A new UI is always an exciting yet frustrating one, on one hand, you have to figure out where all the buttons are again, on the other hand, the Meta Quest 3 looks fresh and new. We go through our impressions of the UI, what we love and what needs fixing. Elsewhere, Dan goes Demo hunting and tries Racket Pinball and Just One Man. Samson tests out Flag Games and dances to Dua Lipa. Finally Dan jumps in to ArtQuestVR for an immersive experience.  LTO Discord: https://discord.gg/WUUQyHZpTh  LTO Patreon: https://Patreon.com/letstalkoculus Affiliate Links: META QUEST 3S: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/AZAbLMwn6 META QUEST 3: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/5JNKhtiiy RAYBAN Meta Wayfarer: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/JPJtgK6LP RAYBAN Meta Headliner: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/87vVR1nRY QUEST 3 Carrying Case: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/EVzw35SBE Elite Strap with Battery: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/9F1EXS9wH Elite Strap: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/FuGn77L91 Charging Dock: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/9RC9HEGq8 Silicone Facial Interface: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/5DTVX8pub Active Straps: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/7Qhfo4FXn LTO Posters: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1JhuvaqbxtJmO-io4lvoU4tN9B4CemspK?usp=drive_link VR COVER: https://vrcover.com Use code: PlayTestVR for 10% off EVERYTHING          Quest Referral Spreadsheet...over 150 games!: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kssKH2L8cSZCwbJ2S6aZQwvbIZsjZ0s1UcCHKotJ3ic/edit?usp=sharing            Want to be part of the show?

So many great single player games came out for Quest 2, Medal of Honor, Assassins Creed 2, even for Quest 3, like Arken Age. However, these games don’t look as good as their PCVR counterparts, until the Quest Games Optimizer. It enhances the look of your games on Quest 3 and it’s really easy to use. Elsewhere, Samson travels to NYC to check out “An Ark” which is an Augmented Reality Theatre Experience.  LTO Discord: https://discord.gg/WUUQyHZpTh  LTO Patreon: https://Patreon.com/letstalkoculus Quest Games Optimizer https://www.quest-games-optimizer.com Affiliate Links: META QUEST 3S: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/AZAbLMwn6 META QUEST 3: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/5JNKhtiiy RAYBAN Meta Wayfarer: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/JPJtgK6LP RAYBAN Meta Headliner: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/87vVR1nRY QUEST 3 Carrying Case: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/EVzw35SBE Elite Strap with Battery: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/9F1EXS9wH Elite Strap: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/FuGn77L91 Charging Dock: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/9RC9HEGq8 Silicone Facial Interface: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/5DTVX8pub Active Straps: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/7Qhfo4FXn LTO Posters: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1JhuvaqbxtJmO-io4lvoU4tN9B4CemspK?usp=drive_link VR COVER: https://vrcover.com Use code: PlayTestVR for 10% off EVERYTHING          Quest Referral Spreadsheet...over 150 games!: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kssKH2L8cSZCwbJ2S6aZQwvbIZsjZ0s1UcCHKotJ3ic/edit?usp=sharing            Want to be part of the show?

Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond is one of the most expensive VR projects to date, available on PCVR and Meta Quest, it’s a game that got hit with a bad launch. Fast forward 5 years, does it play better now? Does it hold up? And is it a VR hidden gem, which is often overlooked due to its poor initial launch? You’re damn right it is, we dive deep into the history of this game, and how it plays today in 2026, it’s a VR masterpiece.  PlaytestVR Related Videos: Rise and Fall: https://youtu.be/FxkCMoCCubE?si=ZU5jzRiF6P1WctRP Running on Mac: https://youtu.be/91ch6y2J7wU?si=gDmijFvh2kxLhw7C LTO Discord: ⁠https://discord.gg/WUUQyHZpTh⁠  LTO Patreon: ⁠https://Patreon.com/letstalkoculus⁠ Affiliate Links: META QUEST 3S: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/AZAbLMwn6 META QUEST 3: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/5JNKhtiiy RAYBAN Meta Wayfarer: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/JPJtgK6LP RAYBAN Meta Headliner: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/87vVR1nRY QUEST 3 Carrying Case: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/EVzw35SBE Elite Strap with Battery: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/9F1EXS9wH Elite Strap: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/FuGn77L91 Charging Dock: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/9RC9HEGq8 Silicone Facial Interface: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/5DTVX8pub Active Straps: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/7Qhfo4FXn LTO Posters: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1JhuvaqbxtJmO-io4lvoU4tN9B4CemspK?usp=drive_link VR COVER: https://vrcover.com Use code: PlayTestVR for 10% off EVERYTHING          Quest Referral Spreadsheet...over 150 games!: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kssKH2L8cSZCwbJ2S6aZQwvbIZsjZ0s1UcCHKotJ3ic/edit?usp=sharing            Want to be part of the show?

In 2026 there is so much choice for gaming, whether it is being immersed in your favorite VR title, playing some couch co-op on PS5, cozy nights with a handheld or going back to retro games. So much choice, so little time, so where does VR fit in all of that for us? We go through all the gaming devices we own and play, and where they fit in our rotation. Finally, we have some more questions to get to know us at the end!

Batman Arkham Shadow 2 is officially canceled, it really is over for Meta VR Gaming, and that’s okay? I think… Elsewhere a listener asks us “what are some rewarding VR games like Hitman?” And we try our best to answer with 6 games! Crafting Crimes shows us what VR is all about and Samson plays Dispatch on Big Screen.

UPDATE: BATMAN ARKHAM SHADOW 2 IS ALSO CANCELLED... Meta begin to pull out of VR Gaming. Layoffs have unfortunately been a common occurrence in the tech industry, but this one has sent ripples through the VR community. What is Meta’s plan moving forward? Is this the beginning of the end for them, and will we be all turning to the Steam Frame for the foreseeable? In brighter news, the best VR game, Walkabout Mini Golf, is at it again with a fantastic new course, Tiki á Coco, it might actually be one of their best yet.  LTO Discord: https://discord.gg/WUUQyHZpTh  LTO Patreon: https://Patreon.com/letstalkoculus Affiliate Links: META QUEST 3S: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/AZAbLMwn6 META QUEST 3: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/5JNKhtiiy RAYBAN Meta Wayfarer: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/JPJtgK6LP RAYBAN Meta Headliner: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/87vVR1nRY QUEST 3 Carrying Case: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/EVzw35SBE Elite Strap with Battery: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/9F1EXS9wH Elite Strap: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/FuGn77L91 Charging Dock: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/9RC9HEGq8 Silicone Facial Interface: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/5DTVX8pub Active Straps: https://www.meta.com/affiliates/7Qhfo4FXn LTO Posters: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1JhuvaqbxtJmO-io4lvoU4tN9B4CemspK?usp=drive_link VR COVER: https://vrcover.com Use code: PlayTestVR for 10% off EVERYTHING          Quest Referral Spreadsheet...over 150 games!: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kssKH2L8cSZCwbJ2S6aZQwvbIZsjZ0s1UcCHKotJ3ic/edit?usp=sharing            Want to be part of the show?
