Best PC VR Games: 25 Titles On Steam And Oculus - Winter 2025
Need to find the best PC VR games on Steam, Rift, and Viveport? We’ve got you covered with our top 25 list.
The PC VR landscape has changed dramatically over the years. It used to be the front-and-center focus for the entire industry, though new headsets across different categories have since seen developers and publishers split their attention. Still, we’re often rewarded with various new gems every year that push the fidelity of VR experiences in ways lesser hardware can't manage. And with Steam Frame on the way in 2026, we're hoping to see more titles than ever make the leap.
What’s nice about the best PC VR games list, then, is that even the older games on this list from nine years ago remain some of the best-looking and playing titles in all of VR today. You’ll find most of these experiences on SteamVR, though some can be found on Rift (now called Meta Link), Viveport, GOG, or EGS. While new Rift releases are few and far between these days, some exclusives remain that are too good to ignore.
Honorable Mentions
We have to stop somewhere with these lists, though we've got even more recommendations if you want them with our honorable mentions. These are games that were previously included on our list and have since been removed or ones that didn't quite beat out the rest.
If a game's related to one of the main entries, such as a sequel or a spin-off, we'll mention it there instead. We've linked our reviews or other coverage below where possible, and here are a few additional titles worth considering.
- A Fisherman's Tale 2, A Township Tale, Alien: Rogue Incursion, Among Us 3D, Arizona Sunshine 2, Breachers, Compound, Eleven Table Tennis, Hellsweeper, Hubris, Microsoft Flight Simulator 24, Metro Awakening, Myst, Of Lies and Rain, Phasmophobia, Population: One, Reach, Robo Recall, Skydance's Behemoth, Subside, Superhot, Tetris Effect, The Midnight Walk, Ultrawings 2, Until You Fall, Vendetta Forever, VRacer Hoverbike, Wanderer, Wilson's Heart.
It's worth noting that we don't include modded PC games in this list, so nothing that requires the Unreal Engine VR Injector or other methods is present. Everything included here was designed for official PC VR support, though we may touch upon modding support within these games. We've tried to keep our recommendations varied so there's something for everyone, and this list is in alphabetical order instead of ranked preference.
For now, these are our top 25 best PC VR games on SteamVR, Rift, and Viveport.
Arken Age
Arken Age is a game that's paid clear attention to evolutions in VR gameplay design across the last decade and utilizes those to its advantage. Developer VitruviusVR has delivered a satisfying sci-fi action-adventure where you defend this fantasy world against mechanical creatures.
Offering a sizable campaign with room for a follow-up, that's all assisted by a vibrant presentation with great visuals and strong audio design. It's one of our favorite VR games of 2025, and Arken Age is an absolute must for action fans.

Asgard’s Wrath
Asgard’s Wrath might not have Skyrim levels of content but, for our money, the focus on native VR sword fighting and character progression makes this the more important of the two VR games. This is an immaculately produced Norse adventure split into three parts that captures the heart of the RPG genre.
Asgard's Wrath realizes it in its full glory using the power of PC VR, helping it vanquish its opponents in the fight for the best PC VR games to this day. While a sequel later followed in 2023, Asgard's Wrath 2 has remained Quest exclusive with seemingly no chance of a PC VR port.

Beat Saber
Beat Saber has become such a sensation on basically every headset that it’s easy to forget the game’s humble beginnings as an early-access PC VR title. Despite Beat Games’ acquisition by Meta, the PC VR version of the game remains the sharpest place to play Beat Saber. Still one of the best PC VR games, then, but Beat Saber is a must wherever you enjoy VR.
There's been plenty of new DLC added to Beat Saber over the years, including music packs or individual songs featuring high-profile artists like Lady Gaga, The Rolling Stones, Queen, Billie Eilish, Metallica, Kendrick Lamar, Sabrina Carpenter, Coldplay, and more. We can't forget the various free updates, and there are plenty of PC VR mods you can dive into as well.

Blade & Sorcery
Blade & Sorcery had been missing for several years from this list, but 2024's full release brought this back to our spotlight once more after nearly six years in early access. A PC VR medieval fantasy with full physics-driven melee combat and built-in mod support, further updates are planned even as the studio begins working on its next game.
If you've not played since the early access days, WarpFrog's early hit feels better than ever thanks to the Crystal Hunt campaign mode with an original biome and loot collecting. This new progression system gives you something to work towards while maintaining that sandbox spirit, and you'll gradually become more powerful through new magical skills.
UploadVRHenry Stockdale
Boneworks
Of all the physics-driven VR combat and puzzle games out there, Boneworks remains one of the most polished and impressive. Its single-player campaign offers plenty of fun sandboxes to experiment with, whether you're swinging robotic headcrabs around by their legs or beating up mindless zombies with a broom handle.
Or you can just rely on the classics and find a lethally accurate shooter. Boneworks is a great PC VR game and offered a glimpse of where the future of VR interactivity is headed. Stress Level Zero followed it up back in 2022 with Bonelab, which is also available on PC VR.

Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked
For the longest time, Demeo held a seemingly permanent spot on this list. We considered Resolution Games' 2021 tabletop game to be a genuine hit, delivering a first-rate four-player multiplayer VR experience that few games – flatscreen or VR – have ever really matched. Demeo Battles doesn't scratch the same itch as a PvP spin-off, though Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked stylishly surpassed the original.
While Battlemarked doesn't use a Dungeon Master (DM) system, what's here is an incredibly natural crossover with Wizards of the Coast's successful tabletop RPG. It evolves on the original Demeo's formula in style, letting you and a group of friends traverse dungeons with more narrative-driven campaigns. No matter the platform, it's a must have co-op experience.
- Platforms: Steam
UploadVRHenry Stockdale
Dungeons of Eternity
If you're looking for a fantasy action RPG that you can play with a group of friends, Dungeons of Eternity is the obvious pick. This first-person immersive experience feels significantly polished, allowing you and up to three more friends (Quest crossplay also supported) to explore various hack-n-slash combat options while clearing rooms in true “dungeon crawler” style.
It caters to many styles of play, pairing a rewarding progression system with endless randomly generated dungeons. There's a good reason why we named it our Best New Multiplayer VR Game for 2023, and further updates continue arriving two years on. With its PC VR launch, Dungeons of Eternity feels better than ever.

Eye of the Temple
Eye of the Temple is one of the best examples of a game that puts VR-first design front and center, resulting in a triumphant room-scale platformer. You begin the Indiana Jones-inspired adventure outside a large temple. With a whip in your right hand and a torch in your left, you'll begin to navigate deeper into the temple by completing puzzles and platforming obstacles.
Every movement you make in Eye of the Temple is a real, physical movement through your play space. Some clever design trickery means that you'll always stay within your boundary and never run out of space to move – a bit like Tea for God. On PC VR, this may require a little more cable management if you've got a wired headset, but the game is nonetheless a thrill to play and incredibly well-designed. Fair warning though: it does require a minimum 2m x 2m play space.

UploadVRHarry Baker
Ghost Town
Ghost Town is one of our favorite new VR games so far in 2025, and it's a strong return for Fireproof Games following The Room VR: A Dark Matter. Set in the '80s, this story focuses on a witch turned ghost hunter and exorcist called Edith Penrose, who now heads up a paranormal detective agency with her flatmate across London.
It's a brilliant supernatural puzzler that delivers a thoroughly compelling mystery, strong visuals, and intuitive puzzles that never feel too difficult or too easy. Our only complaint is that we wished it lasted longer, but don't let that deter you. If you're a fan of narrative-driven adventures, we highly recommend checking out Ghost Town. If you need more convincing, there's also a free PC VR demo.

Half-Life: Alyx
It might not technically be Half-Life 3 but make no mistake, Half-Life: Alyx from Valve is a full-sized adventure worthy of the series’ past releases. Giving it top marks in 2020, we believe that “what it does right, it almost always does the best.” Playing as Alyx Vance, you fight through City 17 in a highly polished adventure fully designed for VR, relying on classic series elements and introducing plenty of new features.
It’s 10+ hours of immaculate, AAA-level VR shootouts, puzzles, and narrative design, featuring some of the best firefights you can have inside a headset, and offers truly memorable moments within. Half-Life: Alyx is arguably the best PC VR game yet, and we hope to see more from Valve when Steam Frame arrives in 2026.

Kayak VR: Mirage
Kayak VR is a quiet highlight on this list, offering a stunning visual presentation and a relaxing experience across four locations: Papagayo, Antarctica, Bjørnøya, and Australia. There's a competitive multiplayer mode, but it's free roam where the game shines, allowing you to sit back, relax, and enjoy the view.
It may not feature a fully fledged campaign or an extensive selection of game modes, yet Kayak VR is one of the most relaxing VR experiences available on the platform and a joy to look at from every angle. That's only improved with the Soča Valley and Yucatán DLC adding two new environments, and a real-time multiplayer update also appeared.
UploadVRHenry Stockdale
Lone Echo + Lone Echo 2
Packed with strong production values, 2017's Lone Echo provides a “winning blend of intuitive movement, discovery-based gameplay, and character-driven storytelling,” using zero-gravity traversal and thoughtful character interactions to deliver a compelling campaign. It’s slow-paced, but the focus on building a link between your character and those around him pays off, as does the enormous spectacle of it all.
Ready at Dawn went further with Lone Echo 2, and the original game spawned a standalone multiplayer spin-off game, Echo VR, which was one of VR's most fun and original multiplayer experiences. Sadly, that shut down in August 2023, followed by the studio itself a year later. The single-player experiences remain untouched, forming two of the best PC VR games on Rift.
UploadVRJamie Feltham
Moss & Moss: Book 2
Though Moss and Moss: Book 2 are separate games, we've also included them as one entry on this list as they flow into each other - Book 2 picks up the story moments after the end of Book 1. Moss helped prove that third-person VR experiences can make for some of the absolute best content out on the platform right now. You guide an adorable little mouse named Quill through diorama-sized levels, solving puzzles and taking on fearsome critters in sword-based combat.
While it's mechanically refined, Moss’ real claim to fame is the bond you build with Quill over the course of the adventure. Playing as a larger companion to the tiny protagonist, you really start to connect with her as you work together to overcome obstacles. It feels very much like a team effort, which is quite a remarkable feeling in itself.
Book 2 is technically a stronger, longer sequel, but realistically feels more like a continuation of the same journey instead of a completely fresh adventure. That being said, it does add some new mechanics that innovate on the original's combat, as well as offering a wider range of environments. The Moss series is not one to miss, and a MOBA-like entry Glassbreakers will follow later this year too.

