Population: One Will Cease Quest 1 Support in October

Population: One Will Cease Quest 1 Support in October
August 4, 2022 by Colin Laurencelle

As of October 31st, 2022, owners of the original Quest 1 headset won’t be able to play or download the popular battle royal natively. BigBox Vr announce that in order to move the game forward, Quest 1 support was longer a viable solution and is holding the game back from “nextgen features and tech”.

We're building BIG POP1 experiences that'll push the boundaries of multiplayer VR. To focus our efforts on nextgen features and tech, we're ending Quest 1 support on Oct. 31, 2022. Players can continue their progress on other supported devices

If you purchased a copy of Population: One within the last 6 months and do not own a Quest 2, you will be eligible for a refund BigBox says.

Although not entirely surprising. This seems to be the beginning of the end of Quest 1 support for games. However, users will still have access to the game via Link or Airlink since Population: One is a cross-buy game. That is, if you have a PC that can play it.

While games like Resident Evil 4 VR have been released as Quest 2 exclusives, this marks the first game to completely cease support of the Quest 1 hardware post-release.

Will more developers follow in BigBox’s footsteps in the name of progress? We’ll soon find out.
