Porting games to more traditional platforms has a host of challenges, which can vary wildly depending on what platform the original game was built for, where it’s being ported to, and the target platform’s power. These are important considerations no matter what the game porting project is, but there are more intricacies when it comes to porting to VR platforms to VR platforms like Oculus Quest and Meta Quest 2.