No Man’s Sky
No Man's Sky is notorious for its rocky launch in 2016. Since then, however, the game has received VR support and a wealth of updates that have turned it into an expansive survival space simulator. Various updates also overhauled many of the VR mechanics, adding new interaction methods and immersive menus, and the post-launch updates haven't stopped.
Recent updates have even improved the image quality, performance, and enhanced rendering, so the game looks better than ever. If you are keen to explore an infinite, endless universe in VR, look no further—No Man's Sky is the perfect fit. It’s impossible to deny No Man’s Sky its place on the best PC VR games list.

Onward
If Pavlov is VR’s answer to Counter-Strike, then Onward is closer to something like Arma, with a focus on hyperrealism that paved the way for the mechanical complexity VR can add to the shooter genre. Following nearly nine years in early access, Onward finally entered full release in 2025 after the major Onward 2.0 launch, and it still deserves a place on the best PC VR games list.
However, its journey has come to an end after Meta closed Downpour Interactive and merged the staff into Camouflaj (Batman: Arkham Shadow) three months after the 2.0 update. Servers remain online, though no further developer support is coming beyond critical bug fixes. It's a massive shame as even now, Onward still has some of the best fundamental VR mechanics we've seen in a VR shooter.
UploadVRDavid Heaney
Pavlov VR
Valve isn’t bringing Counter-Strike to VR anytime soon but, fortunately, we have a worthy replacement in Pavlov VR. Consistently developed over multiple years, Pavlov has turned into the fast-paced competitive shooter to beat, with tons of weapons and environments spanning multiple eras and new game modes being added at a dizzying pace.
Much like Onward and Blade & Sorcery, Pavlov spent many years in early access before receiving its full release and has cross-platform multiplayer with the PlayStation VR2 version. For multiplayer fans, it’s one of the better PC VR shooter games out there today and one that's still receiving the occasional updates.

Pistol Whip
Rhythm games are a dime a dozen in VR but, for our money, Pistol Whip from Cloudhead Games is the most inventive and overall best of the lot. One of VR's longest-running and well-updated games across all platforms, it's a beautiful intersection between rhythm games, Superhot-like action, and Matrix-style cinematic flair.
You'll move along on-rails scenes with enemies popping up to a pumping soundtrack. Your task is not just to shoot the enemies as they approach but to do so in time with the beat of the music. It's a fantastic concept that continued expanding for many years with numerous free content updates, and it's comfortably in our list of the best PC VR games.
UploadVRHarry Baker
Roboquest VR
Initially developed by RyseUp Studios, Roboquest is an FPS roguelite that first appeared on flatscreen platforms back in 2023. Already a great shooter in its own right, Flat2VR Studios took that a step further with its exhilarating adaptation. If we didn't already know it was a flatscreen game, you'd be hard pressed to and we called it “an instant classic” in our review.
Roboquest VR feels like it was natively designed for the platform, being completely rebuilt with key gameplay adjustments such as manual reloading. With a strong soundtrack, highly satisfying gameplay and considerable polish, it's incredibly impressive conversion earns a place on this list. Now all we need is the two player co-op update to arrive.

Star Wars: Squadrons
We still can’t quite believe Star Wars: Squadrons was a thing. A full Star Wars flight action game with both a single-player campaign and a huge multiplayer component… in VR? Are we sure we’re not dreaming?
Well, if we are, we don’t want to wake up because Squadrons’ highly immersive cockpits and blistering space dogfighting make for everything we ever wanted out of VR in the first place, making this, in turn, one of the best PC VR games.

Stormland
Insomniac's last major VR release before Sony acquired the studio in 2019, Stormland is a sprawling open-world action-adventure shooter with support for 2-player co-op. One of the few AAA made-for-VR games available on PC, it launched six months after the Rift S and alongside the Oculus Link feature of the original Oculus Quest.
It's not a complete triumph, and some issues do emerge across this campaign, yet Stormland still shines with its smooth combat, high production values, and strong UI interactions. Don't wait around if you're interested in grabbing this, though; Insomniac's full VR library keeps getting delisted and relisted from Meta's PC VR store.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR
Skyrim VR successfully transplants the entire RPG into headsets with full motion controls. It’s not the most in-depth implementation, but just that fact alone makes this something you won’t want to miss in VR.
Along with bestowing you with a keen sense of adventure, there are bits of Skyrim that work incredibly well in VR. That includes the moment you first encounter a dragon or inspect a sword you’ve worked hard to earn in tireless detail. There are better, more native VR games out there, but Skyrim VR is Skyrim… in VR, and that makes it worth a look.

The Gallery - Episodes 1 & 2
We’re grouping the first two installments of Cloudhead Games’ compelling adventure series together, since the first episode is on the shorter side and the two together cost about as much as a normal VR game.
The Gallery has its roots in Henson-esque dark fantasy, transporting you to amazing worlds of impossible landscapes and crazy characters on the hunt for your sister. The imaginative design makes these some of the best PC VR games despite their age. We’re just hoping Cloudhead one day gets to make Episode 3.
UploadVRDavid Jagneaux
The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners
The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners from Skydance Interactive is a PC VR essential, delivering some of the best design and user interaction you’ll find in VR. Released in 2020, “it’s a zombie apocalypse within your grasp – a living, breathing virtual ruin with player-driven highs that easily outshine its experimental lows.” It sets the bar for VR zombie games using Boneworks-style, physics-based combat.
The game will have you wrestling with undead hordes, packing its action into a full, meaty VR campaign that sees you trekking through the remains of New Orleans. Add in side missions and the ability to kill zombies with a spoon, and you have one of the deepest native VR games on the market. Though it wasn't as well received, Saints & Sinners later got a sequel with Chapter 2: Retribution.
UploadVRJamie Feltham
UNDERDOGS
One Hamsa's VR mech brawler roguelike made a big impact last year, earning our Best PC VR Game of 2024 award. UNDERDOGS is a physics-based brawler that uses arm-based locomotion and a comic book-style presentation. This 22nd-century underground roguelike fighter set a new benchmark for VR arena combat.
Between its stylish visuals, grimy soundscape, and unique character, UNDERDOGS feels fresh and exciting. Numerous post-launch updates have taken this further, such as 'Sandboxxer' with its level editor, while the more recent 'Rampage' mode added an endless endurance mode. More updates are coming, with a multiplayer mode next on the list.

Vertigo 2
Vertigo 2 is one of the best PC VR-exclusive experiences available and a masterclass in enthralling, VR-first game design. What's even more impressive is that it's largely put together by one solo developer – Zach Tsiakalis-Brown from Zulubo Productions. It pays homage to Valve classics and seminal VR releases but doesn't fall victim to copying them.
Instead, it forges ahead to create an impressive solo gaming experience in the same vein as Half-Life: Alyx, delivering a strong sequel to Vertigo Remastered. Featuring tactile weapons, creative enemies, and an engaging narrative-driven campaign, it's a shining example of what PC VR still has to offer. Two years later, the Into The Aether expansion delivered a strong conclusion to the series.

