Bigscreen Beyond, the slim and light PC VR headset released late last year, is getting its first ever Black Friday deal. Starting this week, you can nab a free Audio Strap with purchase.

Bigscreen Beyond is small, partly because it relies on the SteamVR tracking ecosystem and doesn’t need inside-out tracking sensors, and partly because it includes dual 2,560 × 2,560 micro-OLED displays, which are paired with space (and weight) saving pancake lenses.

In fact, it’s so light, it weighs in […]

Black Friday is still a week away, but Sony has already released its Black Friday deals, including the best PSVR 2 sale we’ve seen. You can now get the PSVR 2 Horizon Call of the Mountain bundle for just $350, a 42% discount over the usual price.

The PSVR 2 Horizon Call of the Mountain bundle is currently on sale for $350. This is almost certainly the best the headset will see this year.

The bundle includes the PSVR 2 headset, controllers, and a digital copy of Horizon […]

Wall Town Wonders feels like a casual game from the future, when all-day AR glasses are the norm, and you can manage your growing town of tiny Sim-like inhabitants as they fly around your room in hot air balloons and live out their tiny lives as you live out yours. While visually captivating, the depth of gameplay isn’t enough to keep my attention for long, raising the question whether the genre is simply too early for the current generation of XR headsets.

Wall Town Wonders […]

Halfbrick Studios and The Thrill of the Fight (2016) original creator Ian Fitz today released the long-awaited sequel to the popular boxing sim, available now on Quest in Early Access.

A fully-reimagined sequel to the original game, The Thrill of the Fight 2 is now live on Quest headsets, including Quest 2, Quest 3, Quest 3S, and Quest Pro.

One of VR’s biggest hits, Gorilla Tag, is expanding a previously tested level creation mode and making it a permanent part of the game. The so-called ‘Monke Blocks’ allow friends to build together and then play inside of their shared creations. Meanwhile, the studio behind the up-and-coming Digigods social VR game recently snagged a $2.6 million investment. Both developments show that user-generated content (or UGC) has become a central pillar to successful social VR games.

VRChat, Rec Room, Roblox, and Horizon Worlds are all social VR games that have […]

Meta announced at Connect in September it was working with Microsoft to bring Windows 11 PCs the ability to automatically pair with Quest wirelessly. Now, the companies say we can expect preview access in December.

The feature will allow Quest 3 and Quest 3S to connect to Windows 11 PCs for a multi-monitor work environment—pretty familiar territory to anyone who owns a Vision Pro and some flavor of Mac, as Apple’s XR headset has been able to similarly connect via Mac Virtual Display […]

Augmented World Expo (AWE) isn’t just one of the longest-running conferences focused on immersive tech, it’s also become the most important annual XR conference on our calendar.

In the early days there were many industry conferences that had a significant draw for the pioneers of XR’s modern epoch. There were XR pockets within big tech conferences like CES, GDC, and E3. There were company-specific events like Oculus Connect and Unity’s Vision Summit. And there were early grass-roots events like SVVR, VRLA, and a host of local meetups across […]

VR veteran studio Fast Travel Games today announced that its Superhot-inspired VR shooter Action Hero is set to arrive on Quest next month.

Action Hero sets the stage by integrating the same time-stopping movement mechanic seen in Superhot and Superhot VR; time only moves when you do, letting you tactically plan out flourishing gun kata worthy of John Wick himself.

Coming December 12th to Quest 2 headsets and above, Action Hero instead puts players into the role of the protagonist of five different ‘movies’ which span multiple genres.

“Every film consists […]

Ahead of Alien: Rogue Incursion’s December launch on PSVR 2 and PC VR, developer Survios released a new story trailer that delves deeper into the protagonist Zula Hendricks’ story on LV-354, aka ‘Purdan’.

What happened to Zula’s friend and former squad mate on Purdan? What deadly experiments have the researchers at this facility been messing with?

Those are some of the questions the new story trailer raises. While the answer is most definitely “Xenomorphs”, Survios is showing off a fair bit of new game footage following Zula and her android companion […]

Another Axiom, the indie studio behind VR phenomenon Gorilla Tag, is opening up its next project Orion Drift to all Quest users tomorrow for its first server scalability test.

Currently in closed early access, Orion Drift packages in Gorilla Tag’s immersive movement mechanic with some of the action of the now-defunct sports game Echo VR, promising to serve up an activity-packed social VR space for up to 200 players.

Now, Another Axiom says it’s opening Orion Drift to Quest users for a server scalability test that’s set to last two days: November 20th […]

Batman: Arkham Shadow had a lot to live up to. Not only were the developers trying to bring one of the world’s best known-superheroes to VR, they were also building a radical new to play a revered game series that hasn’t had a mainline entry since 2015. Following its first superhero success (Iron Man VR in 2020), Batman: Arkham Shadow launched to critical acclaim, cementing developer Camouflaj as one of the industry’s most capable and versatile VR studios. To learn more about how it all came together, we […]

Hitman World of Assassination was slated to arrive on PSVR 2 next month, but now developer IO Interactive says it’s delaying release to March 27th, 2025.

“This decision to move the release date was not made lightly; we know there was a lot of demand to bring Hitman on PS VR2, and we were excited to see the great reception following the announcement,” IO Interactive says in a PS blog post.

“As such, our priority will always remain to deliver an amazing experience that […]

Project Aria is a pair of sensor-packed glasses which Meta has been using internally to train its augmented reality perception systems. Now, Meta revealed it’s released Project Aria to a number of third-party research teams aiming to tackle some of the most complex challenges in creating practical, all-day AR glasses of the future.

Announced in 2020, Aria doesn’t include AR displays of any type. Instead, the company designed the glasses to help develop the “safeguards, policies and even social norms necessary to govern […]
