After rumours began to appear last week that ByteDance – the owner of social video platform TikTok – was going to acquire Pico Interactive, this week they’ve been proved correct. Outlet’s including CNBC have confirmed that ByteDance has decided to delve into the world of virtual reality (VR) by purchasing the Chinese hardware manufacturer.

Pico Interactive is one of the worlds largest makers of VR headsets, with its current lineup of products including the Neo 3 Pro and the Neo 3 Eye, both sold as consumer products in China but as enterprise-only devices across the rest of the world. Thus avoiding direct competition with Facebook’s Oculus Quest platform.

Details regarding how much ByteDance paid haven’t been officially revealed but rumours suggest it’s in the region of ¥5 billion (~$775 million). That makes it quite a sizable investment in the VR market although ByteDance has yet to confirm how it might leverage this investment in relation to its other products.

In a statement provided to CNBC ByteDance said that Pico’s: “comprehensive suite of software and hardware technologies, as well as the talent and deep expertise of the team, will support both our entry to the VR space and long-term investment in this emerging field.”

While Pico has avoided competing with Oculus, under ByteDance that might change as the company looks to diversify its current business model. Earlier this year the company acquired mobile developer Moonton for a reported $4 billion, best known for its multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) Mobile Legends.

Pico Interactive’s latest Neo 3 headsets are its flagship standalone devices, featuring Qualcomm’s Snapdragon XR2 processor, inside-out tracking, and 6DoF controllers, with the Neo 3 Eye also featuring built-in eye tracking. Both are currently available for pre-order with a launch expected in Q3 2021.

As further details regarding ByteDance’s future plans for Pico arise, VRFocus will let you know.

Immensely popular rhythm action title Beat Saber has had plenty of high-profile collaborations with artists, with many of them moving away from the title’s EDM roots. After a few social teases last week, developer Beat Games has revealed the latest music pack is far more on-point, with new high energy tracks from Skrillex.

Beat Saber fans now have eight tunes to play through, with the lineup featuring classics like Bangarang as well as newly released singles Don’t Go with Justin Bieber and Don Toliver and Butterflies with Starrah and Four Tet.

• Bangarang (feat. Sirah)
• First of the Year (Equinox)
• The Devil’s Den
• Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites
• Ragga Bomb (feat. Ragga Twins)
• Rock ‘n’ Roll (Will Take You to the Mountain)
• Don’t Go (feat. Justin Bieber)
• Butterflies (feat. Starrah & Four Tet )

The Skrillex Music Pack is available today across all supported platforms; Oculus Quest and Rift, SteamVR (HTC Vive, Valve Index, Windows Mixed Reality) and PlayStation VR. As with previous music packs you can either buy it as a bundle for $10.99 USD or purchase the songs individually for $1.99.

“We’ve been fans of Beat Saber for years and have always wanted to collaborate on a Skrillex pack for the game,” says Atlantic Records VP for Film, TV, and Video Games Joe Khoury in a statement. “To see it come to life is amazing. Their team did a phenomenal job creating environments that complement these incredible records—we’re super excited for people to experience it all.”

In addition to the songs, there’s a new custom environment that resembles a music light show plus they all feature single and multiplayer support.

VRFocus will continue its coverage of Beat Saber, reporting back with the latest music packs and updates.

The Skrillex Music Pack for Beat Saber is available now, featuring eight tracks including a newly released song featuring Justin Bieber.

The eight tracks include Bangarang, one of Skrillex’s most well-known songs, and a new track called Don’t Go, featuring pop superstar Justin Bieber and Don Toliver, which only released just over a week ago. Here’s the full tracklist:

– Bangarang (feat. Sirah)

– First of the Year (Equinox)

– The Devil’s Den

– Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites

– Ragga Bomb (feat. Ragga Twins)

– Rock ‘n’ Roll (Will Take You to the Mountain)

– Don’t Go (feat. Justin Bieber)

– Butterflies

These tracks span across Skrillex’s career, with some quite recent entries and some that date back to 10 years ago. I’ve been able to try the pack out early, and while I have some minor qualms, overall it seems like a solid addition to the Beat Saber catalog. While Skrillex obviously shares a lot of musical touchstones with the EDM songs that dominate Beat Saber’s OST tracks, it still has its own flair and enough variety within the pack to feel different. If nothing else, it’s good that Facebook and Beat Games are branching out and trying to incorporate lots of varied artists and genres in the music packs they release.

The environment and new color scheme are serviceable if a little less exciting than some of the more recent music pack’s environments such as the Interscope Mixtape, and eight tracks feel like a comfortable size for a single artist pack. While I’d like to see larger packs featuring many different artists, like the Interscope release, the eight tracks here feel like enough to provide some variety and give you something to explore one by one without overwhelming you, unlike other packs that personally felt like they only have you a taste of its full potential (looking at you, Panic! at the Disco pack).

Highlights in this pack include Butterflies, which has an exhilarating, bouncy arrangement of notes in the bridge on Expert difficult, along with Bangarang, which delivers a challenging and hectic beat map on Expert that feels appropriate for the song.

That being said, the Skrillex pack does suffer from an ongoing problem with new Beat Saber releases — the difficulty levels are increasingly conflated and confused, not only between music packs but between songs in the Skrillex pack itself. To get a feel for the level of a pack, I generally try each level on Expert and see how it plays, and then sometimes run through on Hard to compare the jump between tiers.  With this pack, I felt some tracks on Expert were definitely easier than others, but perhaps came a bit closer to consistency than other worse offenders like the Green Day pack. Moving between difficulties felt a bit jarring in places, with Bangarang on Expert feeling quite challenging and physically demanding compared to Hard, which felt less exciting and like a big downwards jump in terms of difficultly.