Top 25 Best PlayStation VR2 Games – Winter 2025
After the best PlayStation VR2 games? Here are our recommendations for the top 25 best PS VR2 games on the PS5 VR headset.
At launch, PlayStation VR2 came running through the door with a fairly hefty library of VR games and several exclusive titles. The PS VR2 library received a few new ports and exclusives across its first year, and it continues receiving new third-party titles as more upcoming VR games eventually arrive. We're continually trying out new experiences to keep our list of the best PS VR2 games updated, so we'll refresh our picks as time goes on.
We’ve tried to represent titles across various genres, showcasing the best picks in each and ranking all 25 games in ascending order. There are some obvious picks and first-party exclusives you might expect to appear, but there’s also a pleasant selection of hidden gems from indie developers as well.
If you own a PS5 Pro, we've also made a list of every PlayStation VR2 game with PS5 Pro enhancements. While it's a rather sparse selection at this time, we've also rounded up every PlayStation VR2 game with hand tracking support if you're interested in trying out controller-free gameplay.
Most of these games are multiplatform and also available on Quest, Steam, or the original PlayStation VR. However, they often offer improved visuals and other upgrades on PS VR2, particularly compared with Quest. Where possible, we'll highlight reviews for each game's PS VR2 editions. If a multiplatform game doesn't have any major differences, we'll link to reviews carried out on other platforms.
Honorable mentions
We have to draw a line somewhere with these lists, but there's plenty more great options to choose from on PlayStation VR2. So, we'd like to offer some honorable mentions here, too. These are all games that were either previously included on our list or didn't quite beat out the rest.
We've linked our reviews or other coverage below where possible, and here are a few additional choices worth looking into.
- A Fisherman's Tale 2, Among Us 3D, Before Your Eyes, Cave Crave, C-Smash VRS, Ghosts of Tabor, Hidden Memories of the Gardens Between, Humanity, Into Black, Job Simulator, Maestro, Max Mustard, Madison VR, Moss, Moss: Book 2, Pavlov, Phasmophobia, Red Matter 2, Smash Drums, Subside, Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy's Edge, The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR, Vampire: The Masquerade - Justice, Vertigo 2, Waltz of the Wizard, Wanderer: The Fragments of Fate, What the Bat?
With that said, here are our current picks for the top 25 best PS VR2 games available right now.
Alien: Rogue Incursion - Part One
Developed by Survios, Alien: Rogue Incursion - Part One is a single-player, action-horror VR game with an original story. Starring Zula Hendricks as the protagonist, this former Colonial Marine turned Xenomorph hunter focuses on the search for Zula's former squad mate, who's gone missing on the remote mining planet Purdan.
What follows is a commendable yet sometimes flawed entry in the series. Our launch review praised the “immersive atmosphere, engaging storytelling, and captivating emotional character dynamics,” though we criticized some repetitive elements and lack of closure. Even still, Alien: Rogue Incursion delivers a strong choice if you're looking for a new VR action adventure. Just make sure you don't accidentally buy the 'Evolved Edition', that's a flatscreen only version.

Arizona Sunshine 2
Arizona Sunshine 2 is a fantastic VR campaign featuring pitch-perfect writing, acting, pacing, and outstanding action. It's everything you hope for in a sequel, taking everything that worked in the original and refining it to near perfection. This time, you'll be joined on your adventure by canine companion Buddy, who you'll use for crowd control during intense action sequences and develop a relationship with across the course of the campaign.
This follow-up to one of VR's seminal early hits reanimates the zombie genre and brings with it some of the most engaging and accessible arcade violence we've seen in VR. Plus, the entire campaign is playable in two-player co-op, just like the first game. Whether you're looking to dismember some zombies alone or with friends, Arizona Sunshine 2 is a great pick. And when you're finished, we recommend checking out Arizona Sunshine Remake too.

Arken Age
Arken Age is a game that's paid clear attention to evolutions in VR gameplay design across the last decade and utilizes those to its advantage. Developer VitruviusVR has delivered a satisfying sci-fi action-adventure where you defend this fantasy world against mechanical creatures, offering a sizable campaign with room for a follow-up.
That's all assisted by a vibrant presentation with great visuals and strong audio design, and PS5 Pro owners get a noticeable boost too. Native 90fps gameplay is available with a resolution boost, while both PS5 consoles use dynamic foveated rendering and eye-tracking for aim assist. It's one of our favorite VR games of 2025 so far and an absolute must for action fans.
UploadVRHenry Stockdale
Beat Saber
For the longest time, Beat Saber has been VR's poster child and one of its earliest (and continuing) successes. It's always been a natural fit for VR, where you'll slash notes to the beat of the music, dodge obstacles, and try to master a truly spectacular selection of first-class music tracks. It's an empowering, energetic, and addictive VR game.
There's been plenty of new DLC added to Beat Saber over the years, including high-profile artists like Lady Gaga, The Rolling Stones, Queen, Billie Eilish, Sabrina Carpenter, and many more. On PS VR2, Beat Saber delivers improved visuals and great haptic support via the Sense controllers, alongside cross-buy support with the original PSVR version and DLC.
However, we may remove this entry in future list updates. Beat Saber is ending PlayStation VR and PS VR2 support with no further content updates to come, while multiplayer support will end for both headsets on January 21, 2026.

Before Your Eyes
Before Your Eyes is a tragic yet beautiful narrative experience, with the VR version available exclusively on PS VR2. It's a unique 90-minute story with an eye tracking mechanic unlike any other use of the technology so far. You're transported back into the memories of the protagonist, Benny, experiencing them from his first-person perspective as they happened.
The catch is that every time you blink, the story moves forward. Sometimes, it's just a moment, and sometimes, it's a jump forward a few years into the future. What follows is a unique, compelling, and innovative VR experience that demonstrates how the medium can tell stories that movies, games, and other media can't. Plus, it's a controller-free experience with very little artificial movement, making it accessible to almost anyone.

Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked
For the longest time, Demeo held a seemingly permanent spot on this list. We considered Resolution Games' 2021 tabletop game to be a major hit, delivering a first-rate four-player multiplayer VR experience that few games – flatscreen or VR – have ever matched. Demeo Battles doesn't scratch the same itch as a PvP spin-off, though Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked stylishlly surpasses the original.
While Battlemarked doesn't use a Dungeon Master (DM) system, what's here is an incredibly natural crossover with Wizards of the Coast's successful tabletop RPG. It evolves on the original Demeo's formula well, letting you and a group of friends traverse dungeons with more narrative-driven campaigns. No matter the platform, it's a must have co-op experience.
Ghost Town
Ghost Town is one of our favorite new VR games in 2025, and it's a strong return for Fireproof Games following The Room VR: A Dark Matter. Set in the '80s, this story focuses on a witch turned ghost hunter and exorcist called Edith Penrose, who now heads up a paranormal detective agency with her flatmate across London.
It's a brilliant supernatural puzzler that delivers a thoroughly compelling mystery, fantastic visuals, and intuitive puzzles that never feel too difficult or too easy. Our only big complaint is that we wished it lasted longer, and it's slightly let down on PS VR2 by using reprojection from 60Hz to 120Hz. Still, don't let that deter you. If you're a fan of narrative-driven adventures, we highly recommend taking a look.

Gran Turismo 7
Gran Turismo 7 is one of the most potent racing sims to ever grace VR, and it's available exclusively for PS VR2. While the menus display on a flat screen in the headset, the races and gameplay itself will take place in full, immersive VR - it's a sight to behold.
Not only is the game stunning, it offers fantastic racing simulation with various levels of difficulty, a full campaign, and many other modes, all available in VR. For racing fans, this is an absolute must.
UploadVRHenry Stockdale
Hitman World of Assassination
Hitman World of Assassination on PlayStation VR2 is technically the fourth time we've seen IO Interactive's series adapted for VR, and this is easily the best edition yet. This latest release improves on the previous PSVR and PC VR versions by offering ambidextrous controls, dual-wielding, manual reloading, and roomscale gameplay.
It's a redeemed experience that's further enhanced by improved weapons handling and full physical interactions across these environments, such as poisoning food by pouring a vial of poison onto it. Sadly, plenty of side content doesn't support VR, like the bonus missions. Still, if you're after a lengthy campaign with high replayability, Hitman World of Assassination is an excellent choice.

Horizon Call of the Mountain
As one of the few first-party games with PlayStation VR2 support, Horizon Call of the Mountain quickly left its mark when the headset launched back in 2023. This PS VR2 exclusive is one of the most visually stunning and dense VR experiences available, with some stunning environments that rival Half-Life: Alyx.
While the gameplay isn't necessarily revelatory for VR, it is nonetheless incredibly polished and a stunning experience to behold in the headset as you explore a different side of this world as someone apart from Aloy. We awarded it our Favorite New PS VR2 Game for 2023 and for any PS VR2 owner, Horizon Call of the Mountain is a must-have.

Kayak VR: Mirage
Kayak VR: Mirage was a highlight of the PS VR2 launch lineup, offering a stunning visual presentation and a relaxing experience across four locations: Papagayo, Antarctica, Bjørnøya, and Australia. There's a competitive multiplayer mode, but it's free roam where the game shines, allowing you to sit back, relax, and enjoy the view.
It may not feature a fully fledged campaign or an extensive selection of game modes, yet Kayak VR is one of the most relaxing VR experiences available on the platform and a joy to look at from every angle. That's only improved with the Soča Valley and Yucatán DLCs introducing two new environments, and a real-time multiplayer update also appeared.

Lumines Arise
It's almost impossible to discuss Lumines Arise without comparing it to the studio's prior work on Tetris Effect. These two series have always been separate and while your mileage will vary on which game you prefer, the parallels between both are undeniably striking. Either way, Lumines Arise is arguably the long running puzzle series' best entry yet.
Core gameplay remains almost unchanged from prior entries, where you match 2x2 blocks to clear the grid across a campaign mode. Placing a 2D game here may seem strange, yet Lumines Arise's stunning presentation feels even better with its optional PlayStation VR2 support. It's a mesmerizing audiovisual spectacle that truly sings inside a headset.

Metro Awakening
Developed by Vertigo Games, Metro Awakening is an origin story based on the post-apocalyptic series by Dmitry Glukhovsky that takes place five years before Metro 2033. It's an impressive first-person shooter packed with impressive atmospheric immersion, all while delivering a strong narrative that grapples with difficult themes of grief and mental health.
Though our review noted some issues with repetition and sometimes clumsy reloading, combat generally feels satisfying. The enemy AI can offer a considerable challenge as you weigh up being stealthy or going in guns blazing, and it gets our recommendation on PlayStation VR2.

