Tencent has recently announced miniStation – its Android-powered game console. There’s a more powerful version of this system in the works, which promises to connect to a VR headset (also manufactured by Tencent). The system is powered by a Qualcomm chip, which has the same power as an Intel i5 processor. The system will support various games, apps and movies. The company is also developing its own virtual reality game. VR-cinema seems like a great feature, but it’s still not clear how the whole thing is going to work.

Chinese VR-community is incredibly excited with the announcement. Tencent has an incredible potential to make some amazing VR-games, however the company may also hurt smaller developers, who are willing to push out their own unusual VR-experiences on other platforms.
