Zach Tsiakalis-Brown, the one-man show behind PC VR action-adventure games Vertigo (2016) and Vertigo 2 (2023), revealed he’s working with Rust Ltd on their upcoming sequel to Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades (H3VR).

Tsiakalis-Brown revealed in a new video he’s been working with Rust on H3VR2 since early 2024, officially taking on gameplay programming and technical art for the upcoming sequel in 2025.

As mentioned in the […]

Hot Dogs, Horseshoes and Hand Grenades (H3VR) is one of those silly, but surprisingly realistic PC VR shooters that kept on giving well after its release on Steam Early Access in 2016. Now, developer Rust Ltd announced a sequel is coming, and it’s a “full fledged” extraction shooter.

Revealed during the Creature Feature & Friends 2026 showcase, H3VR2 is coming to Quest 3 and 3S as well as PC VR headsets via Steam. Since the original is a PC VR-only game, this […]

We got an eye-full of VR stuff during today’s Creature and VR Games Showcase livestream, which showed off a bevy of new VR games and updates coming to a headset near you.

Here’s the full drop, frontloaded with a very obvious headliner: the upcoming sequel to Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades.

Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades Sequel

Get ready to shoot, loot, and scoot as a sentient hot dog in the sequel to Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades (H3VR), the […]

Social VR pushes moderation challenges to the surface in ways that non-VR titles are often able to avoid. Voice, immersion, and highly social design raise the stakes while economic realities also create limitations around moderation coverage. The good news is that data-backed approaches show there is another path.

It’s been a little over a year since Meta revealed its top 50 best-selling games of all time. Here’s the rankings as they stand today, and why they haven’t really changed that much.

Not a lot has changed in Quest’s top 50 best-selling games list, which is partially to be expected since Meta’s list ostensibly covers sales since the original Quest was initially released in 2019.

Note: If you want to skip the analysis, you’ll find the full list at the […]

Cyan Worlds announced it’s finally bringing remakes of the studio’s most iconic puzzle adventures, MYST (1993) and RIVEN (1997), to PS5 and PSVR 2 this month.

Like the remakes on PC, which were released in 2021 and 2024 respectively, Myst and Riven will support both flatscreen and VR gameplay at launch, which is coming May 19th.

As you’d imagine, both games are very much products of their time, as original puzzles are faithfully recreated alongside adapted visuals, which transforms […]

If augmented reality glasses are the future, AR contact lenses are probably a bit farther away. Still, smart contact lens startup XPANCEO says it’s hoping to address at least one of the technology’s main issues with the inclusion of miniature solid-state batteries.

In partnership with France-based solid-state battery startup ITEN, XPANCEO announced it’s developing a proof of concept AR contact lens with a built-in microbattery—something the companies hope will solve a main challenge in ocular wearables right now: conventional batteries […]

Survios, one of VR’s most senior game studios and developer behind Alien: Rogue Incursion (2024), is reportedly shutting down, as a majority of staff have been laid off.

While Survios hasn’t publicly announced the shutdown at the time of this writing, the reduction in headcount appears to be drastic enough to all but confirm that the VR veteran studio is closing up shop.

Dylan Ralston, previously a Combat Designer at Survios, says in a LinkedIn post on Saturday the studio is “essentially shuttered, […]

Reave was an upcoming VR extraction dungeon crawler from Alta, the studio behind Township Tale. The company announced that the game has been cancelled despite the game being in a mature enough state for months of open playtesting.

Following the successful launch of Township Tale on Quest in 2021, studio Alta announced it had raised more than $12 million in investment to expand its studio and accelerate development of the game.

In April 2024 the studio revealed it was working on a new game, at the time codenamed […]

When we started working on Beat the Beats, we had one clear mission: we wanted a super cohesive experience from the moment you start up the game. This implies treating UI and menu time as seriously as the gameplay itself.

While I don’t think anybody was really asking for a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game in VR, much less a story-driven campaign with optional co-op: it’s here. And I’m so glad it is, because it’s totally radical.

Images and specs for Samsung’s upcoming smart glasses have reportedly leaked, showing off what could be the South Korean tech giant’s answer to Ray-Ban Meta.

The images, which were obtained by Android Headlines, don’t appear to be leaked marketing images as such, but rather “based on real-life pictures of a testing unit of these smart glasses,” Android Headlines says—ostensibly done to obscure the leak’s source.

The report also included a brief spec sheet for the company’s first smart glasses, which, much […]

Steam Controller, Valve’s next-gen gamepad, is slated to launch on May 4th for $100, although you shouldn’t expect to see a big ‘buy’ button next to Steam Frame or Steam Machine.

Speaking to Polygon, Valve revealed that it’s only releasing Steam Controller next month for a pretty important (and slightly obvious) reason: Steam Controller “doesn’t have RAM in it,” Valve hardware engineer Steve Cardinali told Polygon.

“We wanted to build up quantity so that we could try to address everybody who wants […]

XR glasses maker VITURE announced the launch of VITURE Beast, its third-gen flagship XR glasses that release today, priced at $549.

Targeting casual content consumption and productivity, the Beast offers up a 3DOF-tracked virtual screen estimated to be 174 inches when viewed at 4 meters, which connects via USB-C to PCs, phones and portable game consoles, like Steam Deck or ROG Ally.

Similar to Viture’s previously released Luma series, the Beast sports bird bath-style optics, however […]
