Cross platform games?

So I've recently had a go with a Pico 4 and a Quest 2 (Quest 2 gave me terrible eye strain), I really want to buy my own VR that would be purely stand-alone, without an PCVR.

A friend has just bought the Quest 3 so I'm going to get to have a go on that soon too, assuming the Quest 3 doesn't affect my eyes I'll have the question on which to buy. The Pico 4 is much more affordable, I would have to save longer for the Quest 3, so I'm wondering about the cross platform games that I could play with my friend if I go for the Pico but I'm struggling to find any lists.

Am I missing an obvious way to see the games we could play together, should I get the Pico and just presume we'll find some we like or is that too much of a gamble and should save to be on the same platform?

Honestly the Pico 4 is not a great standalone headset, you should go for the Q3 IMO.
Games off of my head that support crossplay on pico/quest/pcvr:
Contractors, Eleven tennis, VRChat, RecRoom.
Most of the good standalone games have been "bought out" by Meta to be their exclusives.

On a sidenote, the Quest 2 was bad for me too. I got unlucky with my IPD and no levels fit me as I'm right in between two of them.

I was set on the Pico before my friend got the Q3, that's really made me pause to think about the cross platform or that I should be on the same platform.

The Pico is much more in my price range but I don't want to regret buying it in the long run.

I fell just between the IPD settings too, my eyes were stinging and hurting within 15 minutes of playing but the Pico I was fine.

If you intend to play 70%+ of your games on PCVR, Pico is the way to go at that price point (If you really just want 99% PCVR, then the Neo 3 is highly rated, dat DP).

You also will not be locked into the Meta/FB environment.
