Phaser Lock Interactive, the studio behind Quest exclusive Primal Hunt (2023) and a host of early PC VR games, announced it’s shutting down, citing a “challenging economic climate and the current state of the gaming industry.”

Founded in 2015, the Austin, Texas-based VR studio was behind a number of PC VR games over the years, including bow-shooter Twisted Arrow (2016), and real-time strategy games Final Approach (2016) and Final Assault (2019).

In 2023, Phaser Lock released dino-hunting game Primal Hunt, which leveraged Twisted Arrow’s bow-shooting mechanics in a Turok-inspired single player adventure, released […]

XR Games, the studio behind Hitman 3 VR: Reloaded (2024) and Starship Troopers Continuum (2024), announced a new rhythm game for Quest called BEATABLE, which uses hand-tracking to turn any table into a musical instrument.

Matching up your physical environment with a virtual one is usually pretty immersive on its own, as you can ‘feel’ the world around you for another layer of suspended disbelief.

Now, Beatable takes it one step further by letting you use your own table as a musical instrument, so you can physically tap, snap, and […]

Google is reportedly set to acquire Canada-based eye-tracking startup AdHawk Microsystems Inc., something that would strengthen the company’s ongoing foray into XR headsets and glasses.

As reported by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Google is allegedly acquiring AdHawk for $115 million, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

The deal is said to include $15 million in future payments based on the eye-tracking company reaching performance targets. While the acquisition is purportedly slated to conclude this week, a deal still hasn’t […]

Path of Fury – Episode I: Tetsuo’s Tower is launching today on Quest, offering up an on-rails battle against a cadre of kung fu fighting gangsters through an ’80s-inspired underworld.

Developed by Leonard Menchiari, director of Trek to Yomi (2022), and published by Abonico Game Works, the first episode of Path of Fury is an on-rails VR adventure inspired in the Chinese kung fu flicks, such as Hong Kong director Wong Kar-wai’s early work, Indonesian action film The Raid (2011), and games like Time Crisis and the Fist […]

Sony has released an update to the PlayStation VR2 App which allows the headset to be used with SteamVR content. The update makes it easier to diagnose controller tracking issues which have been proven problematic.

The latest update to PlayStation VR2 App (v3.0) adds a “Bluetooth connection quality” check to help users understand how well their controllers are communicating with the computer.

When the app launched back in August 2024—officially enabling PSVR 2 to play SteamVR games for the first time—there were widespread complaints of controller tracking […]

Niantic, the company behind hit mobile game Pokémon Go (2016), announced the sale of its gaming division to Scopely for $3.85 billion, confirming a previous Bloomberg report. Furthermore, the company now says it’s focusing on advancing its AI-powered geospatial technology and AR tech.

As a part of the deal, the Saudi Arabia-owned mobile game developer Scopely is taking over many of Niantic’s most well-known titles, including Pokémon GO, Pikmin Bloom, and Monster Hunter Now. Original development teams attached […]

Apple announced it’s releasing an immersive concert experience from Metallica, landing exclusively on Apple Vision Pro this week.

The concert experience, simply dubbed ‘Metallica’, captures a performance in Mexico City which took place during the second-year finale of the band’s M72 World Tour. It’s set to include classic Metallica songs ‘Whiplash’, ‘One’, and ‘Enter Sandman’.

The concert was captured in Apple’s own immersive video format, which features 8K 3D video and spatial audio, putting viewers face to face with band members James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett, and […]

MAGE is a magic and physics sandbox in early access on Quest 3 that not only offers up fun physics-based mayhem, but does it at an eye-blistering 120 fps.

“We feel that no game has truly taken advantage of the power of standalone VR hardware,” says Charlie Shenton, Mage’s engine programmer and other half of the two-person team. “Nothing ruins our immersion more than laggy games barely hitting 72Hz, with blurry visuals, and spongey physics.”

To solve this, Shenton and fellow dev Matthew Alexander Gregory built […]

Windlands studio Psytec Games today unveiled its first new project in seven years, a co-op adventurer platformer called Titan Isles.

The game looks to be somewhat of a spiritual successor to Windlands 2 (2018), the studio’s most recent game, letting co-op teams take on rope-swinging parkour challenges and fight off monsters of all shapes and sizes—bosses included.