The wider problem is that there is increasingly greater variance in what constitutes Expert difficulty across most releases. While I used to feel like a solid and decent Expert player, it now feels difficult to judge just how hard an Expert track will be. Some of this is probably attributable to the releases expanding out to different genres besides EDM in recent years, but it still feels frustrating to go into a level unsure if I’ve picked the right difficulty or not. While those playing consistently well at Expert+ or Expert level may not notice or care, my guess is that the inconsistency might be more frustrating to those who play at a lower level to improve or those who are trying to find the difficulty level that they feel most comfortable at.

While these concerns are valid, they also might not be as pronounced for other players. Even so, it’s less of a fault of the pack itself and more the direction of the game as a whole. Those minor qualms aside, the Skrillex DLC feels like a welcome addition to the Beat Saber music roster. Despite not being the biggest fan of the music, I still really enjoyed playing each new track and found some interesting beat mappings and exciting segments that were well thought out and exhilarating to get right.

Given the genre, this pack will probably feel a bit familiar to long-time Beat Saber players. For those who are unfamiliar with Skrillex but enjoy the Beat Saber OST selection, this pack is probably the one that feels closest to home to those OG tracks. If you’re a fan of no-frills, EDM, high octane Beat Saber, then the Skrillex pack should do the trick.

The Beat Saber Skrillex music pack is available now for $10.99 or $1.99 per track.

Beat Saber’s latest DLC is the Skrillex Music Pack, and it’s launching today.

Beat Games just revealed the pack after a week of teases. As with other DLC it’s coming to all platforms. The pack consists of eight tracks including some of the artist’s biggest hits like Bangarang as well as the newly-released track, Don’t Go, which features Justin Bieber. Yep, that’s right, the Bieb is now officially in Beat Saber. Check out the trailer below.

Beat Saber Skrillex Pack Launches

The DLC costs $10.99 for it all or $1.99 per track. This will no doubt be a popular pack for a lot of Beat Saber fans given that the artist’s music is in line with a lot of the tracks Beat Saber first included years ago.

Skrillex joins the likes of Green Day, Linkin Park and Panic! At The Disco as artists that have official music packs in the smash-hit VR game. Beat Games also offers a mix of artists in certain packs, like the recent Interscope Pack which featured music from the titular label.

There’s still no word on possible multiplayer support for PSVR players, which is now close to a year late after Quest and PC got the update in late 2020.

Summer is coming to a close and so is the time frame for all those big virtual reality (VR) releases. Carbon Studio’s Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Tempestfall was due to arrive soon but just like Lone Echo II and After the Fall, has now been pushed back towards the end of the year.

The delay is due to the closed beta that was held during June/July, where players selected got to see the first stages of the videogame. “The group of players who tried out Tempestfall during the Closed Beta gave us a lot of very cool ideas and useful suggestions. We are aware that the VR gaming landscape is constantly evolving and improving, which is why we want to take a bit of extra time to ensure Tempestfall meets the expectations of both casual and hardcore VR gamers,” said Carbon Studio’s Co-Founder Aleksander Caban in a statement.

Due to the feedback from players Carbon Studio will be enhancing various aspects of the gameplay in Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Tempestfall. This includes the physical blocking system for weapons, being improved to suit both stationary and mobile combat styles.

The developer has also confirmed that: “players can also expect a deeper character progression system, with additional rewards for exploration.” So hopefully Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Tempestfall should be worth that extra wait. Additionally, if you didn’t get a chance to participate in the first closed beta Carbon Studio will be holding a second in September. Signups are open now until 14th September over on Discord, the beta will last for two weeks.

Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Tempestfall is gearing up to be an epic adventure in the Warhammer universe, set during the Age of Sigmar if you didn’t realise. You take on the role of the mighty Lord-Arcanum, tasked with defeating the Nighthaunt forces which are rising up all across the mortal realms. Leading a retinue of Stormcast Eternals, you wield devastating melee weapons, abilities and powerful magic.

Now slated for release on PC VR headsets and Oculus Quest in Q4 2021, for further Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Tempestfall updates keep reading VRFocus.

via Mint VR

Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Tempestfall has been delayed. But don’t worry, it’s still expected to release this year.

Developer Carbon Studio today confirmed that the game will miss its initial summer 2021 release window and now arrive in Q4 of this year. The decision was apparently made based on feedback from a closed beta testing round for the game, which gave the studio several elements to improve on.

Namely, the game will feature an improved blocking system. Carbon provided the below GIF to show the system in action. Like Until You Fall, the game telegraphs where you need to block in its first move, though it seems subsequent attacks must be read for direction.

Carbon will also be improving the character progression feature and adding more rewards for players that explore the game’s environments. The team will run a second closed beta for the experience towards the end of September. You can find out how to get involved over on the developer’s Discord channel.

Tempestfall isn’t to be confused with last year’s Warhammer 40,000: Battle Sister. The latter game was set in the series’ most familiar universe, but Tempestfall is instead concerned with the more supernatural elements of the Age of Sigmar universe. You play as Lord-Arcanum, a magic-wielding warrior and part of a taskforce known as the Stormcast Eternals. You’ll have to battle the ghostly Nighthaunt in the realm of Shyish using first-person combat and a gesture-based weapons system. Check out the gameplay reveal in the trailer below.

As far as we know, Tempestfall is still due to launch on both PC VR and Oculus Quest at the same time. We’ll let you know if that changes.

