San Francisco: Microsoft has announced to discontinue "Windows Mixed Reality" feature in an update to a list of deprecated Windows features.
Microsoft also added the Mixed Reality Portal app and Windows Mixed Reality for Steam VR to the list.
"Windows Mixed Reality is deprecated and will be removed in a future release of Windows. This deprecation includes the Mixed Reality Portal app and Windows Mixed Reality for SteamVR and Steam VR Beta," Microsoft said in a blogpost.
Microsoft first released Windows Mixed Reality in 2017 to combat with virtual reality rivals such as HTC and Oculus (now owned by Meta). It served as a gateway to games, apps, and other experiences within the VR space.
Microsoft has been reducing the size of its VR division over time.
