October 01, 2026: UploadVR’s October release roundup covers Quest, PC VR, and PS VR2, putting the month’s most practical questions in one place: which headsets are supported, when each release arrives, what it costs, and whether it deserves an install or merely a spot on a wishlist. The supplied roundup does not establish individual game titles, prices, launch dates, or platform support beyond that cross-platform scope.

That broad coverage makes the October roundup useful as an availability check rather than a promise about any particular release. Players comparing Quest, PC VR, and PS VR2 can use it to narrow down which announcements are relevant to their hardware and which details still need attention before they install, buy, or wishlist anything.
The key distinction is between a release being announced and a release being immediately useful to a particular player. Supported headsets, launch timing, and price can change the decision even when the game itself looks appealing. The roundup is therefore a starting point for sorting October’s VR schedule by access and timing.
Quest development and platform updates
A Meta VR CLI command simulates a narrower view
Source: MIXED Reality News
MIXED Reality News reports that the command metavr device fov-sim enable can mask a Quest down to a 70-by-66-degree field of view. The stated purpose is practical: a developer can use the simulation to see what an app loses when viewed through the narrower field of view associated with Meta VR Glasses, a headset that does not exist yet.
That makes the command a development aid rather than a consumer-facing hardware update. It gives developers a way to inspect an app under the supplied simulated conditions and consider how its interface or visual layout behaves when less of the scene is visible. The value here is visibility into a future target, not a claim that current Quest hardware has changed.
Meta’s v60 update adds three features
Source: Mashable
Mashable describes Meta’s v60 update as adding three new features and rolling out to Quest 2, Quest 3, and Quest Pro. The source packet does not identify those features, so the update is best understood here as a platform release with broader device coverage rather than a list of specific improvements.
That distinction matters when reading update headlines. The supplied evidence confirms the update’s name, its three-feature count, and the Quest models included in the rollout. It does not establish that v60 fixes a particular weakness, substantially changes any device, or offers a lasting reason to upgrade.
Mashable compares Quest 3 and Apple Vision Pro
Source: Mashable
Mashable’s comparison says Apple Vision Pro may be better for AR, while presenting Quest 3 as stronger for gaming. The wording is important: this is Mashable’s comparison, not a settled universal ranking. It frames the choice around what a buyer wants from a headset, with gaming and AR treated as different priorities.
Mashable also characterizes the Quest 3 as “practically a Quest 3.5 now” in connection with the new update. That description belongs to the source’s framing. The confirmed platform detail supplied here is that v60 is rolling out to Quest 2, Quest 3, and Quest Pro with three new features; the packet does not provide the features themselves.
Animal Company expands the Factory map
Source: MIXED Reality News
Animal Company’s version 1.93.0 update adds two additional areas to the Factory and introduces a quest involving three Factory bosses. The timing gives the update some useful context: it arrived six days after the map launched with two areas locked.
For players already following the Factory map, the update turns previously locked content into part of the available progression described by the source. The boss quest also gives the new areas a concrete objective, rather than presenting them only as additional spaces to explore. No further rewards, mechanics, or release details are supplied in the packet.