No Man's Sky
No Man's Sky is notorious for its rocky launch in 2016. Since then, however, the game received VR support and a wealth of updates that have turned it into an expansive survival space simulator. Various updates also overhauled many of the VR mechanics, adding new interaction methods and immersive menus, and the post-launch updates haven't stopped.
On PlayStation VR2, No Man's Sky brings the entire experience to the next generation. Recent updates even improved the image quality and added enhanced rendering, so the game now looks better than ever. If you want to explore an infinite, endless universe in VR, look no further—No Man's Sky is the perfect fit. It's also the first PS VR2 game to use PS5 Pro's PSSR AI upscaling.

Of Lies And Rain
Developed by Castello Inc., Of Lies and Rain is a near-future narrative-driven FPS where you fight to save humanity from near extinction, using the ability to cross between the real and digital realms. What follows is a memorable narrative-driven adventure that takes roughly over 10 hours to clear, helped by gripping exploration and intriguing puzzle mechanics.
It's arguably even better on PlayStation VR2, boosting some already impressive visuals with native 90fps performance or 120fps if you're using a PS5 Pro. If you need more convincing to jump in, Castello released a free PS VR2 demo that's also available on other platforms.
Pistol Whip
Pistol Whip is one of VR's longest-running and well-updated games across all platforms. Luckily, it shines on PS VR2, looking fantastic and taking advantage of PS VR2's unique features such as adaptive triggers in the Sense controllers. Headset haptics on PS VR2 also add to the immersion, letting you truly feel each time you get shot and giving those moments a much greater sense of impact.
It's a beautiful intersection between rhythm games, Superhot-like action, and Matrix-style cinematic flair. You'll move along on-rail scenes with enemies popping up to a pumping soundtrack. Your task is not just to shoot the enemies as they approach but to do so in time with the beat of the music. It's a fantastic concept, and developers Cloudhead Games continued expanding the game for years with numerous free content updates.

Reach
Marking the debut game from nDreams Elevation, Reach won us over earlier this year on PlayStation VR2 more than any other platform. A cinematic story where you portray a reluctant hero, this adventure sees you unearthing the secrets of an underground civilization as you take down a series of mythical threats.
It's not one we'd recommend for VR newcomers; what's here is an unapologetically high-intensity action game that remains thrilling throughout. Blending this with cinematic thrills, high production values and highly satisfying combat, Reach ultimately won us over with its strong VR-focused design. Two major post-launch updates for all platforms have only strengthened it further.

Resident Evil Village
Resident Evil Village marks the second mainline Resident Evil game to get VR support after Resident Evil 7: Biohazard launched with PSVR support in 2017. Much like Biohazard, Village is a phenomenal launch title for PS VR2 and a remarkable horror shooter with a fully fledged campaign that's captivating from start to finish.
It's particularly impressive given that the game was designed for flatscreen platforms first. However, that also means that it features sequences that might be fairly intense for new VR users. Expect your head and field of view to be quickly repositioned, shoved, and moved around without notice. Nonetheless, the well-paced campaign, gorgeous visuals, and engaging gunplay make Resident Evil Village easily one of the best experiences on PS VR2 right now.

Resident Evil 4 Remake
Yes, we know - there are two Resident Evil campaigns on the same list. However, both games deserve it. While Village is a fantastic campaign in its own right, the Resident Evil 4 Remake VR Mode is the definitive way to play an all-time classic in VR. It's worth noting this is actually the second version of Resident Evil 4 in VR - the first being Armature's 2021 port of the original for Quest.
This new release lets you experience Capcom's recent remake, featuring updated gameplay and modern visuals, in VR Mode for PS VR2. While the remake doesn't completely escape the trappings of its third-person origins, it nonetheless presents a thrilling, nonstop campaign with excellent action and stunning console-powered visuals. It's Capcom's best Resident Evil campaign in VR to date, and there's a free VR Mode demo available too.

Roboquest VR
Initially developed by RyseUp Studios, Roboquest is an FPS roguelite that first appeared on flatscreen platforms back in 2023. Already a great shooter in its own right, Flat2VR Studios took that a step further with its exhilarating adaptation. If we didn't already know it was a flatscreen game, you'd be hard pressed to and we called it “an instant classic” in our review.
Roboquest VR feels like it was natively designed for the platform, being completely rebuilt with key gameplay adjustments such as manual reloading. With a strong soundtrack, highly satisfying gameplay and considerable polish, it's incredibly impressive conversion earns a place on this list - especially after getting a native 90fps mode. Now all we need is the two player co-op update to arrive.

Skydance's Behemoth
After its work on The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners, Skydance Games followed this up with an original action RPG, Skydance's Behemoth. Inspired by Shadow of the Colossus, this giant killing adventure sees you exploring the Forsaken Lands. Behemoth is ultimately at its best when facing the terrifying foes, and this delivers some truly awe-inspiring moments.
While we won't deny that Skydance's Behemoth had a rough start - we noted a few issues in our own review - things have begun turning around following a slew of post-launch updates. Alongside extensive bug fixes across the first two patches and combat adjustments, it's also added New Game+, plus a boss rush mode and Arena Mode revamp.

Synapse
Synapse is a PS VR2 exclusive from veteran VR studio nDreams that will make you feel like a gun-wielding Jedi, thanks to the creative use of the headset's eye-tracking technology.
The highlight of this roguelike shooter is the telekinetic abilities. You can intuitively select items around the environment by just looking at them, then launch them at enemies using motion controls. Gameplay would benefit from a bit more variety but it's a visually stunning release, and the eye-tracking implementation results in some super-satisfying combat.

The Midnight Walk
Following his work on PSVR's Ghost Giant, Olov Redmalm is working in VR once again with a new studio, MoonHood. Featuring optional PlayStation VR2 support, The Midnight Walk marks the team's debut title with a dark puzzle adventure that uses claymation visuals. We found it to be enchanting and bleak in equal measure, comparing it to a twisted fairytale and a Tim Burton film.
It's a memorable adventure and one of the most visually unique experiences you can find in VR gaming right now. Though we noted some small issues and found the puzzles relatively easy, The Midnight Walk delivers a gripping adventure that's worth your time.

UNDERDOGS
One Hamsa's VR mech brawler roguelike made a big impact last year, earning our Best PC VR Game of 2024 award. UNDERDOGS is a physics-based brawler that uses arm-based locomotion and a comic book-style presentation. This 22nd century underground roguelike fighter set a new benchmark for VR arena combat.
Between its stylish visuals, grimy soundscape, and unique character, UNDERDOGS feels fresh and exciting. Numerous post-launch updates have taken this further, such as 'Sandboxxer' with its level editor, while the more recent 'Rampage' mode added an endless endurance mode. More updates are coming, with a multiplayer mode next on the list.

Walkabout Mini Golf
Mini golf is actually something that could and should work quite well in VR. Walkabout Mini Golf is all the proof you need; it's an accurate representation of the game that goes beyond what's possible in real life while also remaining authentic throughout.
This ticks all the boxes. Plenty of courses, extensive multiplayer support, different themes for each level, and, above all, pinpoint physics that are arguably better than the real thing because there are none of the small snags you'd find on the surface of physical courses. Plus, the game receives ongoing support from developers Mighty Coconut, with regular free and paid DLC courses added over time.

Meta Interaction SDK Gets Hand Tracking Climbing, Improved Locomotion & Throwing
Meta's Interaction SDK for Unity got a major update that adds new locomotion modes for hand tracking and enables more customizable throwing.
The Interaction SDK is a Unity framework providing high-quality common interactions for controllers and hand tracking. It includes direct object grabbing, distance grabbing, interactable UI elements, gesture detection, and more. This means developers don’t have to reinvent the wheel, and users don’t have to relearn interactions between apps using the SDK.
Meta Interaction SDK is also available for Unreal Engine, but that version is missing many features, including these new additions and improvements.
New Locomotion Options For Hand Tracking
Almost three years ago, the Interaction SDK got a teleportation locomotion system for controller-free hand tracking, with a free demo utilizing it available on the store.
UploadVRDavid Heaney
With the v83 update, three new locomotion options for hand tracking have been introduced.
"Telepath" Locomotion
"Telepath" locomotion is like a hybrid between teleportation and smooth locomotion.
You tap your thumb to the side of your index finger to initiate the movement, a microgesture, and instead of teleporting to the location you select, you smoothly slide there.

If there are jumpable obstacles in the path, you'll automatically jump over them.
"Walking Stick" Locomotion
"Walking Stick" locomotion gives the player virtual, optionally invisible walking sticks to push down against the virtual floor to move forwards.

It's somewhat similar to the locomotion system popularized by Gorilla Tag, just optimized for hand tracking and standing height, rather than pretending to be a short creature with controllers.
Climbing
Many VR games include climbing, though most focus on tracked controllers, using the grip trigger to grab on to a hold.

Interaction SDK's climbing supports controller-free hand tracking too, extending the current concept of a Grabbable to a Climbable. On a basic level, the result is essentially the opposite: instead of moving the grabbed object to the player, it moves the player towards the grabbed object.
More Customizable Throwing
Meta says it has improved the throwing system in Interaction SDK with more customization options for different kinds of throwing.
According to Meta, this includes:
- Darts and precision throws
- Bowling and weighted arc motion
- Frisbee-style flight paths
- Cornhole, football, and basketball
As with the locomotion improvements, these new throwing options are optimized for controller-free hand tracking.
UploadVRDavid Heaney
For over a year now, Interaction SDK has supported non-Meta headsets, so VR developers targeting other platforms should be able to use these new locomotion systems for hand tracking.

