Dear players! It’s done!
We are super excited to announce that PowerBeatsVR has just made its release on Oculus Quest App Lab featuring almost all PCVR features (except for direct Bluetooth and ANT+ heart rate monitor support), further improvements, and buttery smooth graphics for the Oculus Quest 1 & 2.
You can grab it here: https://www.oculus.com/experiences/quest/4336749139724039/
We hope that PowerBeatsVR can be a great and affordable alternative to subscription-based apps or even the gym, and will help many people in becoming fit or fitter, getting in shape, or staying there.
Enjoy the Quest release, and thank you all for making this happen!
