In addition to feeling like you're at the stadium by watching the game in live immersive format, fans can also enjoy a tabletop simulcast of the action. - See tabletop preview here
If you haven't tried live sports in the headset yet, it’s a great way to see how the platform handles high-bitrate live feeds compared to a standard TV.
