Xbox Cloud Gaming Just Leveled-Up Meta's Quest VR Headsets
A supported controller is another requirement, and according to Meta a variety of controllers will work—Xbox controllers, PlayStation 4 controllers, and the Nintendo Switch Pro controller are currently compatible with the Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) app. An update is in the works that will add Sony's excellent PlayStation 5 DualSense controller to the mix.
Meta says that with this new app users will be able to “choose from four different display sizes and either immerse yourself in an Xbox-themed virtual space or enjoy a view of your physical surroundings with Quest 3 or Pro’s stereoscopic full-color Passthrough.” Both Xbox and Meta only mention the Quest 3 and the Pro, so it seems as if Quest 2 owners might have a different experience when using the app.
This news is a big win for Quest headset owners. It gives them immediate access to a large library of games that includes Forza Motorsport, Fallout 4, Starfield, Halo Infinite, Grand Theft Auto 5, and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Not only that, but Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members also get access to any Xbox first-party titles on launch day.
