Real-Time Strategy Game Homeworld: Vast Reaches Heads For SteamVR Soon

3 October - Syndicated News | 0 Comments

[img]{LINK REMOVED}[/img]
Homeworld: Vast Reaches brings the real-time strategy game to SteamVR with upgraded visuals later this month.

Developed by FarBridge, {LINK REMOVED}Homeworld: Vast Reaches takes place between the events of Homeworld 1 and Homeworld 2, setting adventurous astronauts on a fresh journey within the series’ universe. You join Karan S’jet, commander of the Kushan Mothership, alongside Tyrra Soban, a new Fleet Command, as they tackle an unknown evil. Originally launched on Quest last year, it's making its debut on SteamVR on October 23, and you can check out the launch trailer below.

Traditionally a flatscreen series, Homeworld: Vast Reaches adapts the controls for VR, allowing players to immerse themselves in their space war strategies up close and from 'any angle.' Using a virtual command module located on your wrist, clever tacticians can create ships and direct formations in your search for victory. In addition to visual improvements, the SteamVR version introduces new Challenge Levels designed to test experienced players.

“When we launched on Meta Quest initially, some core strategy players reported they had mastered the gameplay in Vast Reaches and wanted harder missions, so we built three new Challenge Levels for this new version with them in mind,” said FarBridge Creative Director Richard Rouse. “Get ready!”

In our {LINK REMOVED}previous impressions on Quest, we felt Homeworld: Vast Reaches maintained the strategic depth and storytelling chops of its predecessors.

“This new adventure successfully translates the complex, strategic gameplay of the Homeworld series, all while bringing the franchise into a new and immersive medium, making Vast Reaches a standout title in the VR RTS genre and one that we feel is a must-play for both fans of the long-running series and newcomers to VR and MR gaming.”

Homeworld: Vast Reaches launches on Steam on October 23, and it's out now on {LINK REMOVED}Quest.

Quest 3 & 3S Are Now Used On SteamVR More Than Quest 2

2 October - Syndicated News | 0 Comments

[img]{LINK REMOVED}[/img]
Quest 3 and Quest 3S are now used for SteamVR more than Quest 2, ending the headset's more than 4-year dominance on Valve's platform.

On Valve's Steam Hardware & Software Survey for September, the combined share of "Meta Quest 3" and "Meta Quest 3S" usage is now 34.6%, exceeding the 26.17% of Quest 2.

We put those product names in quotes because SteamVR sees Quest 3S headsets as "Meta Quest 3" when using Meta's official Quest Link feature and Guy Godin's Virtual Desktop. As far as we can tell, the "Meta Quest 3S" entry only represents Quest 3S headsets connected using Valve's official {LINK REMOVED}Steam Link.

As such, the most accurate thing we can say here is that the Quest 3 family of headsets were used by 34.6% of SteamVR users in September, making them the most used headset type.

Quest 3 and Quest 3S take the throne from Quest 2, which had held the #1 spot since March 2021, around five months after it launched. That same month, {LINK REMOVED}Facebook said that Quest 2 had already outsold all previous Oculus headsets combined, and it {LINK REMOVED}went on to sell over 20 million units, {LINK REMOVED}becoming the "the first mainstream VR headset".

Of course, PC VR is only a subset of Quest headset usage, and most buyers use the headsets entirely standalone. And while earlier this year Meta said that the number of active Quest users is higher than it ever been, the company also has reported declining Quest headset sales for both quarters of this year so far. The company is set to report its Q3 results at the end of this month.

Overall, PC VR Continues To Stagnate

Overall, since Valve started recording any headset used on SteamVR in the past month rather than just currently connected via USB at the time of the survey in April 2020, the percentage of Steam users using a VR headset of any kind on their PC has declined.

This time period has also seen a massive increase in the number of Chinese Steam users. Headsets like Meta Quest and Valve Index aren't officially sold in China, and a huge portion of Chinese Steam usage is believed to come from PC gaming cafes, where a headset wouldn't be connected ever. So at UploadVR we also adjust the data to account for the increase in Chinese Steam users.

But even after doing so, overall VR usage on Steam has remained stagnant over the past five years, relative to the growth of PC gaming in general.

The reasons for this are open to debate, and likely complex, but that it has coincided with a {LINK REMOVED} {LINK REMOVED} in standalone VR {LINK REMOVED} suggests it's something inherent to PC VR or the habits and desires of PC gamers in general.

It's unclear what, if anything, could see SteamVR usage grow in the foreseeable future. Over the past four years Valve has {LINK REMOVED} {LINK REMOVED} that it's working on a new headset, {LINK REMOVED} that it will have a focus on wireless streaming from your PC, and last month it {LINK REMOVED} a "Steam Frame" trademark, which references to have been found in SteamVR code. But we don't yet know when Valve's next headset might actually arrive, nor what kind of price it will target.
