Uploaded April 2026 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago
The VR gaming industry is taking another massive hit. This week, we have to talk about the heartbreaking layoffs at Kluge Interactive (the studio behind Synth Riders) and what it means for the future of VR studios.
But the news doesn't stop there. Meta is officially forcing the new "Navigator" UI onto all Quest users (whether you like it or not), Samsung's Galaxy XR just got a massive feature update, Snap is gearing up for an AR war against Meta with Qualcomm, and Steam Link has officially arrived on the Apple Vision Pro! Plus, Andy Weir's 'Project Hail Mary' is getting a Mixed Reality game!
I hope you enjoy this one :D
