The results of the hardware and software survey ( hwsurvey ), regularly published by Steam every month, have been announced for October 2021. According to the data, approximately one in three users (35%) on the virtual reality gaming platform SteamVR uses an Oculus Quest 2. No significant change is observed in the usage rates of other brands and models.

When we also take into account all other headsets from Oculus (now known as Meta), the total usage rate on the platform reaches the 60% level. This means that 3 out of every 5 users on SteamVR are in the Meta ecosystem.

Currently, there is no strong alternative in the market that can rival the Oculus Quest 2, operate in a similar price range, and work standalone. However, with the wind of the Metaverse, we are eagerly waiting to see what kind of move Apple, Google, Microsoft, and strong Chinese competitors will make in this dominated market as of 2022.
