Hulu Discontinues Support for Google Daydream VR Platform

Not that anyone was likely to notice, but Hulu has discontinued support for Google’s Daydream VR platform.

In a recent update for the Hulu app, anyone attempting to access content via a Daydream headset likely ran into issues. However, if you’re using Hulu via a Daydream headset, and you don’t want to lose this functionality, do not update your Hulu app. As soon as you get the updated Hulu app, Daydream support will be gone.

Hulu confirmed this change to Variety, but no other comment was provided. Google apparently declined to comment, too. We have no idea what they would say, but given we haven’t heard much on the Daydream front in quite a while, it’s entirely possible that Google forgot about its existence. I’m kinda kidding, but not really.

Have you been using Daydream at all?

Stumbling upon Droid Life randomly after purchasing a Motorola DROID in late 2009, then setting out to learn everything he could about Android, Tim quickly became an integral part of the site's comment section. After quite some time of strictly commenting on Droid Life, Tim was offered an opportunity to write feature stories for the site, such as custom ROM overviews, as well as interviews with Android community members. Following success of those, Tim became a full time writer and editor for Droid Life, now spending his time on news articles, device reviews, producing videos, and much more. Tim currently resides in Portland, OR with his longtime girlfriend and two wonderful dog children (Loki & Thor). In his spare time, Tim enjoys playing guitar, drinking coffee, practicing photography, and destroying kids on Call of Duty.
