OpenXR 1.1 support has been added with automatic fallback to 1.0, promoting extensions like palm/grip pose and local floor reference space to core. Vulkan multithreading improvements (contributed by W4Games) offer performance gains on standalone VR hardware. A new Project Setup Wizard in the OpenXR vendor plugin streamlines XR project configuration. Godot 4.6 now embeds the Khronos OpenXR loader directly into Android APKs, enabling single-APK deployment across multiple headsets. XR developers on Windows are advised to stick with Vulkan over the new DirectX default when using Mobile or Forward+ renderers. Two new platforms are now supported: AndroidXR and Steam Frame (including PCVR, Android APK, and native Linux ARM64 modes). A fifth Godot XR Game Jam is also underway. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
