Developer Downpour Interactive and publisher Coatsink (we love Coatsink for bringing us the fantastic Shadow Point, one of our highest rated puzzlers on Quest) announced that Onward will be out for Quest on the 30th, and priced at $24.99 RRP.
While the Quest’s graphics obviously can’t match the PCVR version, the screenshots we’ve seen so far are very promising

I suspect that this is simply a measure of how many Quest users have VR-capable PCs

Weren't these games been ported to the Oculus Quest before the link cable was even mentioned? If Oculus Quest link is PC/VR in future then there wouldn't be a need for devs to even port their games for mobile use. I mean it would already be both PC-VR and mobile ready.

So, No, to everything you just said.😛

Also when was the link cable announced? Because Onward has been getting ported over to Oulus Quest since mid 2019.

I have no idea what Oculus are going to do. You can already play top notch PC -VR games using Oculus Quest and link according to some people on this forum. I haven't tried the Oculus Quest myself though to see how well it works.
You posted asking the question "If Quest Link is the end of Rift/PCVR then why all the ports". I just gave you what I thought could be a reason, but off-course I have no idea what Oculus are planning to do, nobody does until they announce something.

You tried saying that the Onward dev's worked on this last year, but that doesn't really answer the question at all since Link was released last year. The Onward dev's could have stopped to save time and money. And you didn't answer my question about the In Death developers.
What if another PCVR developer starts the process of porting their games to Quest right this very minute. Today. Why do you think they would do that?

So that it appeals to a larger amount of people rather then just have it on PC -VR. Some multiplayer games would also benefit from this because once a multiplayer game dries up, then people are less inclined to buy the game. Which recent PC -VR games are currently being ported to Oculus Quest?
