In a rare move, Apple is directly adding support for its visionOS platform to the Godot open-source game engine. The move expands the range of tools that developers can use to build content for the headset.

Like the popular Unity and Unreal game engines, Godot is a collection of development tools that make it easy for developers to build real-time games and applications. Unlike the other two, Godot is fully open-source, meaning anyone can use the engine and distribute games built with it free of […]

GHOST TOWN is the latest VR game to launch from Fireproof Games, a studio whose previous title, The Room: A Dark Matter, is one of the best and most rated VR puzzle games to date.

Ghost Town is now available on Quest 2 and Quest 3 headsets, and is planned to launch on PC VR and PSVR 2 later this year. The game is a departure from the studio’s long-running The Room series, but continues its focus on puzzle and narrative gameplay.

Although the game is based on […]

Google released the schedule for its upcoming I/O developer conference, which includes developer-focused sessions promising to deliver more insight into its upcoming Android XR operating system. At least from the schedule, it doesn’t seem Google is getting that vocal about Android XR just yet.

Android XR has been squarely out of the limelight since Google announced it back in December alongside Samsung’s ‘Project Moohan’ mixed reality headset. There aren’t any firm release dates for either, although both are expected to launch publicly sometime […]

Kluge Interactive, the studio behind hit VR rhythm game Synth Riders (2019), announced its upcoming VR fighting game, FINAL FURY, is landing in early access on Quest and SteamVR headsets next month.

Coming to Quest 2 and above and PC VR headsets on May 8th, Final Fury is an arcade-style fighting game that brings classic 1v1 action to VR with a unique gesture-based gameplay system.

Developed with input from nine-time EVO champion Justin Wong, the early access title offers a mix of hand […]

Avatar: The Last Airbender doesn’t have an official VR game, although you’d be forgiven for double-taking as you bend all four elements in the multiplayer action game Elements Divided, now available on Quest 2 and above and PC VR headsets.

Developed by Loco Motion and published by Fast Travel Games, Elements Divided lets you go head-to-head in online combat, or take on hordes of foes in co-op mode.

Like in the Avatar TV series, each element has its own fighting style, which includes 60 attacks and abilities across the four core elements—fire, water, air, […]

PlayStation has kicked off its big ‘Big Games, Big Deals’ promotion today, putting a massive number of PS5 and PS4 games on deep discount. While there are only a handful of PSVR 2 and PSVR games among the lot, you can still nab some pretty great games at a steal.

The sale varies by region, so make sure to check out the sales section to see whether these games are currently on discount for you.

As it is, in the US, the following games […]

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered just released on PC and console, offering up a modern, refreshed version of Bethesda’s beloved 2006 open world RPG. And before we could even say “stop right there, criminal scum!”, VR players are already under the hood.

One of Bethesda’s most notable improvements has been bringing Oblivion to Unreal Engine 5 rather than the game’s original Gamebryo engine, meaning it not only featues improved textures, character, models animations, and lighting, but it’s also effectively opening up the game to modders who want to jump […]

The CEO of Snap Inc, the company behind Snapchat and the Spectacles AR glasses, will take the stage at AWE 2025 in June to highlight the company’s latest developments in AR. The prominent placement on the event’s schedule comes as Snap aims to strengthen its foothold in the XR industry.

Snap may be one of the only companies offering fully standalone AR glasses that you can get today, but the company is still seen as an outsider among the broader XR community.

That’s partly because […]

POOLS (2024) developer Tensori announced last year it was developing VR support for its Backrooms Internet lore-inspired game. Mark your calendars, because on May 30th, you’ll be able to jump into the deep end on PC VR headsets.

Unlike other horror-themed walking sims, Pools isn’t about running from monsters or solving deadly puzzles. It’s just pools, and creepy ones at that.

Arriving as a free update to the PC game on May 30th, the VR version will let you play the entire game from start […]

Ever wonder what the best-selling Quest games are? Wonder no further, because Meta has published a section on the Horizon Store listing the current top 50 best-sellers of all time.

As you’d imagine, many of the ‘old reliables’ have taken the top spots, including Beat Games’ hit rhythm game Beat Saber (2018), Owlchemy Labs’ madcap parody sim Job Simulator (2016), and Superhot Team’s time-bending action game SUPERHOT VR (2017).

Granted, all three of these titles benefitted from massive traction on other headsets before landing as launch […]

Zach Tsiakalis-Brown, developer behind the Vertigo series, announced that Vertigo 2 (2023) is getting its long-awaited DLC story expansion ‘Into the Aether’ this week.

In late 2023, the studio announced it was pushing its “final content update” to the game with the the Bottomless Update, bringing a level editor, modifiers, and new playable characters, extending the game well beyond the 10+ hour campaign.

Still, the final update wasn’t really final. In December 2024, Tsiakalis-Brown announced the award-winning shooter-adventure was getting its first paid DLC, Into the Aether.

Initially slated […]