We might be seeing another VR game from the Devolver Digital team in the near future.

Clara Sia of the publisher’s Influencer Strategy team recently put out a tweet looking for games testers with VR headsets. The project in question wasn’t disclosed and it sounds like it’s unannounced given that Sia went on to say anyone talking about it will be punted “into the sun”. So there’s that.

Devolver has published a few VR games in the past few years. It partnered with Free Lives to release enduring VR hit, Gorn, on basically every platform. We’d love to see more of Gorn, though Free Lives is currently working on non-VR city builder, Terra Nil.

Elsewhere, Serious Sam developer Croteam released a VR spin-off of the shooter series years back and has even ported past Sam games and its popular puzzle title, The Talos Principle to headsets too. Last year the team released Serious Sam 4 for PC, so there’s a chance it could be a VR version of that.

Whatever the project turns out as, it’s good to see publishers releasing more VR content. What do you think Devolver could be working on? Let us know in the comments below!

Three years ago now we reported that cutesy cat simulator, Neko Atsume, was getting a PSVR version. From today, you can finally play that game in the US.

Neko Atsume VR just launched out of nowhere on the North American PlayStation Store. The game first came to the Japanese store way back in 2018 and we’d pretty much given up hope of a launch in other markets. There’s no word on a possible European release, but we’ll keep our fingers crossed.

Check out some gameplay in this oh-so-adorable footage from a few years ago.

In the game, you collect cats by laying down food and then play with them using a range of toys. There are 20 different types of cats to log, and you’ll make notes in your Catbook when you meet them. Toys include balls the friendly felines will roll around with and flowers you hold in your hand and get the critters to chase. Perhaps not VR’s deepest game, then, but who can really complain when it’s this cute?

Neko Atsume VR costs $16.99. Are you going to be picking the game up? Let us know in the comments below!

A couple of years ago when energetic, fitness-oriented rhythm action videogames were starting to make their mark in virtual reality (VR) developer Fit Reality showcased Viro Move, an encouraging title mixing several gameplay elements. The demo is still live on Steam but the videogame just seemed to vanish. Until today that is, with the studio confirming a PC VR launch for October with an Oculus Quest version also in the works.

Designed as a fitness tool to help improve stamina, agility, and cardiovascular fitness, Viro Move allows you to mix up the gameplay style by choosing between several mechanics including swords, fists and guns. So that means slicing up orbs, punching objects and shooting targets all in time to the music, as well as dodging out the way of incoming obstacles.

All of these styles can be played individually, essentially giving you three games in one. Or there’s the Weapons Master mode which combines all of these into one session. So every few minutes it’ll switch up, keeping you on your toes rather than falling into a particular gameplay rhythm. With so many rhythm action titles on the market, this feature could very well make Viro Move stand out.

As Viro Move wants to help you get/stay fit it’ll also calculate metrics including calories spent to help you keep an eye on your progress alongside historical data to manage those fitness goals. Fit Reality says that Viro Move has been approved: “by more than 1000 FIBO and IHRSA sports professionals.”

To keep you motivated you’ll be able to earn and unlock skins as you progress. Regular challenges and tournaments will also take place, enabling that competitive element with global leaderboards to climb.

Viro Move is scheduled to launch for Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, Valve Index and Windows Mixed Reality headsets on 20th October 2021. The Oculus Quest edition is slated to arrive before year-end. For further updates on the fitness title, keep reading VRFocus.

ROTU Entertainment’s Rhythm of the Universe: IONIA has looked like a promising combination of music and puzzle exploration ever since its first unveiling a couple of years ago. Now the studio has confirmed the multiplatform virtual reality (VR) title will be making its way to headsets at the end of September.

With its mixture of VR adventure and musical gameplay, Rhythm of the Universe: IONIA‘s narrative revolves around a message of environmental conservation. On a fantastical planet filled with a variety of creatures and plants, the goal is to save the Harpa, an endangered mythical being, by exploring the world solving puzzles rooted in music theory.

Designed for immersive gameplay, you’ll not only be climbing trees and ziplining across ravines but also playing musical instruments, drumming beats and tones on the flora and fauna. Plus, in keeping with its wildlife message, five percent of proceeds from Rhythm of the Universe: IONIA will go to environmental non-profit Wildlife Warriors Worldwide.

“We had to make sure we didn’t just have a conservationist message without putting our money where our mouths are,” said Jason Parks, ROTU CEO in a statement. “When you’re virtually ziplining and trying to find your rhythm, just know that you’re supporting a great organization in Wildlife Warriors.”

“We are proud to be working with the team at ROTU to engage the virtual reality explorers of IONIA in the conservation of this planet’s precious wildlife and wild places. Thank you for supporting Wildlife Warriors Worldwide in the protection of injured, threatened, and endangered wildlife everywhere,” said wildlife conservationist and photographer Robert Irwin.

Rhythm of the Universe: IONIA is set for release on Oculus Quest and Rift, PlayStation VR and PC VR (HTC Vive, Valve Index and Windows Mixed Reality) from 23rd September 2021. VRFocus will continue its coverage of ROTU Entertainment, reporting back with further updates.

Looking for a summary of the best VR FPS and shooter games available on Oculus Quest? We’ve got you covered — here’s our top 10.

The Oculus Quest library is only growing larger and stronger by the day with a few options available in most genres. For first-person shooter fans, we’ve put together this eclectic list of shooters available on Quest. Some of these games stay quite faithful to the traditional conventions of the genre, while others put a twist on the gameplay in fresh and exciting ways that feel particularly potent in VR.

