Wow, this looks amazing. I am super excited to play it. I have a pretty beefy PC. Is there any benefit in playing it on steam and streaming to my quest, or is the quest native as high quality?

I’m happy to say that I have trouble recommending one version over another. We’ve optimised the experience for each one. Your PC in all likelyhood has more raw horsepower, which we do use in various ways. But the Quest version comes with its own advantages in terms of autonomy and ease of use, the Quest 3 especially is a great piece of hardware that I’m excited for more people to get their hands on.
Of course standalone is easier. But if you have a quest 3, would you get the best experience with streaming the PC version? Or are the graphics kinda the same?

I have a quest 3 and 4090. I prefer playing on the quest itself however if the PC version looks better I'd use that. Hence the question (though I'm not the person who asked first)

There are a couple answers in this interview with the game’s director, Paul van der Meer, and art director, Jeroen Backx that might help you make up your mind on this.

Thanks - that makes it clear that the PC definition is definitive. Ill get that and stream to my quest :)
Thanks that's clear! I'll get the PC version. After all I'm lucky to have a 4090. I think I would prefer the more atmospheric realistic look.
