After officially killing its Play Movies & TV app for Daydream in June 2019, and losing support for Hulu about a year ago, Google is waking up from its Daydream and officially announcing the platform is dead.

Did Google cardboard fail?
Google’s last surviving VR product is dead.

Is the Daydream View 2 worth it?

What is Google Daydream VR and how does it work?
Google Daydream VR is Google’s virtual reality solution for mobile devices. Devices need to be officially cleared by Google to be labeled as Daydream compatible, and some of the requirements are fairly stringent.
What are the technical requirements for Daydream VR?
In order to support high performance virtual reality mode (required for official Daydream VR support), your device must have support for the Vulkan Graphics API with Open GL ES 3.2 and a screen resolution of at least 1080p at a refresh rate of 60Hz minimum with ideally 3ms or less display latency and 5mm or less persistence.
Which smartphones are compatible with the new Google Daydream View 2?
Although the new Daydream View 2 supports Google’s new Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL smartphones, those have simply become part of the “Daydream Ready” smartphone list. Google doesn’t differentiate between headsets in that respect, so whichever version of the View you have, the compatible smartphones should be the same.
