The launch on Android is undoubtedly a big piece of the puzzle for Rec Room, as it will feature cross-play with all supported platforms, which includes iOS devices, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, PC via Steam, Oculus Quest, and all SteamVR-compatible headsets. Original Article (June 29th, 2021): According to its Google Play listing, Rec Room is set to launch on Android versions 7.1 and up, something that accounts for around 70 percent of the market share for mobile operating systems. We’ve tested with a device running a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845, so it should work fairly well for flagship phones from at least 2018. It seems to be well optimized for modern phones though. But don’t wait, because since July 24th the app has been available to select Android devices.Īs Android Central notes, controllers aren’t supported yet, and some users are reporting performance issues at the moment. Update (August 4th, 2021): If you’ve pre-registered for access to Rec Room on Android, you may receive a notification in the coming days to let you know you can download the app. With little fanfare though, the popular social VR platform has quietly begun early rollout for its Android app on select devices. We were expecting to see Rec Room make its way to Google Play sometime this fall.
