Insomniac’s VR titles delisted, casting a shadow over the technology
1 min read
Summary
Insomniac Games’ VR titles like The Edge of Nowhere and Stormland have been removed from the Meta store, apparently without explanation or notice.
As the titles were published by Oculus Studios, it is unlikely that Insomniac unilaterally decided to delist them.
The fact it took so long for anyone to notice their disappearance suggests the issues with creating and marketing VR games, as well as the lack of appetite for back catalogues when the focus is on multiplayer titles and new games.
With VR technology evolving and splitting into mainstream and enthusiast options, there is doubt as to whether the gaming side of VR can sustain long-term titles.
Developers are advised to pay close attention to how VR technology works and fits into gaming as a whole to ensure new titles aren’t delisted without notice.