Here’s our list of the 10 best FPS games available now on the Oculus Quest. You’ll be able to pick all these titles up from the Oculus Quest store.

Honorable Mention: Dr Beef’s Classic Ports

10. Phantom: Covert Ops

Phantom is one of a few games on this list that gets in on a technicality. It’s more of a stealth game than it is a shooter but, even with that considered, its FPS mechanics are still more developed that a lot of other entries in the genre. Set over the course of a single night, you infiltrate a hostile facility by kayak and use silenced weapons to sneak through trenches. Get caught and you can rely on a trusty machine gun to get you out of trouble, too. Phantom is a polished experience any shooter fan should consider.

9. Robo Recall Unplugged

This was a somewhat unexpected arrival on Quest — the high graphical fidelity of the original game meant that a Quest version seemed unlikely. However, while the visuals aren’t on par with the PC original by any means, the entire core experience remains in tact and provides Quest players with an expansive wave shooter on a grand scale. It’s time to mow down some robots!

8. Larcenauts

After what many described as a rough launch, Larcenauts fought its way back with immediate updates to fix the Overwatch-inspired shooter’s biggest flaws. Now, with manual reloading and sprint options included, it’s much easier to dial in on the fantastic hero shooter gameplay, which has been finely balanced to make sure each character plays an important role. Larcenauts takes a bit to really learn but, once you do, you’ll find one of VR’s deepest and most rewarding shooters.

7. Population: One

With the success of Fortnite and the battle royale genre, something similar coming to VR was inevitable. Late last year, Population: One filled that gap in the market.

If you’re looking for a VR battle royale to play with friends, then look no further. This three-man squad-only shooter follows the same basic premise as Fortnite complete with a basic wall-building system, but the addition of climbing and a deployable wingsuit for gliding sets it apart by letting you scale any building or structure.

The game has received plenty of post-launch support and content updates, so if you’re looking for a multiplayer VR FPS to sink your teeth into long-term, Population: One is probably your best bet.

6. Contractors

What this military-themed shooter lacks in visuals on Quest, it makes up for in performance, content, and gameplay.

Similar in pace to a Call of Duty game, Contractors features a wide selection of loadout options and different guns, all with active reloading. There’s tremendous freedom of movement as well, if your stomach can handle it, like being able to jump, sprint, and slide around maps. You can play solo missions, but the real focus is multiplayer, where you’ll be able to choose between co-op objectives and online competitive PvP matches.

5. Pistol Whip

Pistol Whip is not a shooter in the traditional sense — you’re wielding a gun, but you use it in a way that combines shooters with rhythm games, mowing down enemies to the beat of the music. The more in time you are with the track, the higher your score. While it’s a well-worn comparison at this point, the game lands somewhere between a Beat Saber and Superhot hybrid, and definitely not in a bad way.

The game launched with 10 original tracks, but has since added a bunch more in free post-launch updates, such as the Mad Max-inspired ‘Full Throttle’ level, which you can see in the footage embedded above. If you’re looking for a shooter-rhythm game hybrid, then give Pistol Whip a shot.

4. Sniper Elite VR

Rebellion’s VR spin-off of its shooter series took a while to materialize, but the wait was well worth it. VR breathes new life into an aging formula with fantastic weapon handling that asks players to manually reload rifles and large levels that have you mixing up stealth with full-on firefights. Though Sniper Elite VR might be a fairly routine shooter by flatscreen standards, its full campaign makes it a refreshingly meaty Quest offering, and one of the best VR shooters.

3. Onward

If you’re looking for a competitive multiplayer shooter on Oculus Quest, then Onward has to be your pick. In his review, David dubbed Onward as the definitive military sim FPS — you play in 5v5 battles against other players online, with an array of weapons and three game modes to choose from. While it’s missing the visual fidelity and some of the custom features from the PC VR version of the game (many of which have been promised to arrive in a future update), it is still easily one of the best multiplayer VR games on the Quest. As David put it, “this should be in every Quest user’s library that enjoys shooters — hands down.”

2. The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners

As a survival game, shooting is only one part of the overall Saints & Sinners experience (and the game’s real joy is in its melee weapons). But Skydance Interactive’s physics-driven approach makes for some of the most interesting weapon handling you’ll find on Oculus Quest, with pistols that need to be properly steadied and two-handed weapons that can be a genuine handful if you don’t get the right process down. This makes raids on enemy camps and back-against-the-wall zombie shootouts unlike anything else you’ll find on the platform.

1. Superhot

Superhot has found itself near the top of so many of our lists, but for good reason — the game is an innovative take on the FPS genre. While it’s fun on any VR platform, the Quest  is undoubtledly the best headset to play the game on. The wireless freedom truly unlocks Superhot’s full potential — you can spin, bend and crouch your way out of sticky situations that culminate to make one of the most inventive and unique shooters in VR history.

Another VR travel app is on its way to Oculus Quest and PC VR headsets. This time it’s Brink Traveler.

Listed now on both the Quest Store and SteamVR, Brink will launch on September 9. The app features 12 locations with a total of 18 spots to explore, each realized in full scale. Check out the trailer for the experience below.

The app’s current locations include Arches National Park, Death Valley National Park, Antelope Canyon and Haifoss Iceland among others. As you explore you can check out notes to learn more about your environment. You can also take photos that you can share with friends. Brink itself says that it will also be adding new locations over time.

Brink isn’t the only VR travel app to release lately. Blueplanet brought more locations to VR with volumetric capture a little earlier in the year. Given that the entire world has been in various stages of lockdown over the past 18 or so months, there’s never been a better time to check out just what VR travel can do.

