    I only play PCVR games and i can tell you we are still in a very early stage or development and we need a lot more power. New headsets coming out with insane display resolutions make games need way more power and the games are getting bigger and look better. I’m lucky i need a beefy PC for both work and play so it’s a necessary expense for me anyway.
