I don't think there is foveated rendering. There is foveated encoding, when game streaming.
Looks like a very competent headset indeed though! Nice combo of fast streaming that can prioritize well with foveated encoding, and hopefully a pretty nice malleable capable standalone headset too.
The eye tracking data is supposedly being made available to other software on PC (and presumably the headset as well), so foveated rendering should be possible but is a software problem.
I did more research. It does indeed support foveated rendering. Developers do need to implement this for their game, but it supports it.

"For foveated rendering, [the developers] have that option, but it's not compulsory"
Yes - thank you, fixed