VR modder praydog is working on mods for Capcom’s recent remakes of Resident Evil 2 and 3.

A first (and very early) look at the mod was posted online today. It shows footage from inside Raccoon City Police Department before moving out into the city in a sequence seen in Resident Evil 3.

Take a look below but, again, the mod is very early on so you’ll have to excuse the rubbery arms and side-by-side recording.

Even with those issues considered, though, this seems like impressive work. Both Resident Evil 2 and 3 are played in third-person, so praydog has not only had to get them running in first-person but also implement motion controls for the guns.

These are remakes of the original PlayStation games that released for PC, PS4 and Xbox One a few years back. Resident Evil 2 in particular was incredibly well-received, and we shudder at the mere thought of meeting either the massive Tyrant or the dreaded Nemesis in VR. In fact we already saw the former inside headsets in a Japan-exclusive arcade experience in 2019.

No word on when the mods might release just yet but we’ll let you know as soon as we heard word.

Resident Evil 7 does of course already support PSVR but the game was in first-person. Earlier this year Capcaom also released the first-person Resident Evil 8 but there was no VR support to speak of. We’re hoping that support might be introduced for Sony’s PS5 VR headset, which is expected to launch next year. Meanwhile, Facebook is developing an official version of Resident Evil 4 for the Oculus Quest 2, which is expected to launch later this year.

That makes the first Resident Evil one of the few entries in the mainline series not to get some sort of VR support. Who’s going to change that?

An FCC listing for Facebook’s Aria Glasses, which are being used internally for AR research, provides new details via a user manual and various other testing and compliance documents.

The Aria Glasses were first announced at Facebook Connect last year. They are not a consumer product or a prototype for AR glasses, but are instead designed to be worn by Facebook employees as a research tool that will “help us collect data to uncover the underlying technical and ethical questions and start to look at answers to those,” as Facebook representatives explained when the project was announced. Aria Glasses do not feature a display and are intended to capture research data while the wearer goes about their day.

Project Aria “will capture the wearer’s video and audio, as well as their eye tracking and location information. The glasses’ on-device computing power will then be used to encrypt and store information that, when uploaded to separate, designated back-end storage space, will help our researchers figure out how AR can work in the real world,” Facebook explained. “Our future AR devices must be more perceptive in order to be more genuinely useful to us. In order for devices to understand where they are in relation to people and other objects, and how to make sense of any given situation, they need a virtual 3D map of the things around you. But it’s far too power-intensive to scan and reconstruct a space in real time from scratch, so AR glasses will need to tap into an existing 3D map we call LiveMaps. LiveMaps uses computer vision to construct a virtual representation of the parts of the world that are relevant to you. With these 3D maps, our future devices will be able to efficiently see, analyze, and understand the world around them and better serve those who use them. These devices will keep track of changes, like new street names, and update them in real-time. The Project Aria device is testing out how this can work in practice.”

Facebook also announced a partnership with Luxottica and Ray-Ban to produce “smart glasses”, which are unrelated to Aria and due for release later this year.

Now, we have a bit more information and our best look yet at Facebook’s Aria Glasses by way of documents within a FCC listing that was made public recently, as reported by Protocol’s Janko Roettgers.

The documents include a user manual, where the glasses are referred to as “Gemini EVT” and described as “prototype equipment … intended for limited distribution only for  purposes of testing and data collection.”

The manual also reveals that the glasses support prescription lenses, and that they do not fold down like a normal pair of glasses — the temples remain fixed at right angles from the main frame.

The user manual also includes photos labeling individual parts and external buttons. As you can see in the image embedded above, the glasses offer a mute switch, power button, proximity sensor and status LED.

When the mute switch is set to mute/privacy mode, red is visible on the LED indicator. The right hand side also features a capture button pictured below, but the document (at least at the time it was written) says it is only used to power on the device.

The glasses also come with a microfiber cloth, a power supply and a USB cord with a magnetic connector that attaches to the left temple of the glasses. In the manual, Facebook says this connector is “sensitive” and that users “may have to physically hold it together momentarily for the device to be enumerated and/or initiate charging.”

The glasses connect to an internal mobile companion app, called Ariane, and the footage collected from the cameras can be transferred and viewed on a computer as well.

While the Aria Glasses are not the consumer AR glasses many are expecting, they do give an insight into the research process Facebook is undertaking to move toward consumer AR. On the Project Aria site, Facebook is clear that the glasses are for research work only.

With Facebook Connect coming up in October, there’s a fair chance we might hear more about Project Aria and the resulting AR technology then. You can view the Aria FCC listing and all associated documents here.

In a video posted to Reddit earlier this week, developer Dominik Hackl showed footage of his AR app, Magic Keys, running on Oculus Quest using the experimental passthrough API.

The footage, embedded below, was posted to Reddit and shows Hackl playing a real life keyboard while using an AR overlay on the passthrough view to learn songs in real time.

The concept is similar to VRtuos, which we wrote about last year, and other similar VR piano apps available for Quest. The notes appear above the keys in sequential order, in a synthesia-like fashion, allowing you to learn a piece in real time without the need for sheet music or any existing knowledge.

Piano apps on Quest have had to use hand tracking and virtual piano calibration to line up the virtual keys with your real piano. While it worked pretty well, there was sometimes still a small feeling of disconnect between playing the real piano and seeing the virtual one. However, using AR to present the notes overlaid on a live view of a real piano has potential to be a game changer.

What’s especially notable about Magic Keys on Quest is that it’s an AR app, developed initially for tablets and then the HoloLens and Magic Leap One. Now that the Quest’s experimental passthrough API is available, it has been ported over to the Oculus Quest.

