Let’s cut right to the chase. Here’s the best sales we’ve seen so far.

Devs United Games, the studio behind Quest exclusive Real VR Fishing, announced they’re finally bringing the popular VR fishing game to PC VR headsets next month.

Coming to SteamVR headsets in early December, Real VR Fishing is set to follow the same pricing policy and gameplay as the Quest version, making all DLCs—US West Coast DLC, US East Coast DLC, Japan DLC Part 1 and 2—available on Steam at launch.

The base game features 40 fishing holes and 150+ fish species as standard, however […]

Leaked 3D models hidden in a recent SteamVR update appear to show off a new VR motion controller, sparking renewed hope that Valve is gearing up to release its long-rumored ‘Deckard’ VR standalone headset.

As reported by tech analyst and YouTuber Brad ‘SadlyitsBradley’ Lynch, two newly discovered controllers have leaked in recent SteamVR drivers, which includes a new VR motion controller, code-named ‘Roy’, and a new gamepad, code-named ‘Ibex’.

Unlike standard VR motion controllers, which typically feature two action buttons per controller, the leaked Roy […]

Meta usually launches its newest headsets toward the end of the year, and that usually means the headset itself doesn’t go on sale until the next holiday. But this year is an exception, at least for Amazon which is offering up an impressive Black Friday sale for Quest 3S.

Quest 3S, Meta’s newest headset, launched barely a month-and-a-half ago. So we weren’t expecting to see a substantial discount on the headset until sometime next year.

Alas, Amazon US has a very solid Quest 3S Black Friday deal: $300 for the […]

Resolution Games, the veteran XR studio behind Demeo (2021) and Racket Club (2023), announced Home Sports, a casual multi-sport VR game exclusively for Quest 3 and Quest 3S.

Slated to arrive on the Horizon Store next month, Home Sports packs in a collection of five social sports, including pickleball, mini golf, hockey, bowling, and badminton, giving off some very Wii Sports (2006) vibes in the process.

Games can be played locally (provided you both own a Quest 3 or Quest 3S), or online for multiplayer action.

Additionally, the […]

Get your VR headset carrying case ready, because if you’re visiting family this holiday season, there are a ton of great games out there you should consider showing off to first-timers of all ages.

Consumer VR headsets have been around for nearly a decade now, but many people still haven’t tried it—or worse, tried it and walked away without experiencing the slate of truly awesome VR games out on modern headsets.

And there are a ton of great games out there—a lot more than we can mention […]

Vision Pro is an incredible headset in many ways, but its most obvious weak point (after the pricetag) is comfort. Apple’s obsession with aesthetics made a headset that’s striking for those looking at it, but less comfortable than it could be for those actually using it. Luckily, fixing this flaw is quite simple.

Many critiques of Vision Pro’s comfort attribute the issue to the headset’s weight. It’s metal after all! So that must be the issue, right?

Well, Vision Pro actually isn’t much heavier than contemporary […]

Alongside updates to its PC VR headset lineup, Pimax revealed a new financing plan for Crystal Super and Crystal Light which makes both PC VR headsets more affordable, but also alters the payment structure and returns policy in a way that could raise a few eyebrows moving forward.

Announced back in April, Crystal Super is set to be the company’s next flagship PC VR headset, offering a base 57 PPD version with QLED panels that features a staggering resolution […]

Varjo, the high-end XR headset creator, today announced the release of a new smartphone-based 3D scanning service for enterprise that promises to let users quickly build photorealistic environments and explore them in both VR and on traditional screens.

Called Teleport, the paid app allows users to capture and recreate real-world locations, something the Finland-based company says takes just 5–10 minutes, which is notably faster than traditional photogrammetry methods.

Supported capture devices include iPhones and iPads running iOS 17 or later, which includes […]

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.

While the original was all about PvE battles, the sequel is launching in Early Access today with one of the most anticipated features: online PvP boxing.
