Meta announced in April of last year that it was preparing to release Horizon OS, its Quest-exclusive operating system, to third-party headsets for the first time. XR devices running Horizon OS were set to arrive from ASUS, Lenovo, and Xbox, although Meta has  remained tightlipped about the headsets since. Now, a report from trusted serial leaker ‘Luna‘ points to Asus being the first out of the gate.

PowerWash Simulator garnered viral success when it launched on Steam Early Access in 2021, prompting developer FuturLab to not only add a mountain of DLC to the game, but also port the flatscreen hit to a standalone VR title. Now, the studio says it’s shelving PowerWash Simulator VR (2023) only 14 months since its launch on Quest.

Sanzaru Games, the studio behind the Asgard’s Wrath franchise, have released the final content update to Quest exclusive Asgard’s Wrath 2 (2023). Now the studio says it’s moving on the “next big thing”.

Stress Level Zero’s physics-based sandbox follow-up BONELAB (2022) has done spectacularly well on Quest, although the studio still hasn’t brought its award-winning physics action puzzler BONEWORKS (2019) to Meta’s latest standalone hardware generation. That’s about to change.
