IT Home reported on November 2 that, according to foreign media outlet Road to VR, a simulator called Venture has recently emerged that lets players use PC VR to run games exclusive to the Meta Quest standalone headset.
According to the report, unlike similar projects such as the previously released Android XR Bridge and Refract, users do not need to wrestle with GitHub code repositories. They only need to download the Windows executable provided by Venture, log in to their Meta account, and download and install games on their local PC to run them through any PC VR headset that supports OpenXR.
On the technical side, Venture uses Google's open-source graphics abstraction library ANGLE to render games on a PC's GPU through the OpenGL ES interface. The project is also compatible with games developed using the older Oculus VrApi, allowing them to run through OpenXR without modifying the games themselves. As a result, it supports not only newer 64-bit games but also some older 32-bit ARM games.
Games currently confirmed to work with Venture include major titles such as Asgard's Wrath 2, Assassin's Creed Nexus VR, and Batman: Arkham Shadow.
The foreign media outlet said that because the project requires users to log in to their own Meta accounts, they should fully assess the potential risks before using it, and it does not currently recommend trying Venture without careful consideration.
