Dear players!
It has been a while since our last update on Steam, but now it's finally here: You can now enjoy all improvements that we've made during the Oculus Quest port here on Steam as well. You can see the complete list of changes further below. Sorry for the delay. We are now back on track!
From now on, both platforms share the same codebase and are almost identical - except for slightly better graphics and heart rate monitor support on PCVR. Future updates will be published on all platforms likewise.
Btw, here is our new trailer showing you some changes already:
Thank you all for your patience! As always, feel free to share your feedback in our Discord channel or here in the Steam community, vote on user requests, or add your own ideas on our new feedback board. We highly appreciate all your help in making PowerBeatsVR one of the best VR fitness games!
Btw, comments and reviews on Steam are also much appreciated and would make our day <3
Enjoy the update, and thanks for being part of this community!
Cheers,
the devs
