Meta’s long-in-development ‘Avalanche’ PC VR cloud streaming system appeared on a French outlet’s Quest 3. The “Activate Avalanche (Alpha)” option appeared in the Experimental section of the settings of one of GamerGen’s Quest 3 headsets, as demonstrated during a recent livestream.

The description of the setting translates to “Launch an Avalanche session using the cloud gaming endpoint”. When activating it GamerGen was offered to play Lone Echo, a blockbuster Oculus Rift game from 2017 that hasn’t been ported to Quest. However, actually attempting to launch it resulted in an error that translates to “Unable to launch the Avalanche session”, with a description of “An error occurred while launching the Avalanche session, please check your network and try again.”
