If you were hoping for the Rift-exclusive team shooter Echo Combat (2018) to eventually make its way to Quest after developers Ready at Dawn ported the zero-G sports game Echo VR, you’d better not hold your breath.

“To put it simply, we are not working on bringing Echo Combat to Quest. If there are any changes in the future, we’ll let you know at that time,” the studio says in a recent update.

Granted, you can play Echo Combat on Quest provided you have a Link cable and VR-ready PC, but that’s little solace to Quest users stuck behind the invisible wall as their fellow competitors on Rift fly off to gear up for team shooting action.

“Right now we’re focused on new features and tools for Echo VR, some of which have been in the works for a while whereas others are newer but vital to ensuring the game is fun and welcoming for all Echo Units,” the studio concludes.

While the game’s sportier half is free on both Quest and Rift, Echo Combat is a paid game on Rift, priced at $10 as an in-app purchase. It’s possible Ready at Dawn simply can’t dedicate the time to the lengthy beta testing that it did with Echo VR on Quest; the company’s sequel to Lone Echo (2017) has been delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic, which may explain some of their reasoning behind the lack of Echo Combat on Quest.

    Yeah, no worries, we are waiting for Lone Echo 2 way more :)

    Please could you post a full list of games not coming to the Quest?

    I have not heard that the unannounced VR patch for Cyberpunk 2077 isn’t coming to the Quest so will be disappointed when it is confirmed.

    • you realize the Quest could in no way handle that game in it’s current state, right?

      • CharlieSayNo

        Noooooo! all my dreams are shattered…

        It’s almost as if the Quest is running a different OS on a mobile chipset.

        • Chankler

          It does. It run on android lol.

      It’s a natural thing to want/expect a game like Echo VR to be ported to Quest in its entirety if the first part was already ported and it uses the same engine on PC and similar level of graphical complexity on PC. So it is prudent to mention if that second part of Echo VR is getting ported or not. It’s not an entirely unrelated matter.

  • everybody, say it together: MISSED OPPORTUNITY

  • ItisI

    This is stupid why can’t Echo combat be supported with the quest and quest 2. They are leaving us quest users left out!
