‘Counter-Strike’ Unofficially Ported to Quest & Pico 4 by Team Beef in VR

So, here’s the deal. Imagine if your favorite old-school games could pop right into your VR headset like magic. Well, Team Beef’s got you covered, bringing that ’90s vibe back—no joke. They’ve tackled Tomb Raider, Duke Nukem 3D, all that jazz. And now, they’re setting their sights on Counter-Strike 1.6 for Quest and Pico. Crazy, right?

Now, Team Beef, they’re not new to this. These guys have been tinkering with standalone VR stuff for ages. They’re working on this unofficial port of the OG Counter-Strike 1.6, the one that hit Steam in 2000. It’s a whole nostalgia trip, using the Xash3D FWGS engine to make it all gel with Valve’s old GoldSrc engine. Sounds technical, huh? Yeah, I barely follow it myself sometimes.

Oh, but here’s the kicker—they’re saying cross-play is in the mix, and you can whip up servers right in VR. Mind blown. They’ll even throw in that full 6DoF motion controls thingy. I mean, who knew we’d be moving our whole bodies in a game that old?

Anyway, they teased an early peek for their Patreon folks. But, a little heads up, no 6DoF in sight—yet, anyway. Can’t wait to see how this all pans out. Feels like stepping into a time machine, but with VR goggles… if that makes any sense.
