Oculus Quest’s social strategy remains cloudy

The Oculus Quest is less than three weeks away with its May 21 release date fast approaching. The $400 standalone VR headset enables freedom of movement around their environments with complete 6DoF head tracking and positionally tracked controllers. At launch it will feature top-rated VR games such as Beat Saber and Superhot as well as new releases like Dance CentralJourney of the Gods, and more.

Facebook is marketing the Quest as a gaming-first platform, similar to the Oculus Rift, but fans of non-gaming media apps like Netflix, multi-user social hangout spaces like Oculus Rooms, or live event social apps like Oculus Venues, are left wondering about the status of those experiences.
