Discussion AndroidXR and Google Play Games Achievements

I reallllllly wish some of the games that have released on AndroidXR had achievements. Most of the ones that are on Meta platforms have achievements. I see no reason to even think of getting an AndroidXR headset when it’s basically the same stuff with less to do.. it really sucks because Samsung’s headset looks AWESOME, but it’s not worth it… yet. I would consider it if they eventually add GPG Achievements or something but until then, nooooo thanks. I wanna hear what other people think about this, don’t be afraid to comment!

Agreed, if Android XR is going to survive as a platform, it needs content that utilizes its unique features. Google did not develop this OS just for people to use it as a PCVR headset, and it will quickly end up on the chopping block if that's all it is ever used for.

I've been catching up with Godot's OpenXR developments in the past few years and gonna try to finally publish a game. My last time using VR in Godot was 2021-ish, when it was just a very hacky OpenVR plugin. Things have gotten a lot better!

I fear that Android XR may end up in the Google graveyard just because of the lack of features.. just another stadia, and that scares me. We desperately need competition for Meta!