Magic Keys is not available publicly yet, but Hackl says that an APK will be available soon. However, it will have competition — existing Quest piano apps such as Grand Reality and VRtuos have indicated that experimental passthrough support on Quest may be in the works. In the case of the latter, a beta APK is already available to download on its Discord server.

A lot of games support cross-platform play now, but it's hard finding all of them in one spot. We did the digging to make a list of all cross-platform games.

via Mint VR

It’s safe to say that Oculus Quest came out of the gates swinging. That makes picking a list of the best Oculus Quest games and best Oculus Quest 2 games pretty tough.

Facebook’s standalone VR headsets, which seem to have singlehandedly reignited the entire VR industry, launched with over 50 apps in 2019. In the year that’s followed it’s cherry-picked a steady stream of other greatest hits to bring to an entirely new audience and, since the launch of Quest 2 in 2020, doubled down on new content too. The result is a platform that has a tightly curated list of fantastic VR experiences that are easy to discover.

Also keep in mind that, while our best PSVR, Rift and Steam VR games lists are all fairly consistent, we approach our Quest list with a bit of a different lens. We have to weigh up how much the wire-free gameplay improves the experience against how well a game has been ported and its technical performance. You’ll see a lot of different changes in this list, then.

But which are our favorites? (Don’t forget to check our list of the best games to sideload on Quest via SideQuest, and if you’re looking to join a friend in VR be sure to check out our list of best multiplayer games on Quest!)

What Are The Best Oculus Quest Games And Best Oculus Quest 2 Games?

We’ve gone deep into the Quest library to come up with our updated list of the 25 best Oculus Quest games and best Oculus Quest 2 games. Quest already spans a diverse number of genres, offering everything from accessible entry points to blockbuster titans.

If you’re looking to build out your library, you need to start here.

25. Carve Snowboarding – Read Our Review

Snowboarding, just like many other sports, is really hard to pull off in VR. With no way to track your feet on Quest, you lose a lot of the context needed to really feel like you’re actually hitting the slopes. While it isn’t perfect, Carve Snowboarding does a really good job of switching out your feet for your hand, with a control scheme that takes a while to master.

Once you do, though, Carve Snowboarding quickly becomes one of the best Oculus Quest games, with heart-stopping tricks and an incredibly satisfying sense of speed. It could do with a touch more content, but this is VR’s best extreme sports game yet.

24. Cosmodread – Read Our Review

Alright hands up, heroes – who is brave enough to tackle Cosmodread? Because we’ll warn you now, this one doesn’t pull its punches. The developer of Dreadhalls returns to expand upon the original procedurally generated horror game in an all-new spaceship setting. Can you get out alive?

Cosmodread is a deviously tight mix of shadowy corridors, creepy crawlies scuttering in the dark, an ominous creaking off in the distance. All of these tricks are powerfully potent in VR, but the game’s roguelite approach is a real winner too.

23. Red Matter – Read Our Review

Broadly speaking, many developers have done a pretty good job bringing their PC and console VR games to Quest. No one has pulled it off quite as well as Red Matter, though, which absolutely shines on the platform. In this intriguing adventure-mystery, you journey to an alien planet to investigate an abandoned enemy base in the midst of a Cold War-style sci-fi conflict.

But developer Vertical Robot puts immersion above all else, making for an experience you can truly lose yourself in. Red Matter isn’t just the best looking game on the platform, it’s also one of the very best Oculus Quest games and best Oculus Quest 2 games.

22. In Death: Unchained – Read Our Review

A lot of VR games are fun, but a little on the forgiving side. In Death: Unchained is definitely not guilty of that crime; this grueling roguelike action game is likely the toughest title on the platform and that’s very much one of its strengths.

In In Death, you fight your way through procedurally-generated levels with either a bow and arrow or crossbow, dodging incoming fire from enemy archers and attempting to put down monsters before they reach you. Gradual progression and the promise of a new run every time make this an addictive experience you won’t want to put down. Best train up your arrow arm for one of the best Oculus Quest games, then.

21. Five Nights At Freddy’s VR – Read Our Review

Ever wanted to give yourself a heart attack? Firstly, what’s wrong with you? Second, Five Nights At Freddy’s VR is the closest you’ll get to that experience in the comfort of your own home. Most VR horror games try to be at least a little cautious with their jump scares so that people can actually play them. FNAF has no such interest in any consideration.

Across several minigames that include content from past games and new experiences, you’ll try to survive against a haunting army of abandoned animatronics, trying to keep tabs on them as they stalk you and trying to fix things without being eaten (wait, do they eat you?). If you’re looking for the ultimate VR scarefest, you can’t go wrong with this house of horrors, making it one of the best Oculus Quest games and best Oculus Quest 2 games.

20. I Expect You To Die 2: The Spy And The Liar – Read Our Review

Why isn’t Schell’s classic VR puzzle game, I Expect You To Die, included in this list? Simple, because it just got an even better sequel. Yup, another six levels of death-defying brain teasers await in a game that makes a more concerted effort to deliver a memorable story.

There are tons of VR escape rooms out there, but I Expect You To Die 2 stands out thanks to its thoughtful approach to VR interactions and world-building that knows when to be consistent with our reality and when to cheat its rules. This sequel is one of the best Oculus Quest games and best Oculus Quest 2 games, but you should definitely check out the first game in the series too.

