Oh I have the 128 gig quest 2 and bonelab take up a whole 50 gigabytes with all my mods so the storage upgrade will be great!

what games would you recommend that really takes advantage of the hardware upgrade (I bet some stupid laggy vrchat worlds will run better, looking at you Popcorn Palace)

There are small bits in Asgard's Wrath 2 which take advantage of the colour passthrough, that won't happen if you play on Q2.

Actually, there isn't a ton of games supporting MR, but for those that do the new passthrough is awesome.

Honestly I couldn’t really tell a huge difference in the two devices playing the same games. Granted, I didn’t play games like Batman or Deadpool on the 2 that are supposedly too demanding for the 2, so maybe newer games in the last year do require more power than the 3 had?

Both of those games play very well on the 3 with no issues. I have a legit copy of Batman and a pirated copy of Deadpool, for reference.

I never had any issues on the 2 and anything like crashing or stuttering playing natively.

There was one game I remember was locked to the 3 that I tried a pirated copy on the 2 and I couldn’t really tell a difference. I’m trying to find out what the name of it was because I can’t remember. I just remember it was this game that used pass through to shoot enemies in the real world. Besides the difference between color and black and white, it didn’t lag or anything like that on my 2 even though it was locked officially from working on the 2. That made me feel like some of these games were locked away more so to force you to upgrade than for any real hardware reason.

For reference, I play mostly offline single player games and mostly shooters like Pavlov and Contractors and casual games like I Am Cat. I feel like the experience is generally the same across these two devices when remembering playing on the 2 versus the 3.

But like you said, the extra storage is good for mods. Contractors has a ton of mods I take advantage of and the extra space is much appreciated for that.

Granted I didn’t play any MMO type of games on either headset. I played VRChat and Metaverse once or twice, but not enough to notice any severe lagging. It could be possible that those take more.

I love Pavlov, I was going to buy it after the free beta ended but I never got around to it :(
