Pirate adventure coming to SteamVR & Meta Quest

The Pirate Queen: A Forgotten Legend has been announced for SteamVR and Meta Quest 2 for early 2024. This means that the VR game will also be playable on Meta Quest 3, which will be released later this year.

The successor to the Quest 2 mobile VR headset is fully backwards compatible and was surprisingly announced via an Instagram post on Mark Zuckerberg's channel during the Meta Gaming Showcase 2023.
