[SKYBOX] Steam v1.2.1: Improved SMB Streaming, Search & Refined Controls

Lucy

Hi everyone,

Thank you all for your patience! We just released SKYBOX v1.2.1(beta) on Steam, focusing on smoother network streaming, easier file searching, and refined UI controls.

🌟 What's New in Steam v1.2.1:

Supported Searching Files by Filename
Supported Adjusting Height When Viewing 2D Videos
Supported Searching for AirScreen Client by IP Address
Added Precise Seeking Toggle in Global Settings
Added Seat Height Adjustment
Added Screen Reflect Lighting Adjustment
Optimized SMB Bandwidth Utilization
Optimized Controller Shortcuts
Optimized Global Settings UI

💡 Note for Steam Frame Users:
Steam Frame device itself currently does not provide hardware decoding, so the standalone version relies on CPU software decoding (tested to play videos up to 2K). For high-resolution or high-bitrate videos, you'll still need the Steam PCVR version for smooth playback.

➡️ Switch to Beta: Steam Library → right-click SKYBOX VR Player → Properties → Game Versions & Betas → select the beta branch.

Check out the new beta build and let us know what you think in the comments or on Discord. Thanks again for your ongoing support!

Cheers,
SKYBOX STUDIO

Are you planning on supporting Steam Frame?
Will it have hardware acceleration in the future?

Hi, we will gradually adapt and optimize Steam Frame support in future updates, but our main priority now is ensuring a smooth experience for the PCVR version.

And we will promptly update our app to support hardware decoding as soon as the official SDK provides it. Thanks for your understanding!