Trombone Champ: Unflattened Gets DLC Crossover With Indie Hit Celeste
Trombone Champ: Unflattened gets an official crossover with indie hit Celeste, adding 10 tracks in a new song pack today.
For the unfamiliar, Celeste is a 2018 flatscreen platformer developed by Maddy Makes Games. Playing as Madeline, you seek to climb Celeste Mountain while a personification of her self-doubt attempts to stop her. It features a soundtrack by composer Lena Raine, this song pack is now officially available in both Trombone Champ and Trombone Champ: Unflattened.
Flat2VR Studios advised that because some included songs originally ran for 10 minutes or more, they have “carefully edited them down for length while keeping the parts that hit.”
You can find the full Celeste Song Pack track list below:
- First Steps
- Madeline and Theo
- Resurrections
- Spirit of Hospitality
- Scattered and Lost
- Starjump
- Reflection
- Confronting Myself
- Heart of the Mountain
- Reach for the Summit.
While Unflattened only receives the Celeste Song Pack, the flatscreen version of Trombone Champ gets two additional DLCs today with 14 songs each. One is based on cartoon platformer Pizza Tower, joined by an Undertale + Deltarune pack. It's worth remembering the latter previously received Unflattened DLC in August, though that only contained six songs.
The Celeste Song Pack for Trombone Champ: Unflattened is out now for $7.99 on Quest, PC VR, and PlayStation VR2.

Street Gods Review: A Norse Rogue In Need Of A Spark
Street Gods, one of two Norse mythology-inspired VR roguelites coming to Meta Quest in December, emphasizes style and power fantasy over any real impactful combat.
Developer Soul Assembly has a long history with combat-heavy VR titles, like the Drop Dead series, Last Stand, Warhammer 40,000: Battle Sister. While it occasionally dabbles in other genres, like working on Just Dance VR, action games are its bread and butter. All the aforementioned games, primarily shooters mind you, received mostly the same critical response. Straightforward, albeit shallow, and fun to play with friends.
What is it?: A Norse mythology-based roguelite
Platforms: Meta Quest 3/3S (reviewed on Quest 3)
Release Date: December 18, 2025
Developer/Publisher: Soul Assembly
Price: $19.99
So, given Soul Assembly's history and the genre we're dipping into, the first thing that surprised me in this game is how forward the story is. Most roguelites deliver the setting in a cursory introduction that just sets the table for the carnage that will ensue. Street Gods surprisingly takes its time with a lengthier than expected multi-part tutorial that arguably takes a bit too long with the setup, but in hindsight turns out to be the best part of the game.
You play as Val, a street-smart graffiti artist who happens upon Mjölnir, the signature weapon of Thor, the Norse God of Thunder. As you approach it, Mjölnir inexplicably begins to speak to you. This voice is Thor himself, entrapped in his own weapon for reasons beyond his own understanding. You pick up the hammer and are immediately attacked by what can only be described as Norse zombies, who look ripped straight out of the Drop Dead universe with different clothes on.
It's here that my primary issue with Street Gods comes up. Thor teaches you how to swing and throw Mjölnir to defeat the undead, but nothing really lands. I realize that when playing VR, you are ostensibly always swinging at air, but most melee-heavy games get around this with a combination of controller haptics, sound effects, and visual cues (sparks, blood, enemy reactions, etc.). There is no real crunch here, no impact, no visceral immersion to the combat. The controller haptics are extremely weak, so when unleashing power attacks like shooting lightning from the hammer, it doesn't feel like much of anything because both the haptics and sound effects are so subdued. The 'clank' sound of the hammer on impact is fine, but not enough. It needs more oomph, to be blunt.
Street Gods early-game combat - Captured by UploadVR on Meta Quest 3
Now, this may be by design, since you are imbued with the power(s) of a God in this game, but the power fantasy here is muted by the lack of physicality. This is a fairly lightweight arcade-like experience with a heavily comic book-inspired aesthetic (more on that later). The arcade feel shines through as you tear through enemies like wet paper with all of your various abilities, but I couldn't shake the combat's lifeless energy.
Having said that, Street Gods makes up for its general lack of substance with all kinds of style. As you quickly unlock new abilities, you'll be tossing enemies around with lightning-powered hammer uppercuts, a golden lasso that can yank foes all over the map, unleashing lightning attacks, and so on. The elongated introduction has a stretch where you are falling through the merging of Earth and Asgard, and that sequence is terrific. The game feels cool to play, but that level of cool can be fleeting depending on your personal tastes. I found myself losing interest about 20 minutes into each of my runs because of combat.
This extends to the power-ups. After dispatching all the enemies in an arena, you are presented with a chest with the standard assortment of power-ups and perks: more health, better defense, increased attack power when health is low, and so on. New abilities are unlocked in an arena that lets you practice before you move forward. Occasionally, a new ability would spawn as a perk, like dropping a bomb behind you when you dash, but they are few and far between. All the tropes are here, but at its core, there's nothing new to veteran roguelite players.




Street Gods screenshots captured by UploadVR
One of the tricky things to get right in a game that plays in power fantasies is balancing said fantasy with a sense of peril. Street Gods falls woefully short here. I never felt any real sense of danger during any of my runs. Enemies can spawn all around you, but maybe owing to the limitations of standalone VR, there are never more than a handful onscreen at any given moment and they go down so easily that you hardly ever get hit.
Even as the game ramps up with a few new enemy variations with area of effect attacks, they're still taken out from range simply by throwing Mjölnir (which eventually gets powered up to hit multiple enemies). Health is dropped in droves by enemies upon death too, so even if you do take damage, it's easily nullified. Compare this to Drop Dead: The Cabin, another Soul Assembly title, where restrictions on map traversal and scarcity of supplies make every run a struggle and that is sorely missed here.
Visually, Street Gods is an interesting study in contrasts. The story of the game is the Norse realms are colliding and merging with Earth (Midgard), so you do battle in city streets with otherworldly vines and giant crystals protruding from them. It looks quite nice, but after the umpteenth time in the same map, even with switching things up with different times of day & weather, it gets old pretty quickly. Most of the maps are quite colorful, except for the snow-covered areas. These are blindingly washed out, so much so that I had to turn down the brightness on my Quest.
Acquiring a new blessing in Street Gods - Captured by UploadVR on Meta Quest 3
Occasionally, between levels, you'll travel to a hub between realms to get some exposition from your talking hammer and a rock with paper drawn eyes and a crown representing Loki. This hub area is the nicest looking part of the game by far. You can also damage the vehicles and dumpsters in each level, but like the enemies, the damage just sort of happens. If you are old enough to recall destroying the car in Street Fighter II, same idea here. Frame A, perfectly fine. Frame B, destroyed. With no animation or motion between the two, other than a plume of fire for vehicles.
As stated earlier, the common enemies look ripped straight from a Drop Dead game, with gangly looking movements and a comic book-esque word pop-up when getting hit, but in motion, they don't look great. If they are far away from you, they visibly move at a lower framerate and this frame drop repeats when you knock them far away. Once you see it, you can't unsee it. Graphically, Street Gods is a mixed bag.
The world of Street Gods doesn't take itself too seriously, choosing to lean on the (hopefully) fun combat and powers to keep the player engaged. The exchanges in the hub area are mostly played for laughs, with the voice actors delivering their lines like the straight man in a goofball comedy. Some of it lands, but most of it doesn't. Val and Thor also quip endlessly during combat, with some of their lines clumsily stacking over each other, and after 2 or 3 runs, I had heard them all and was begging for a mute button. Same with the music, which felt very run-of-the-mill and on a short loop. There is a story here, with hints at Val's backstory and questions as to how and why Thor is imprisoned in his own weapon, but the dialogue and the characters are so ho-hum that it's difficult to get invested.
Comfort
Street Gods uses artificial stick-based movement with no option for teleport movement. Players can choose between snap and smooth turning with speed settings for each, a sitting mode with a height adjustment, and a motion vignette while moving.
Mjölnir, your primary weapon in the game, defaults to your right hand. This can also be changed to your left hand in the settings menu.
Finally, when I was approaching my first boss fight, I entered the portal and the game crashed after 3 minutes of black screen with music playing. When I reloaded, it just dropped me back into more waves, this time in a new element type (snow) that I hadn't seen yet. I had to let myself die and delete my save data to in essence restart the game to get back to the boss fight, which thankfully loaded on the second attempt. Performance was fine to start, but after that crash, I started to see some stuttering and frame drops when a lot of enemies were onscreen.
Hopefully this can be fixed with patches, but having to restart took me out of the game completely. I put it down for some time before jumping back in.
Street Gods - Final Verdict
If you are an action junkie just here to wreck enemies, there are better roguelites available in VR with more engaging combat than Street Gods. Even as a power fantasy, the lack of weapon variety, uninspired enemies, repetitive locations, and power-ups make Street Gods a struggle to hold your attention for long.

