Hello I recently saw that Asgard's Warth along with other games are now on the quest store both the phone app and in headset store. I was super excited about this as I had always wanted to play it but don't have a VR ready pc but with the announcement of the sequel coming to quest 2 and 3 I hoped that the first would soon come as well this to me seemed to be confirmed when I saw the game in the store when before it wasn't there. Why would it be in the store if it's not playable, what do I need to play it, how can the sequel be playable but not the first, is this just a bug that will be fixed, will the games ever come out for quest 2 or 3?
Asgard's Wrath is only in the Rift store, not the Quest store.
To play it on a Quest you need to use Link, Airlink or Virtual Desktop to connect your Quest to a gaming PC. This effectively turns the Quest into a Rift and lets you play PCVR games (but only while connected to the PC. The game itself runs on the PC and streams the VR view to the headset over USB or wifi).
The reason AW1 doesn't work on the Quest but AW2 will is because porting a game that was built for PCVR to a weaker system like a Quest 2 means rebuilding and a lot of optimisation. Getting a good looking game to run at an acceptable rate can be a lot of work. Whereas AW2 was made with Quests in mind, so they were optimising it from the start.