Okay, maybe ‘spiritual successor’ isn’t the right term—it is a brand new game that leverages the same movement mechanics seen in Windlands, albeit with a heavy emphasis on co-op combat. Maybe […]

Triangle Factory, the studio behind team shooter Breachers, today revealed its next VR game: Forefront, a multiplayer shooter inspired by the Battlefield series.

The game, which supports up to 32 players, will offer vehicles of all types, including land, air and sea, letting you traverse large-scale maps for the sort of large, dynamic encounters you rarely see in VR. The studio also promises an arsenal of new weapons, vehicles, gadgets, and player classes.

Here’s how Triangle Factory describes the game:

In Forefront (set in 2035), Orpiment Renewable Energy (O.R.E.) […]

Flat2VR Studios, the team dedicated to porting flatscreen games to VR headsets, announced it has a fresh slate of four games getting the official flat-to-VR treatment.

The studio announced during the VR Games Showcase today that it’s bringing official VR versions of Out of Sight, Surviving Mars, and Postal 2 to VR for the first time. Additionally, Flat2VR says it’s also porting Shadowgate VR: The Mines of Mythrok to PSVR 2.

Out of Sight (Quest, PSVR 2, PC VR)

• Description: You’re Sophie, a young blind girl who […]

Alta, the studio behind open-world VRRPG A Township Tale (2021), revealed during the VR Games Showcase today more about its next VR game, a multiplayer dungeon-crawler called Reave.

Previously revealed last year as ‘Project 2’, we now know the game is not only leaning into PvE, but also throwing in PvP for good measure, making for some deadly trips into its loot-filled dungeons.

As an extraction-based game, Reave tasks you with nabbing loot and extracting back to base. It not only pits you against monsters along the way though, but also […]

Slender: The Arrival (2013), the hit flatscreen game that pits you against the legendary Slender Man, is releasing on all major VR platforms this spring, coming alongside a fresh (and spine-tingling) new gameplay video.

As revealed during the VR Games Showcase today, the game’s original developer Blue Isle Studios is tooling the game for VR, coming to Quest, PSVR 2, and SteamVR headsets this spring.

It’s not going to be a 1:1 port either, as Blue Isle calls the new VR version an “official re-imagining and expansion of the original game, featuring […]

VR pet simulator Stay: Forever Home is officially coming to Quest in April, bringing its loveable canine companion ‘Ember’ to both virtual and mixed reality. 

Developer Windup Minds says Stay: Forever Home blends AR, VR, and unscripted AI to create a realistic companion that is unique to each player, resulting in a game that “loves you back.”

Here’s how the studio describes Ember, the star of the show:

A magical friend – who won’t dig holes in your backyard. Ember’s not your average pet! She weaves delight into your life and […]

Hitman World of Assassination is coming to PSVR 2, and we just got a fresh look at the action during the VR Games Showcase today, showing off some promising graphics that (hopefully) eclipses the series’ disastrous launch on Quest.

Hitman World of Assassination—the bundle including HITMAN 1, HITMAN 2 and HITMAN 3—was initially supposed to arrive on PSVR 2 in December, although developer IO Interactive delayed the release to March 27th, 2025—likely for good reason.

Hitman 3 VR: Reloaded was widely panned when it launched on Quest 3 […]

Flat2VR Studios today showed off some fresh gameplay footage of Roboquest VR, its upcoming port of the titular fast-paced roguelite shooter.

Like the original flatscreen Roboquest (2023) from RyseUp Studios, Flat2VR also confirmed Roboquest VR will similarly feature two-player co-op in addition to single player campaign.

Set in a vibrant, cel-shaded world, Roboquest throws players into procedurally generated levels filled with hordes of robotic enemies. Players take on the role of a Guardian, a combat robot fighting alongside a human companion in a post-apocalyptic future where AI has taken over.

That means […]

During the VR Games Showcase today, Patient 8 Games announced it’s bringing its long-awaited sci-fi action horror game Memoreum to Quest in September.

Patient 8 Games is best known for its hit Half Life: Alyx mod, ‘Return to Rapture’, which mashed up Bioshock levels with Half-Life lore.

Ever since we heard about how the studio was aiming to similarly recreate Dead Space in Half-Life: Alyx mod, but later pivoted to launch it as a standalone title built in Unity, we’ve been waiting patiently to learn more about […]