Top 25 Best Meta Quest 3 & 3S Games - Winter 2025
Want the best Meta Quest 3 and 3S games? Here are our top 25 picks available now.
Before we begin, it's worth noting that our best Quest 2 games list and best Quest 3 games list are maintained separately. There's some natural crossover, of course, but with a few key differences. On Quest 3 and 3S, our recommendations will also consider upgraded visuals, mixed reality experiences, better performance, and newer releases that shine on this VR headset.
We'll continue to update our other list while the headset remains supported, though both Quest 2 and Quest Pro are discontinued. Still, we want our Quest 2 recommendations to provide insight into the best VR games for that generation as more upcoming VR games arrive. That's why we've tried to approach our Quest 3 list with a fresh perspective: we want it to feel like a good representation of games that play best on this generation of standalone VR. Some of the more recent Quest 3/3S games aren't available on the older headset, either.
In the past, we've taken a ranked approach to choosing our top 25 Quest 3 and 3S games, but we've now adopted a different strategy with an unranked list. That's because some games simply aren't comparable in a meaningful sense, so we've now listed our recommendations without a score and in alphabetical order. This list also aims to offer variety across different genres, ensuring there's something for everyone.
Honorable Mentions
We have to draw a line somewhere with these lists, but if you're after even more recommendations, fear not. While we've also got separate lists for both the best mixed reality games and the best free games on Quest 3/3S, we've got some honorable mentions here too. These are usually games that were either previously included on our list or didn't quite beat out the rest.
We've linked our reviews or other coverage below where possible, and here are a few additional choices worth looking into.
- A Fisherman's Tale, Action Hero, Alien: Rogue Incursion, Among Us 3D, Besiege VR, Contractors Showdown, Deadly Delivery, Ghosts of Tabor, Ghost Signal: A Stellaris Game, Glassbreakers, Gorn 2, Hide the Corpse, Little Cities, Mannequin, Max Mustard, Of Lies and Rain, Pixel Dungeon, Reach, Starwave, Sushi Ben, Thief VR, Unplugged, Vampire: The Masquerade - Justice, VRacer Hoverbike, Vendetta Forever.
For games previously released on Quest 2, we've often linked our original reviews in our recommendations below. However, where appropriate, we've also linked to footage and articles detailing Quest 3-specific changes, enhancements, and updates that added significant new content since our initial reviews.
Arizona Sunshine 2
Arizona Sunshine 2 is a fantastic VR campaign featuring pitch-perfect writing, acting, pacing, and outstanding action. It's everything you hope for in a sequel, taking everything that worked in the original and refining it to near perfection. This time, you'll be joined on your adventure by canine companion Buddy, who you'll use for crowd control during intense action sequences and develop a relationship with across the course of the campaign.
This follow-up to one of VR's seminal early hits reanimates the zombie genre and brings with it some of the most engaging and accessible arcade violence we've seen in VR. Plus, the entire campaign is playable in two-player co-op, just like the first game. Whether you're looking to dismember some zombies alone or with friends, Arizona Sunshine 2 is a great pick. And when you're finished, we recommend checking out Arizona Sunshine Remake too.

Arken Age
Arken Age is a game that's paid clear attention to evolutions in VR gameplay design across the last decade and takes full advantage. Developer VitruviusVR delivered a satisfying sci-fi action-adventure where you defend this fantasy world against mechanical creatures. There's a sizable campaign here further complemented by a vibrant presentation and strong audio design.
This culminates in one of our favorite VR games of 2025, and Arken Age later received a Quest 3 port following its initial Steam and PS VR2 release. It's a fine transition to standalone VR, making this an absolute must for action fans regardless of platform. Our full review is below and you can check out our dedicated hands-on impressions for the Quest 3 edition here.

Asgard's Wrath 2
Asgard's Wrath 2 offers impressive scale on an uncharted level previously unseen on Quest headsets. It features many incredible moments of bespoke gameplay, expert cinematic direction, and sequences of god-like proportions. However, it also wraps its best moments around an open world that can feel fairly unsatisfying to explore and an RPG structure that sometimes feels as though it gets in the way of the main campaign.
There were very few Quest 3-specific upgrades initially, featuring textures, lighting and an overall graphics presentation aimed at Quest 2. However, it's since received an enhanced graphics mode on Quest 3 and various limited time events. This game isn't a tight linear experience – there's more of those below – but if you're looking for an expansive, near-overwhelming RPG to dig into, then Asgard's Wrath 2 is the best offering on Quest 3.

Assassin's Creed Nexus
There was a lot of understandable doubt about whether the Assassin's Creed franchise could survive the transition to VR and come out better on the other end. However, Assassin's Creed Nexus proves that the series can absolutely work in VR and manages to stand proud with the main series.
It presents players with a 20-hour campaign that leaves them wanting more, demonstrating what a full VR entry can do for a big franchise. Adapting the series' stealth, parkour, and combat into a new immersive format works wonders - Nexus is the most fun we've had with the Assassin's Creed franchise yet.

Batman: Arkham Shadow
Batman: Arkham Shadow brought the series back to VR with a brilliant return for The Dark Knight, becoming UploadVR's Game of the Year for 2024. Set between Arkham Origins and Arkham Asylum, we find Gotham City besieged by the mysterious Rat King. What follows is a compelling tale that remains faithful to the flatscreen games while innovating in its own way through VR-specific design and satisfying combat.
While Camouflaj has moved on to its next project - which appears to be a sequel, according to Commissioner Gordon's voice actor - Batman: Arkham Shadow received numerous post-launch updates that's only enhanced the experience further. That includes a New Game+ mode with a brand new post-credits scene and additional challenge missions, and the last major update went even further with an Extreme difficulty setting.

Beat Saber
For the longest time, Beat Saber has been VR's poster child and one of its earliest (and continuing) successes. It's always been a natural fit on Quest, where you'll slash notes to the beat of the music, dodge obstacles and try to master a truly spectacular selection of first-class music tracks. It's an empowering, energetic and addictive VR game.
There's been plenty of new DLC added to Beat Saber over the years, including music packs or individual songs featuring high-profile artists like Lady Gaga, The Rolling Stones, Queen, Billie Eilish, Metallica, Kendrick Lamar, Sabrina Carpenter, Coldplay, and more. Not long after the headset launched, Beat Games also released an update adding support for playing at 120Hz on Quest 3.

Cubism
Cubism is an understated but absolutely stunning VR puzzle game – and one that's deceptively simple. Each level features a 3D wireframe shape into which you have to fit different Tetris-like block pieces. The puzzles get harder and the pieces more complex – it’s a slow and measured puzzle experience. While it may not be as flashy as some titles on this list, Cubism is an experience that is perfectly designed for the current capabilities of Quest hardware.
The minimalist design, reserved sousoundtrack,d its simple nature all come together to create a fantastic and polished end product. It's also regularly updated to support the latest cutting-edge VR features – post-launch updates include mixed reality support, hand tracking, and 120Hz. It's one of the best mixed reality experiences on Quest 3 right now; MR support is a game-changer for Cubism on Quest 3.

Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked
For the longest time, Demeo basically held a permanent spot on this list. We considered Resolution Games' 2021 tabletop game to be a genuine hit, delivering a first-rate four-player multiplayer VR experience that few games – flatscreen or VR – have ever really matched. Demeo Battles doesn't quite scratch the same itch as a PvP spin-off, though Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked surpassed the original in style.
While Battlemarked doesn't use a Dungeon Master (DM) system, what's here is an incredibly natural crossover with Wizards of the Coast's successful tabletop RPG. It evolves on the original Demeo's formula well, letting you and a group of friends traverse dungeons with more narrative-driven campaigns. Combined with controller-free hand tracking and colocation for local multiplayer, it's a must have co-op experience.

Dungeons of Eternity
If you're looking for a fantasy action RPG that you can play with a group of friends, Dungeons of Eternity is the obvious pick. This first-person immersive experience feels significantly polished across all Quest headsets, allowing you and up to three more friends (PC VR crossplay also supported) to explore various hack-n-slash combat options while clearing rooms in true “dungeon crawler” style.
Dungeons of Eternity caters to many styles of play, pairing a rewarding progression system with endless randomly generated dungeons. There's a good reason why we named it our Best New Multiplayer VR Game for 2023, and further updates continue arriving two years on. For an immersive first-person dungeon crawler, there's no better pick on Quest 3.

Eye of the Temple
Eye of the Temple is one of the best examples of a game designed from the ground up for VR, and a triumphant room-scale platformer on Quest. In this Indiana Jones-inspired adventure, you'll begin outside a large temple with a whip in one hand and a torch in the other. Work your way deeper into the temple by completing puzzles and navigating platforming obstacles along the way. Thanks to its Quest 3 upgrade, it looks even better on the new headset.
The genius part of Eye of the Temple is that the room-scale approach means almost all movement is real around your play space. Some clever design tricks ensure you never have to worry about walking out of your play space or into your guardian (which also makes it a great experience for those who are starting out with VR). Be warned, though: you'll need a decent amount of space - Eye of the Temple requires a minimum play area of 2m×2m.

Ghost Town
Ghost Town is one of our favorite new VR games so far in 2025, and it's a strong return for Fireproof Games following The Room VR: A Dark Matter. Set in the '80s, this story focuses on a witch turned ghost hunter and exorcist called Edith Penrose, who now heads up a paranormal detective agency with her flatmate across London.
It's a brilliant supernatural puzzler that delivers a thoroughly compelling mystery, fantastic visuals on Quest 3, and intuitive puzzles that never feel too difficult or too easy. Our only complaint is that we wished it lasted longer, but don't let that deter you. If you're a fan of narrative-driven adventures, we highly recommend checking out Ghost Town.

GOLF+
GOLF+ is one of the oldest hits on the Quest platform, and it continues growing. Playable solo or in online multiplayer, the base game includes three courses, while DLC courses are available as individual purchases or through a subscription pass. On Quest 3, that's even better thanks to visual upgrades around the headset's launch.
It's an impressive experience that still delivers regular post-launch updates, and developer GolfScope revamped the visuals for its original full course back in February, followed by adding new Meta Avatars with legs in April. If you're after a more relaxed VR sports game with friends, GOLF+ is a great choice.

