why can i only cloud game fortnite on my vr headset

Hi

Welcome to Microsoft community.

It sounds like you're experiencing some limitations with the games you can play on your Meta Quest 2 through Xbox Cloud Gaming.

As you mentioned being able to play Fortnite, it seems some advancements or unofficial workarounds may have been introduced. Here are some general troubleshooting steps you can try:

1. Check for Updates: Ensure your Xbox Cloud Gaming app, Meta Quest 2 firmware, and any other relevant software are up to date. Sometimes, issues can occur because of outdated software.
   
2. Check Your Internet Connection: Xbox Cloud Gaming requires a stable and strong internet connection. If your connection is weak or inconsistent, it might limit the games you can play.
   
3. Game Compatibility: Not all Xbox games may be compatible with playing on a VR headset. It could be that Fortnite is one of the few games with this compatibility.
   
4. Contact Support: If you're still having issues, consider reaching out to Meta Quest support. They may have more up-to-date information and can guide you through any additional troubleshooting steps.

Well, I don't know anyone personally that wants VR headsets and to be honest I don't see a lot of people asking for it, but I didn't saw Phil saying that the next Xbox will not support VR headsets but they will not put much effort on this matter. Maybe
they can add the support for third party VR headsets like Oculus or the Valve VR. In my opinion they have to put they time and money in more games and other features rather than making a VR headset.

We just purchased a HyperX Cloud Stinger Core headset for our XBox One, and the microphone will NOT work in the game Fortnite. Has anyone else experienced this issue, and if so, what was the fix? It is only happening in Fortnite.
The microphone works fine when plugged into my phone or in XBox Party mode. The sound works in Fortnite, but not the microphone.

Fortnite is the best game ever

I can already immerse my self in a game without a VR headset.

In fact having a headset on my head would probably break my immersion.

I would gladly welcome a VR headset for my gaming pleasure, especially on the 360 or xbox one. I don't know why they haven't tried to jump at the VR market. Sony is making one, and I have a feeling others will jump in to do the same.
