Roblox rumored to officially arrive on Virtual Reality Headset Meta Quest 2

Roblox has been a hot topic in the online gaming community. Having excelled on consoles, PC and mobile, the platform has set its sights on Virtual Reality. For several years, those who wanted to engage in VR gaming needed to have a PC with third-party applications such as SteamVR or Virtual Desktop with a (separately sold) link cable to access the built-in VR features on the Roblox Player.However, this is all rumored to be changing. Bloxy News, an extremely reliable news account on Twitter, shared a teaser the other day with this caption:&quot;Get ready to experience the metaverse in a new immersive way. Roblox is officially coming to another device soon... can anyone guess what it is?&quot;The tweet included an image depicting the Meta Quest logo with the Roblox symbol in the center, hinting that the platform may soon come to Quest's Dedicated App Store.Bloxy News@Bloxy_NewsGet ready to experience the metaverse in a new, immersive way.#Roblox is officially coming to another device soon... can anyone guess what it is? 🥽3017310Get ready to experience the ✨ metaverse ✨ in a new, immersive way.#Roblox is officially coming to another device soon... can anyone guess what it is? 🥽👀 https://t.co/QhKLo3mHZYRoblox is currently nowhere to be seen on Quest's App StoreMost games on Meta Quest 2 are downloaded directly to its hard drive via the first-party 'App Store.'Meta Quest 2's Home Page (image via Meta Quest 2)Players will find that Roblox is nowhere to be seen in the App Store when searched for, fuelling the community's frustration.yeucc@Yeuc_cI HATE MAKING VR IN ROBLOX ITS SO BAD AND UNDERDEVELOPED FOR A TECHNOLOGY THAT HAS BEEN APART OF ROBLOX FOR 5 YEARS WTFFF16I HATE MAKING VR IN ROBLOX ITS SO BAD AND UNDERDEVELOPED FOR A TECHNOLOGY THAT HAS BEEN APART OF ROBLOX FOR 5 YEARS WTFFFMax ¯\_(ツ)_/¯@MaximumADHD@jack__merrill roblox vr is terrible lol6@jack__merrill roblox vr is terrible lolWhile it is difficult to use Roblox VR in its current state, that has not stopped players from attempting to enjoy it. Content creators in the community have even received millions of hits on YouTube by uploading 'VR' themed content, proving there is an incredible amount of interest in this feature.Exploring what VR has in-store for RobloxIn terms of development on the platform, several VR-enabled games have been created. One game in particular, Realistic Hand RP, even claimed to provide a VR experience without the relevant essentials. While it may sound weird, this game has attracted over 71 million play sessions since its arrival in July 2021.VR-without-the-VR game (image via Roblox)There is obviously something missing here and fortunately, that gap may be getting filled soon. The gaming platform has lately been quiet in terms of updates, silently pushing them out and waiting for the community to pick them up. For example, a few weeks ago, the gaming platform removed the 'welcome message' header. It instead greeted players by including their avatar and username at the top, and simply moving up rows of games on their homepage, essentially making it a second discovery page.RTC@Roblox_RTCRoblox recently launched a minor edit to the Home page.
