Daydream VR software is no longer supported

Google has released the news in a statement on its support page,  where it states that “Daydream VR software is no longer supported.” The company clarifies that you may still be able to access the service and use it with compatible third-party applications but you will not receive any more software or security updates and it may not work correctly on some devices with Android 11 or later.

With Daydream, Google wanted to bring the virtual reality experience to users for a price of around the US $ 100 thanks to its Daydream View glasses, its first exclusive glasses. However, the project did not come to fruition, and Google announced in October 2019 that the Daydream VR program was not popular with consumers and would be ending soon. Weeks later, Google removed the Daydream View VR glasses from its online store, and the newly released Pixel 4 was not compatible with the Daydream service.
