Maybe it is a stupid question, but I was wondering if there is a clear/easy way to check if a game supports cross-buy between Rift and Quest. I cannot find a tag/key in the Oculus store that clearly show this information.
In the Rift or Quest store, look at the supported platforms--cross-buy titles list both Rift and Quest, non-cross-buy titles only list the platform you're looking at, i.e. Quest or Rift.
Example:
i7 5820K @ 4.25GHz | RTX 3080 Ti FTW3 | Gigabyte GA-X99-UD4 | Corsair DDR4 3000 32GB | Corsair HX 750W SSDs: Intel 660p M.2 2TB, 3x Samsung Evo 1TB | Startech PCIe 4x USB 3.0 | Startech PCIe 2x USB C 3.1 gen2
No, they don't support Go cross buy for some reason.
(Also, note about my above link: I don't know if that's all the cross buy titles, it just says a "selection". So all those are cross buy, but they might not be every cross buy available)
There are some Go apps that you can directly use on the Quest, though... here’s a list. They also did a limited-time offer of giving Quest owners the Quest version of apps that they owned on the Go platform. I got several games added to my Quest library through it, but you had to claim them before the end of 2019, I believe.
i7 5820K @ 4.25GHz | RTX 3080 Ti FTW3 | Gigabyte GA-X99-UD4 | Corsair DDR4 3000 32GB | Corsair HX 750W SSDs: Intel 660p M.2 2TB, 3x Samsung Evo 1TB | Startech PCIe 4x USB 3.0 | Startech PCIe 2x USB C 3.1 gen2
Yeah, that cross-buy section of the Quest store is weird. The link has been posted here several times, but I can't find any way to discover it on the store--it doesn't show up as a category or a search result.
i7 5820K @ 4.25GHz | RTX 3080 Ti FTW3 | Gigabyte GA-X99-UD4 | Corsair DDR4 3000 32GB | Corsair HX 750W SSDs: Intel 660p M.2 2TB, 3x Samsung Evo 1TB | Startech PCIe 4x USB 3.0 | Startech PCIe 2x USB C 3.1 gen2
One important thing to remember, check both Rift and Quest stores. They don't always have the same prices!
For example, Creed: Rise To Glory is cross buy. But it's $34au on the Rift store and $47au on the Quest store.
Another confusion, checking the web store page for the supported platforms isn't always correct.
The Room VR (which is cool by the way) is listed on the rift web store as "Supported Platforms Rift, Rift S" and on the quest web store as "Supported Platforms Quest".
But if you go to the oculus mobile app store or the oculus desktop app store it lists the game as "Supported Platforms Rift, Rift S, Quest" and it appears in the cross buy list.
(It is cross buy, I have it on both rift and quest)
Surely all the stores are coming from one database, how are they inconsistent between web and app? Annoying.
