Nuked bigbox VR, the meta-owned developer behind the game, shared the update in a post on its blog. Quest 1 owners will no longer be able to launch or play the game starting October 31, 2022.
Quest 1 players can still technically play the game if they have a VR-ready PC. The game supports cross-buy, which makes the PC version available via air link and Oculus link.
You had to have purchased the game from the quest store within the past six months. The policy seems kind of unfair for a game that launched on the quest nearly two years ago.
One’s shutdown raises the question of whether other developers will soon end support for the three-year-old quest 1. Meta declined to comment further when asked whether any other games will end quest 1 support in the near future.
The quest 2 will soon leave quest 1 owners with one less game to play. Meta could be raising the price to stem the losses its virtual reality arm reported in both the first and second quarter of 2022.
