Meta revealed several upcoming games for its VR platforms at today's Connect event. These include ports, updates, and new titles including Iron Man VR and Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners. Microsoft is also bringing Xbox Cloud Gaming to the Meta Quest store. Here's everything that was announced for Meta Quest 2 at the show.

Xbox Cloud Gaming for Quest

Microsoft's Satya Nadella revealed on the show that the company is bringing Xbox Cloud Gaming to the Quest platform. Users will be able to connect Xbox controllers to their Quest headsets and play Game Pass titles in VR like on a big TV screen. Neither Meta nor Microsoft announced a launch window, but promised to reveal more in the future.

Iron Man VR

The first game announced was Iron Man VR, which will launch on Meta Quest 2 on November 3. Originally launching in 2020 for PlayStation VR, the game places players in the titular Tony Stark costume in dogfights. Perhaps more exciting than the Quest 2 port is the announcement that developer Camouflaj is joining Oculus Studios alongside Twisted Pixel and Armature Studios.

The new port looks suspicious - and it will launch on November 10.
