What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.<\/p>\n
Since the launch of the Oculus Quest 2<\/a> just 3 days ago, developers from all over the spectrum of VR gaming are reporting a significant spike in sales. From big names to smaller indie studios, the Oculus Quest 2<\/a> is having a huge impact on game sales and, ultimately, the success of the VR industry.<\/p>\n Specifically, we’re seeing reports from studios like Cloudhead Games, makers of Pistol Whip, showing an 10x increase in sales. The Curious Tale of the Stolen Pets<\/em> and Apex Construct<\/em> developer Fast Travel Games is seeing an 800% spike<\/a> in sales, while Angry Birds VR<\/em> and Blaston<\/em> developer Resolution Games cites a 500% jump<\/a>.<\/p>\n VERY happy to report, we’ve seen a 10X increase in Pistol Whip sales since the launch of Quest 2. This is an incredible sign for the VR industry in general!

That’s a big deal because the SideQuest marketplace can only be used after players have gone through additional steps to sideload it onto their Oculus Quest<\/a>, showing that players are hungry for as much content as they can possibly get.<\/p>\n These numbers are important, not just because they are increased sales for developers who rely on a platform’s success, but because it means that lots of new players are joining the fray. After all, if you were already invested in the VR ecosystem and were interested in these games, you probably would have already owned a copy. Additional sales also benefit gamers, as it means increased attention can be paid to games, enhancing them with better graphics<\/a> on the Oculus Quest 2 and maybe even providing new content, as well. Now that’s something to get excited about.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Gaming like you’ve never experienced<\/p>\n Facebook has improved seemingly everything with the second-generation Oculus Quest, making this the VR console to get.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.<\/p>\n What you need to know<\/p>\n VR game developers are seeing as high as a 10x increase in sales since the launch of the Oculus Quest 2.