19. Star Wars: Vader Immortal Trilogy – Read Our Review

Vader Immortal isn’t a massive, multi-hour Star Wars epic with upgradable skills and deep combat. It is, by traditional gaming standards, a pretty slim package, lasting a little over 90 minutes. But look below the surface and you’ll find something much more interesting; an episodic series that wants to provide a completely immersive VR experience that anyone can enjoy.

There’s fun lightsaber combat to be had both in the story and the excellent Dojo mode, but Vader Immortal’s best moments come from basking in the presence of the Dark Lord himself and meeting other characters in VR. It’s an exercise in story-living and a pretty good one at that.

18. Larcenauts – Read Our Review

Though it suffered from some launch hiccups, Larcenauts bounced back to offer one of VR’s deepest multiplayer shooters. In this Overwatch-inspired take, you select from one of a range of incredibly different classes (or specialists) and enter into one of three game modes, including a standard team deathmatch and takes on control point and capture the flag types.

What makes Larcenauts sing is its variety, which helps you identify genuine strategies in play. If your team’s missing a heavy hitter in a firefight, you’ll know exactly who needs to enter the fray, whilst faster classes are essential when racing to secure points on a map. It’s this depth that makes Larcenauts one of the best Oculus Quest games and best Oculus Quest 2 games.

17. Walkabout Mini Golf

Unlike snowboarding, mini golf is actually something that could and should work quite well in VR. Walkabout Minigolf is all the proof you need; it’s an accurate representation of the game that goes beyond what’s possible in real life whilst 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 almost indistinguishable from the real thing. Hard to fault!

16. Sniper Elite VR – Read Our Review

Looking for a rock-solid shooter campaign that makes great use of VR controllers? Sniper Elite VR more than has you covered. A lengthy 5+ hour campaign awaits here that mixes many of the series staples: cohesive and enjoyable stealth, thrilling all-out fire fights and, of course, some of the best sniping you’ll find in games.

Holding your hands steady, squeezing the trigger and the pulling back the action for the next round feels incredible, and the game’s got a range of options to find a playstyle that works for you. Here’s hoping Rebellion has a sequel on the cards for the future, because Sniper Elite VR is comfortably one of the best Oculus Quest games and best Oculus Quest 2 games.

15. Until You Fall – Read Our Review

A stylish and effortlessly-cool VR rougelike that has you tackling runs of a randomized dungeon and starting fresh every time you die. A fast-moving progression system keeps the game rewarding and addictive, while the lively arcade action is easy to pick up and difficult to master. If you’re looking for a VR game you’ll revisit time and time again, look no further than Until You Fall. It’s one of the best Oculus Quest games and best Oculus Quest 2 games.

14. The Room VR: A Dark Matter – Read Our Review

Puzzle masters Fireproof Games knock it out of the park again with a typically excellent rendition of The Room series, this time for VR headsets. This short, sweet adventure is set in the British Institute of Archaeology, where you’ll solve challenging trials in search of a missing archaeologist.

What makes The Room VR work is its commitment to the platform it’s appearing on. This isn’t just a bunch of puzzles that would be just as well-served on a traditional screen; each and every one has been thoughtfully invented with VR at its core. That makes it easily one of the best Oculus Quest games and best Oculus Quest 2 games, especially if you’re into puzzles.

13. Population: One – Read Our Review

VR does Fortnite right in this superb battle royale shooter. Population: One takes place on a huge map in which teams of three battle it out to be the last ones standing.  Choose where to drop, scavenge for supplies and make sure to stay in safe zones as you fight to survive.

Not only is Population: One a rock-solid shooter, but it’s got some great VR mechanics too, like scaling up walls with your hands or holding your arms out to glide when you leap off the side of a building. It can be an intense experience that certainly won’t be for everyone but, if you’re looking to get your online shooter fix in VR, this is your best bet. Throw in full cross-play support and Population: One quickly climbs the chart of the best Oculus Quest games.

12. Moss – Read Our Review

Moss is one of a handful of 2018 games that proved that third-person VR experiences don’t just work but 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. Moss is easily one of the best Oculus Quest games and best Oculus Quest 2 games – bring on Book 2.

11. Eleven: Table Tennis

If you want the most accurate, authentic representation of a sport in VR today, Eleven: Table Tennis is easily your best bet. This simulation-level game offers the most convincing take on a sport that makes perfect sense in VR. Whether you’re serving up hotshots or getting in desperate returns, Eleven’s physics behave exactly the way you’d expect and tapping the ball with your controller starts to feel as natural as if it were a paddle. More than just a great game, Eleven is one of the rare VR experiences that feels like a genuine replacement for our reality. It’s that good and one of the best Oculus Quest games and best Oculus Quest 2 games.

10. A Township Tale – Read Our Review

Fair warning when it comes to A Township Tale: the game is categorically unfinished. I mean that literally; developer Alta is still plugging away adding new components to the experience and fixing bugs as we speak. Be warned that you won’t have the smoothest experience with this open-world online adventure/survival game, then. But if you can overlook at, you’re in for something special.

A Township Tale is incredibly detailed, asking players to build out a town by collecting resources, fending off enemies and building better gear that will allow you to venture out further into its world. Almost all of its interactions are incredibly considered and, though it’s hard to learn, the game’s fostered an impressive community of passionate players to teach you. There’s still a ways to go, but it’s already clear that A Township Tale is one of the best Oculus Quest games.

9. Beat Saber – Read Our Review

VR’s poster child finds its most natural fit on Quest. In Beat Saber, you slash notes to a beat, dodge obstacles and try to master an ever-growing list of fantastic tracks.

