Meta and Microsoft are bringing the Xbox Cloud Gaming service to virtual reality, the companies said Tuesday, allowing players to stream hit games into the Quest headsets.
The move is part of a larger effort among the two companies to bring Microsoft’s popular Office productivity apps and Teams meetings service to virtual reality.