Hotel Infinity
Hotel Infinity is one of the best examples you'll currently find for a true roomscale VR experience. Originally startingas an attempt to adapt Studio Chyr's previous game to VR, Manifold Garden, this adventure puzzle game employs similar techniques seen in Tea For God to make its physically 2×2 meter space feel much larger than it is.
While you can use artificial stick-based locomotion on your controllers to move, we highly suggest you find the space if possible to physically walk around. It's not the longest game and some puzzles can feel relatively straightforward across this five chapter journey, yet Hotel Infinity shines in its execution.

Laser Dance
Laser Dance is the second appearance for a Thomas Van Bouwel (Cubism) title on this list. Supporting dynamic occlusion and Inside Out Body Tracking, we called it "the first essential mixed reality game" in our early access review. Once you've scanned your room, you're then tasked with dodging different types of lasers as you clear the room.
If you're looking to show off what mixed reality gaming can do, Laser Dance is one of the best introductions with its instantly relatable premise. Further updates are planned during its early access period, with promised upcoming additions including an additional laser type, more challenges, and music. We'll be back on the scene when it enters full release.

Maestro
Created by Double Jack and Wild Sheep Studio, Maestro orchestrated a hit last year on Quest with its bold and innovative hand tracking gameplay. A distinctive rhythm game that focuses on classical music, we would've liked some further variety in the base game but found an exciting title filled with style. Since launch, it's received four major paid DLC packs with additional tracks, too.
The five song 'Doom Bound' pack included music from both Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings, while the 'Secret Sorcery' pack included a musical score from Disney's Fantasia. Most recent was 'All Aboard!' with two Pirates of the Caribbean songs, while “La Crème de la Crème” added five free classical songs. Hopefully we'll see more on the way soon.

Marvel's Deadpool VR
Meta's big first-party title for 2025, Twisted Pixel Games returned to bring us a new VR superhero game with Marvel's Deadpool VR. Playing as the infamous fourth-wall-breaking Merc with a Mouth, Deadpool finds himself kidnapped by an intergalactic producer called Mojo. Soon enough, we're forced into a carnage-filled reality TV show as we go on a campaign to hunt down various Marvel villains.
We believed this action romp "absolutely nails the look, feel, and humor of the titular character’s comic-book world" in our review, giving further praise for its comic book-inspired visuals and voice acting. Though we had a few gripes with its combat and performance, the high points in Marvel's Deadpool VR ultimately deliver a perfectly enjoyable adventure in shorter bursts that's worth your time.

Pistol Whip
Continual updates and new content have cemented Pistol Whip as one of the best, most stylish arcade rhythm VR games around. Its sarpshooting, sharp-sounding, beat-based gameplay proves even more hypnotic than Beat Saber, and in our 2023 review update, we proclaimed Pistol Whip is better than ever. In this neon-lit shooter, you stream down corridors, blasting bad guys to grizzly tunes, avoiding incoming fire, and trying to rack up the best scores by firing on the beat.
Whereas Beat Saber wants to make you a dancing Jedi master, Pistol Whip aims to teach you John Wick-esque gun-fu with style, elegantly fusing the rhythmic and cinematic elements together into a pulsating, vibrant monster of its own. Since its launch, Cloudhead Games has continually supported Pistol Whip with more content, new features, and extra tracks, making it one of the most entertaining and comprehensive arcade titles available on Quest.

Puzzling Places
Puzzling Places has been one of our favorite indie experiences available on Quest for a while now, but it plays better than ever on Quest 3. The game uses photogrammetry data to present you with 3D puzzles based on real places. Split into pieces, you can group sections of the puzzle and reference tiles around your environment as you piece the 3D model back together, often accompanied by thematic ambient recordings and sound effects.
On Quest 3, you're able to play Puzzling Places in mixed reality, which brings all the game's elements into your real environment. Not only does it make for a natural and comfortable extension of the experience, but it's just an obvious and solid evolution of an already fantastic concept. Realities.io continues releasing monthly packs and it continues feeling fresh thanks to regular updates.

Red Matter 2
When it released on Quest 2, Red Matter 2 was one of the most impressive visual showcases available on the headset. Thanks to the developers at Vertical Robot, it now looks even better. The Quest 3 update brings “console-quality” enhancements to the sci-fi adventure with increased rendering resolution, 4K textures, dynamic shadows, and much more. It's a stunning achievement for what was already one of the most visually impressive standalone VR releases.
The gameplay itself is fairly slow- paced, focused on environmental puzzles and occasional combat. It doesn't always land, though. Some puzzles begin to frustrate, especially toward the end, but the beautiful sci-fi vistas and detailed environments often smooth over frustrations caused by occasional gameplay hiccups. It's a great follow-up to Red Matter that's worth looking into.

Resident Evil 4 VR
We had doubts that bringing a classic flatscreen title like Resident Evil 4 to VR would work. However, it not only survived the transition, but ended up becoming one of the best games available on the Quest platform. This is the full campaign ported into immersive first-person VR with motion control support, which was later followed up with 'The Mercenaries' mode.
There are some elements, like the use of virtual cutscenes, that are less than ideal, but the overall gameplay experience more than makes up for it. For anyone with a PlayStation VR2 headset, we also recommend taking a look at Resident Evil 4 Remake's VR Mode. Even still, fighting off hordes of enemies as Leon Kennedy is a thrilling experience on Quest, and it's a wonderful way to revisit a classic.

Skydance's Behemoth
After its work on The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners, Skydance Games followed this up with an original action RPG, Skydance's Behemoth. Inspired by Shadow of the Colossus, this giant killing adventure sees you exploring the Forsaken Lands. Behemoth is ultimately at its best when facing the terrifying foes, and this delivers some truly awe-inspiring moments.
While we won't deny that Skydance's Behemoth had a rough start - we noted a few issues in our review - things have begun turning around following a slew of post-launch updates. Alongside extensive bug fixes across the first two patches and combat adjustments, it's also added New Game+, plus a boss rush mode and Arena Mode revamp.
UploadVRHenry Stockdale
Superhot VR
Superhot VR is one of the oldest games on this list. However, it's still one of the best examples of how VR can enable entirely new gaming experiences. Originally adapted from a flatscreen game, time only moves when you do in this cinematic shooter. Stay still and everything around you will remain frozen too. The second you move your body, everything jolts back to life.
It features an accessible design and a slickness that's rare to find in VR. From last-minute gun grabs to well-placed knife throws, there's so much satisfaction in working through Superhot's levels. Further updates like an experimental 120FPS mode later followed, too. Even in 2025, Superhot VR remains an essential introductory experience worth trying.

The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners
There is no denying that The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners is one of the best campaigns available on the Quest system – it's been that way since it first released on Quest a few years back. With the Quest 3 update now available - an upgrade that hasn't yet happened for the sequel, Chapter 2: Retribution - it's never looked better on standalone VR.
After a much-anticipated wait, the Quest 3 update adds dynamic shadows, expanded draw distance, greater environmental detail, additional zombies in open areas, and more. Even before this update, Saints & Sinners set the bar for VR zombie games with fantastic physics-based combat and a meaty campaign set across the remains of New Orleans.

UNDERDOGS
One Hamsa's VR mech brawler roguelike made a big impact last year, earning our Best PC VR Game of 2024 award. UNDERDOGS is a physics-based brawler that uses arm-based locomotion and a comic book-style presentation. In our review, we found this 22nd century underground roguelike fighter quickly set a new benchmark for VR arena combat.
Between its stylish visuals, grimy soundscape and unique character, UNDERDOGS feels fresh and exciting. Numerous post-launch updates have taken this further, such as 'Sandboxxer' with its level editor while the more recent 'Rampage' mode added an endless endurance mode. More updates are planned still, and a multiplayer mode is also on the way.

Walkabout Mini Golf
Mini golf is actually something that could and should work quite well in VR. Walkabout Mini Golf is all the proof you need; it's an accurate representation of the game that goes beyond what's possible in real life while also remaining authentic throughout.
This ticks all the boxes. Plenty of courses, extensive multiplayer support, different themes for each level and, above all, pinpoint physics that are arguably better than the real thing because there are none of the small snags you'd find on the surface of physical courses. Plus, the game receives ongoing support from developers Mighty Coconut, with regular free and paid DLC courses added over time.

Nvidia has announced the next wave of titles receiving DLSS updates. Games like Ashes of Creation, Splitgate and AION 2 and more are due to support Nvidia's upscaling technology, alongside other RTX features.
ARK: Survival Ascended – Lost Colony, the first major canonical expansion for the remastered survival game, now launches with DLSS 4 and NVIDIA Reflex, giving players smoother performance as they confront the demons of Arat Prime. Ashes of Creation, Intrepid Studios’ ambitious massively multiplayer game, entered Early Access last week with day-one support for DLSS 4 and Reflex.
SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded, a fast-paced arena shooter blending classic mechanics with portal-based combat, also integrates DLSS 4 to maximise frame rates. SEGA’s Yakuza Kiwami 2 has been updated with DLSS Super Resolution and Frame Generation, enhancing image quality and doubling performance for PC players.
AION2 will add DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation in a December 24th update, building on its existing support for DLSS Super Resolution and Reflex. Dying Light: The Beast, a survival horror set in Castor Woods, now features ray-traced lighting, reflections, and shadows alongside DLSS 4 and Reflex. Finally, Lost Ark has expanded its Korean client with DLSS Super Resolution and DLAA, giving players the choice between higher frame rates or improved image quality.
At The Game Awards, trailers for Phantom Blade Zero, Resident Evil Requiem, and PRAGMATA confirmed that RTX technologies will continue to feature prominently in upcoming releases. NVIDIA has also issued a new Game Ready Driver, so if you have a GeForce graphics card, be sure to update to the latest driver for optimisations for all of the games noted here, as well as bug fixes and other improvements.

