the first-person version of the highly acclaimed party game finally has a release date: November 10th. Pre-orders are open right now. The first-person shot, Meta explains, makes the gameplay experience a little more challenging, but the basic mechanics of the game remain the same – as does the maximum number of players supported, which is 10.

The second chapter of The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners will be called Retribution and will be available from this December. The return to zombie-infested New Orleans, Meta explains, will be even more lethal and dangerous than the first time: resources will be scarce, and in addition to the ubiquitous zombies, the unstoppable Axeman must also be fought. Among the new settings will be the reconstruction of the French Quarter of New Orleans.

Developed by the same studio that developed The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners combat system, Behemoth is a game made completely from scratch to “demonstrate what the studio has learned about what it means to fight for your survival in virtual reality. .