Wire-free gameplay breaks down the barriers between you and the music as you slice your way through an ever-growing list of tracks. Beat Saber is empowering, energetic and VR’s most devilishly addictive game yet. Don’t expect that status to change any time soon. You probably already knew that Beat Saber one of the best Oculus Quest games and best Oculus Quest 2 games.

8. A Fisherman’s Tale – Read Our Review

As great as VR is, its initial novelty is bound to wear off after your first few weeks or so. If you want to recapture the magic of putting on the headset for the first time, though, there’s one destination that’s bound to deliver: A Fisherman’s Tale. This is a mind-bending puzzle game unlike anything you’ll see elsewhere. That alone makes it one of the best Oculus Quest games and best Oculus Quest 2 games.

In A Fisherman’s Tale, you solve intricate, scale-based puzzles in which you work… with yourself. Its best puzzles utilize a miniature model of the lighthouse the game’s set in. Lift the roof of the model and you’ll see a mini-you, imitating your every move. Just try and keep your brain from breaking as you hand yourself giant objects, or reach down to poke your own head. It’s a trip to say the least. Throw in a poignant story about self-acceptance and you have a short, sharp VR game that will stay with you much longer than most multi-hour epics.

7. Onward – Read Our Review

Whereas Onward on PC is a worthy contender for the best online shooter, it definitely faces stiff competition. But, on Quest, the wire-free gameplay really comes into its own, opening up new tactics like easily going prone. Yes, the game’s suffered visually to get onto the headset, but when you’re aiming down your sights, scanning for targets, you won’t notice.

Onward pays close attention to realism, making it a game that can be hard to get to grips with, but absolutely rewarding to master. For that reason, it’s one of the best Oculus Quest games and best Oculus Quest 2 games.

6. Ghost Giant – Read Our Review

Upon first glance, Ghost Giant appears to be a charming little puzzler that makes the most of diorama-sized worlds. And that’s very much the case; in this adorable papercraft world you help your young companion out with different chores and tasks. That includes tickling clams and making intentive art in wonderfully tranquil locations. It’s whimsy, delightful and amazing in VR. But that’s only half the story.

Ghost Giant also hides a thoughtful take on depression, smartly communicated through this new medium. The game uses intimacy, scale and connection in engaging ways that bring you closer to the world and characters around you. It’s surprising and responsible, delivering some incredibly powerful moments. All told, it’s one of the most striking and unforgettable examples of VR storytelling yet seen and one of the best Oculus Quest games and best Oculus Quest 2 games.

5. Pistol Whip – Read Our Review

Pistol Whip may be the new kid on the block but, for our money, its sharpshooting, sharp sounding, beat-based gameplay proves to be even more hypnotic than Beat Saber. In others words, it’s easily one of the best Oculus Quest games. 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.

Pistol Whip’s key is to take influence not just from the VR sales king but also Superhot and, most prominently, John Wick. Whereas Beat Saber wants to make you a dancing Jedi master, Pistol Whip aims to teach you gun-fu with style, elegantly fusing the rhythmic and cinematic together a pulsating, vibrant monster of its own.

4. Echo VR – Read Our Review

Though we’d love to see Lone Echo itself come to Quest, Echo VR is a thrilling addition to the library all on its own. In this multiplayer zero-gravity game, you take part in futuristic esports, throwing discs to score points on a team. The movement is fast, fluid and entirely natural.

Though we don’t have the excellent Echo Combat expansion here (yet), Echo VR had stood the test of time as a multiplayer game with a growing community that was naturally conceived for the platform. To us, that’s far more important than trying to cram a genre everyone wants to see in VR onto the platform with mixed results. This is one of the immersive VR experiences and one of the best Oculus Quest games and best Oculus Quest 2 games.

3. Demeo – Read Our Review

Demeo isn’t a perfect tabletop game by any means. But it is a really good one and, more importantly, its first-rate four-player multiplayer VR experience makes it feel like a genuine social event in a way that no flatscreen game — and even few VR games — have ever really matched.

You pick a class and tackle randomly generated dungeons, but the game’s punishing difficulty means sessions can last anywhere from a few minutes to multiple hours. Demeo is already cemented as one of the best Oculus Quest games but, with more content on the way, including new dungeons and features, it’s only going to get better.

2. Superhot VR – Read Our Review

Superhot VR is one of the oldest games on this list and yet, over four years later, it’s still easily one of the best examples of how VR can give us entirely new gaming experiences. In this cinematic shooter, times moves only when you do. Sit still and the world around you will freeze, but move your body and it will jolt back to life. It’s your very own Matrix simulator.

What makes the game such an enduring hit is its accessible design that instantly picks up on a professional slickness you won’t find anywhere else in VR. From last-minute gun grabs to well-placed knife throws, the game constantly delivers unprecedented satisfaction with its action. Superhot VR is and always will be one of the best Oculus Quest games – surely we’re way past due for a sequel?

1. The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners – Read Our Review

We would have never pegged a game based upon The Walking Dead to carry arguably the best design and user-interaction you’ll find in VR, but Saints & Sinners delivers all that and then some. This sets the bar not just for VR zombie games but basically the entire medium with ridiculously entertaining physics-based combat that has you wrestling with hordes of undead, throwing every ounce of effort you can muster into every swing and stab.

But this isn’t just a silly sandbox or wave-based survival game (though it has that too). Saints & Sinners packs its action into a full, meaty VR campaign that sees you trekking through the remains of New Orleans. Add in human enemies, side-missions and the ability to kill zombies with a spoon, and you have one of the deepest native VR games on the market. Plus, thanks to an obscenely good port from developer Skydance Interactive, Saints & Sinners takes the throne at the top of our best Oculus Quest games list.