In recent weeks, the prices of memory kits have surged to record heights, effectively ruining any plans consumers may have had for upgrading their machines in the near future. One of the most popular memory makers, G.Skill, has now offered a statement, acknowledging recent price hikes.
Here is G.Skill's statement in full:
“DRAM prices are experiencing significant industry-wide volatility, due to severe global supply constraints and shortages, driven by unprecedented high demand from the AI industry. As a result, G.SKILL procurement and sourcing costs have substantially increased. G.SKILL pricing reflect industry-wide component cost increases from IC suppliers and is subject to change without notice based on market conditions. Purchasers should be mindful of the pricing before purchasing.”
The warning confirms reports that AI companies are behind the shortage, as they are buying up the vast majority of supply on the market. Recently, Micron, one of the biggest memory suppliers in the world, killed off its consumer-facing brand, Crucial, in order to focus all of its efforts on serving enterprise customers. Recent reports indicate that SK Hynix, another one of the world's leading memory suppliers, is expecting shortages to last until at least 2028.
This is likely to have a major impact on the PC market in the coming year, impacting desktops, laptops, and other memory-equipped devices like smartphones and yes, graphics cards too.
KitGuru Says: PC enthusiasts have been through this before during the crypto-mining boom, which made sensibly-priced graphics cards impossible to come by for a long time. Now, rather than crypto-farms, we are contending with massive enterprises all looking to build the most powerful AI systems possible.

For months, Sony has been pushing ahead with its lawsuit against Tencent, claiming the company's game, Light of Motiram, infringes on its Horizon Zero Dawn IP. Now, the lawsuit has been settled, avoiding the need for a trial, and Light of Motiram has been removed from stores.
As spotted by The Game Post, new court documents reveal that Tencent and Sony have reached a settlement, the terms of which are confidential. However, we can clearly see that the game has disappeared from platforms like the Epic Games Store, indicating that delisting the game was indeed part of the agreement.
As the dispute has been settled, the lawsuit will now be dismissed. Crucially, it will be dismissed with prejudice, meaning it can't be re-filed in court again at a later date, putting the issue to rest for good.
Light of Motiram was intended to be a large-scale survival-crafting game with mechanical beasts and cooperative play. However, much of its world, characters and assets looked like they would have belonged right at home in the Horizon Zero Dawn or Forbidden West games. One of the core reasons Sony wanted the game taken down was the fact that it has its own multiplayer titles on the way set in the Horizon universe, including a mobile and PC MMO from NCSoft. It has also been reported that Guerrilla Games' next major release will be a multiplayer spin-off for PlayStation.
KitGuru Says: Do you think Sony was in the right here, or did you think Light of Motiram looked different enough from Horizon to now raise alarm bells?

AMD has updated its product lineup with a new entry-level SKU based on the RDNA 4 architecture. Dubbed the Radeon RX 9060 XT Low-Power, this new variant aims to deliver the same core specifications as the standard model while operating within a tighter thermal envelope.
The card was first found on AMD's China regional website (via ITHome) before appearing on the global domain. According to the official specifications, the primary differentiator for this “LP” model is a reduction in total board power. While the standard Radeon RX 9060 XT is rated at 160W, this new variant has been tuned down to 140W. Consequently, the recommended PSU requirement has dropped to a modest 450W, making it an attractive drop-in upgrade for pre-built systems with limited headroom.

Despite the reduction in power consumption, the silicon configuration appears untouched. The card uses a die featuring 29.7 billion transistors and retains the full 32 CUs and 2,048 stream processors found in its fully fledged sibling. The architectural breakdown includes 32 ray tracing accelerators and 64 AI accelerators, alongside 128 texture units and 64 ROPs. This suggests that, rather than cutting physical cores, AMD has likely applied more conservative clock-speed curves to meet the lower-power target. The card is equipped with 32 MB of AMD Infinity Cache and up to 16 GB of GDDR6 memory across a 128-bit bus, operating at up to 20 Gbps.
It is currently unclear whether this low-power variant will see a widespread retail release or remain exclusive to system integrators. Unlike high-end SKUs that face export restrictions, there is no regulatory reason to limit an entry-level GPU, reinforcing the theory that this is simply a specialized bin aimed at optimizing performance-per-watt for specific thermal environments.
KitGuru says: Shaving 20W off the TDP doesn't sound like much, but in the world of SFF builds and OEM power supplies, it can be the difference between a stable system and a shutdown. It will be interesting to see if this “LP” badge results in a tangible performance penalty in gaming.

The Rogue Prince of Persia is a highly slick and satisfying 2D side-scrolling rogue-like metroidvania from Evil Empire – the current team working on the equally-as-excellent Dead Cells. Initially arriving in Early Access back in 2024, the game saw its full 1.0 release last August alongside a console launch for both Xbox and PlayStation – most recently landing on the Nintendo Switch just a few days ago. The Prince’s journey will continue however, with the team confirming that The Rogue Prince of Persia will be getting a suite of post-launch updates throughout 2026.
Making the announcement on their Steam page, the team at Evil Empire spoke properly for the first time since the game’s launch back in August, writing:
“It's been a while, but we're back and do we have an early Christmas gift for you! Well, we don't have it for you right now, but we can tell you about it at least! We'll be coming back next year with post-launch content as free updates for The Rogue Prince of Persia.”
Unfortunately, we did not get any further details regarding what these updates will entail. Considering the fact that they used the term ‘updates’ however, fans should expect more than just a single drop of new content.
In looking back at the game’s roadmap during its Early Access period, there are plenty of avenues in which the team can head in to expand the game. We could see new enemies; skills; medallions; skins and weapons among countless other additions.
Of course, we will have to wait until next year to learn more, but it is exciting nonetheless to see that The Rogue Prince of Persia still has more to offer.

Forza Motorsport was one of the big first-party titles announced prior to the launch of the then-next-gen Xbox Series X|S. Said to be ‘built from the ground up’ the track racer launched in a disappointing state – with the team spending much of their time trying to bring Motorsport up to snuff. Major lay-offs at studio Turn 10 earlier this year led many to fear that future support had been cancelled. Though denied at the time, Microsoft has now confirmed that Forza Motorsport is turning off its engine.
Publishing a blog post titled ‘2025 Forza Year in Review’, the team at Turn 10 Studios offered a recap of the updates, additions and announcements from across the Forza series over the past 12 months.
By far the most interest part of the post however comes near the end, where-in the team discuss the ill-fated Forza Motorsport, writing: “As our team shifts its focus toward delivering the best possible experience with Forza Horizon 6 in 2026, we do not plan to introduce new cars, tracks, features, or regular bug fixes for Forza Motorsport.”
They continue, “However, we will continue supporting the game by keeping online servers active, hosting special events and competitions, and reintroducing previously released Featured Tours and reward cars on a monthly basis, until all content is available for you to enjoy anytime.”
Like many of Xbox’s early 9th-gen game announcements, 2023’s Forza Motorsport was intended to be a long-lasting experience receiving updates for years to come. Unfortunately, with a less-then-stellar launch and a slow rollout of notable improvements – coupled with the lay-offs earlier this year – the writing was on the wall for Forza Motorsport.
KitGuru says: Are you surprised by the announcement? Did you have high hopes for Motorsport prior to launch? Will the series be laid to rest in favour of Horizon? Let us know down below.

The brutal reality of the live-service market has claimed another victim. Theorycraft Games, the studio founded by former ex-Riot Games developers, has announced that it will permanently close the servers for its debut title, Supervive, on February 25th, 2026. The decision comes less than half a year after the game officially left beta.
When Supervive was first unveiled in 2024, it carried significant expectations. The project was directed by industry veterans such as Joe Tung, a former executive VP at Riot Games, and promised to mix the strategic depth of a MOBA with the tension of a battle royale. However, despite a promising “open prototyping” phase and a 1.0 launch in July 2025, the game failed to maintain an audience.
In a FAQ released alongside the announcement, the development team explained that while they were proud of the mechanical systems they had built, the title could not hold player attention. Executive Producer Jenn Nam expanded on this, noting that while “a huge number” of users had downloaded and tried Supervive, the majority abandoned the game after only a short period. This left the studio with a low active user base. As seen on SteamDB, the concurrent player count has been peaking at 400, a figure that makes ongoing maintenance and server costs financially unviable.
Nam indicated that the studio will use this experience to change its development strategy moving forward. Future projects are expected to aim for a scope that falls “between independent and AAA,” suggesting a move away from the live-service model. The studio warned that it expects to “go dark” for an extended period while prototyping these new concepts.
For the remaining community, the end is now in sight. Supervive will remain playable until the servers go offline on February 25th, 2026. Theorycraft has disabled all real-money transactions effective immediately and is offering full refunds for any purchases made since September 16th. Although development has ceased, a final patch was deployed yesterday, introducing a new game mode, various bug fixes, and a final cosmetic bundle, which is being distributed to all players for free as a parting gift.
KitGuru says: The MOBA and Battle Royale markets are tough, and maintaining a live-service game with only a few hundred players is simply impossible. Hopefully, the team can learn from this experience and create a more sustainable project in the future.
