However, if you are interested in the Quest port, you can find more information here: www.powerbeatsvr.com/oculusquest But now back to PCVR: After the upcoming update, which is going to align all our platforms, you'll receive the same updates as all other platforms. So, don't worry. We won't abandon our Steam users ;-). This is the platform that started everything! So, thank you all for your patience! Cheers, the devs
