Buying companies isn't something you can do quietly as a publicly traded organization.

I think we're going to see a bunch of "ports" for PS VR for existing games like Gran Turismo 7.

Oh I got you. I misread at as current Sony studios weren't investing. Yeah I think something like gt7 in full vr would be colossal.

Listening to some of John Carmack's comments, RE4VR was the test bed to see if a high-quality internal game could drive headset adoption and usage. Apparently, it was a run-away success, so Meta is investing. GTA:SA VR is their next big project, but I haven't seen too much on that yet.

Thats what got me to buy it.

I hope that means GTA6 will have a VR mode

It's possible, but I doubt GTA:SA VR will have much baring on that. I doubt GTA:SA VR will be handled by Rockstar given they didn't have a hand in the Definitive Edition re-releases. With that said, VR mods are getting better all the time. If Rockstar doesn't include VR, modders will.

Is there another example outside of Bungie from a decade and a half ago?

one mentioned in the op’s story.

Ex Retro / Metroid Prime devs.

Any chance of seeing this version of RE4 VR on PSVR2? I know they’ll release something VR with the remake but I would love to see the Quest version on PSVR2.

Always a chance but seems less likely now. We'll have to see I guess.

Don't really want companies like Meta buying up existing multiplatform studios.

For a growing market as small as VR, buying studios to make exclusive games doesn't really help the overall VR market.

Meta is big enough and rich enough to build devs studios from the ground up to make first-party VR exclusives for their platform. They're a dedicated software company. They have an endless supply of talented grads available from some of the best tech universities in the world. They should be pushing to provide funding partnerships with start-up indie dev teams that they nurture and eventually acquire.

Their economic wealth allows them to take these risks.

Don’t worry, they are going to release their games on PSVR2. In fact Beat Saber is coming to PSVR2
