A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

The latest Bigscreen update adds in support for using push to talk on PCVR headsets. Previously this was only available on standalone Quest headsets. The button to use for push to talk when enabled is B or Y equivalents for most controllers and with controllers primarily using a touchpad, the bottom quadrant. Also in this update, we added two new options into the Bigscreen settings menu: Push to mute - similar to push to talk but the behavior is inverted. Hide avatar arms - this hides your avatar arms in only your point of view. This option is at the bottom of Settings > Visuals & Lighting. If
Over the past few years, we have been continuously investing in research & development in VR optics for current and next-generation VR devices.

The new technology has been successfully implemented in production, and Beyond remains on track for a Q3 ship date for the first wave of customers in the United States. Every Beyond customer will receive the following improvements, incl
This release adds a laying tilt feature on all platforms for cases of using Bigscreen while laying in bed. This option will allow you to tilt your virtual view downwards while laying face-upward.

We're thrilled to announce the launch of our brand new Avatar 2.0 system. We have spent the past few years completely redesigning our avatars from scratch. This involved rethinking their visuals and redesigning and rebuilding the entire avatar system from the ground up. 🤖Our new avatar system comes with several new features: Much lower system requirements, which means more avatars can be rendered in a single space, including on mobile VR headsets like the Quest 💪Arms with IK motion 🦒Necks that give your avatar more realistic movement 🎀 A much more robust accessories system for more granula
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/23550294/f851bebca2c7408a063470f76a536afe0ca57d52.jpg We're excited to roll out more websites, games, and streaming services to Bigscreen in 2023. What would you like to see next? This feature works in single-player and multiplayer, on both Quest and PCVR. 🌐 The content you have access to may vary by region. People in a room may see a different selection of films. If content is unavailable in your region, you won't be able to watch it with friends. Each streaming service operates differently, so your experience may vary. Some notes about Disney+ and Amazon Prime: Each perso
We're excited to launch the Realtime Lighting Update! Today’s update improves visual fidelity & immersion on Meta Quest and PCVR headsets with our new Dynamic Screen Lighting 3.0 engine. We overhauled dynamic screen lighting with new graphics techniques and a lot of fine-tuning. Our latest lighting engine also adds support for real-time specular reflections. It highlights reflective surfaces and specular objects. To celebrate our new lighting engine we've created a brand new environment: 'The Residence'. It's a modern, abstract, and cozy space with advanced materials to further enhance the exp
This update removes the light dimmer knob (or dial) in the environments and adds a UI slider for it in the settings page under "Visuals & Lighting". The light dimming is now controlled through the Bigscreen menu instead.
This patch addresses the Reverb G2 GPU performance problem users have experienced since the update a few weeks ago. Also fixes a problem with the supersampling button in the graphics page being disabled in a certain case it should not be.
