popular VR genre**. Beat Saber has 10M+ lifetime sales and the F2P base is the fastest-growing in VR.

The 3 limitations of Quest 3
F2P games
- **Most Quest 3 F2P games
are F2P-with-subscription** (Supernatural, FitXR, Rec Room+). The pure F2P selection is smaller than on PC or mobile.
- **The Quest 3's mobile
chipset limits graphics** compared to PC VR. The trade-off is wireless freedom; the cost is simpler visuals.
- **The Quest 3 F2P
community is small** compared to other platforms. Rec Room Quest 3 has 100K+ DAU; Rec Room PC has 1M+ DAU. The PC VR player base is 5-10x larger.
