Plex Is Giving up on Its VR Apps

There are Plex apps for nearly every machine imaginable, but now Plex is dropping support for VR platforms.

This decision was not made lightly, and overall low usage played a major role in our decision process.

Additionally, these platforms are either currently not, or soon will not be, supported by their manufacturers.

Google Daydream was Googles phone-based VR platform,initially released in 2016.

Google stopped certifying new devices for Daydream in 2019, and only a handful of phones were ever supported.

Gear VRwas Samsungs early VR platform, dating back to 2014, using the same smartphone-in-headset approach.

Theres no Plex app for Meta Quest headsets, PC VR, or PlayStation VR.

Heres hoping Plex eventually releases a new app for modern VR headsets.
